The US military oath for "Officers" includes "do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic," It says nothing of obeying the President. #veteran

On April 15, 2025, GA Gov. Brian Kemp (R) who may jump in the race to unseat GA Senator Jon Ossoff (D) announced a tax rebate for all GA tax payers. My $250 share of that rebate will be donated to the Jon Ossoff campaign. How you like them apples Brian?

"When Nazis Are Quoted from the Bench: MAGA's March
Toward Tyranny"
By Tony Pentimalli
It happened in America. In 2025. In the halls of Congress.
Republican Congressman Keith Self, during a House hearing on censorship and public discourse, looked into the camera and quoted Joseph Goebbels - Hitler's Minister of Propaganda - as if he were citing a respected authority on governance. "It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion." Let those words sink in. This wasn't an academic comparison. This wasn't a history lesson. It was a quote from the architect of the Nazi propaganda machine, spoken aloud by a sitting U.S. Congressman in defense of state control over speech.
There is no context in which quoting Goebbels is appropriate. Ever. But in Trump's America - where the line between fascism and patriotism has been deliberately blurred β€” it's not just tolerated. It's a signal.
Make no mistake: MAGA's flirtation with fascism is over.
They've moved in, redecorated the place, and made it their home.
We are no longer watching the slow creep of authoritarianism. We are watching the sprint. And Donald Trump, now back in the Oval Office after the most disgraceful and dangerous comeback in American political history, is not merely condoning it β€” he's fueling it.

When Trump praises dictators like Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, it's not hyperbole or entertainment. It's aspiration. When he declares immigrants "poisoning the blood of our nation," he's not echoing Ronald Reagan - he's echoing Adolf Hitler. And now, with Project 2025 well underway, his loyalists are pushing a roadmap that reads like a dystopian instruction manual: purge the federal government of dissenters, dismantle checks and balances, roll back civil rights, and crush independent thought.
But quoting Goebbels? That's a new low - even for MAGA.
Let's call this what it is: a brazen embrace of Nazi ideology. Goebbels was not a mere commentator on propaganda. He was its master, responsible for brainwashing a nation, silencing truth, and greasing the rails to Auschwitz with lies and hate. When a U.S.
Congressman lifts his words to justify government control of speech, we are staring fascism dead in the eyes.
And don't for one second believe it was a slip.
Keith Self sits on the same ideological team that celebrated January 6th as "patriotic," that wants to erase uncomfortable truths from our children's textbooks, that has outlawed books, banned history, and turned "wokeness" into a slur. These are not conservative values. These are authoritarian tactics. And they are working.

They've already dismantled reproductive rights. They've gutted voting protections. They've weaponized the courts - including a Supreme Court so compromised it shrinks from defending democracy and instead shields billionaires, guns, and bigotry. Trump's allies now wear the language of fascism like a badge of honor:
"retribution," "domination," "the enemy of the people."
And we? We are told to be civil. To see "both sides." To pretend that quoting Nazis from the House dais is just a political misstep and not a five-alarm fire.
This is not a drill. This is not about taxes or inflation or even the usual push and pull of partisanship. This is about whether America remains a democracy - or descends into something far darker. MAGA isn't offering policy. It's offering control. It's offering submission. It's offering a future where dissent is treason, where truth is decided by decree, and where quoting Hitler's inner circle is not only allowed - but cheered.
The danger here isn't abstract. It's personal. If you're Black, brown, LGBTQ+, Muslim, Jewish, disabled, poor, female, or an immigrant - you are the target. If you're a teacher who believes in science, a librarian who stocks Beloved, a journalist who tells uncomfortable truths - you are the threat. If you believe that America is strongest when it defends liberty and not stomps on it - you are in the way.
And if we don't stop this now, quoting Goebbels in Congress won't be a scandal. It will be the standard.
History is screaming at us. The same tools used by fascists of the past - fear, propaganda, scapegoating, and the slow normalization of hate - are being sharpened by men like Trump and wielded by cowards like Keith Self.

We cannot wait for it to get worse. It already has.
This is the moment to speak, to act, to resist. Because when they start quoting Nazis without shame, the only thing left is whether we have the courage to say: Never again.
And mean it.
