Neo-fascism is indeed a loaded word. To me it's just the same old poison in new bottles. The politics of blame and scapegoating, stirring division and hatred, undermining democratic institutions, hyper-nationalism, no positive platform other than gaining power - I do believe America is flirting with fascism. But it's so dangerous, and it spreads and metastasizes so virulently that it's hard to put that genie back in the bottle.

But I don't want to get into these issues here; your site has a purpose and an audience. Your focus on replacing McCarthy is spot-on; for his own selfish reasons he is enabling the far right members of Congress to take control of the narrative. So he must be replaced.

If any of your readers wish to explore the issue of neo-fascism they're welcome to visit my substack newsletter for some articles, book reviews, even some sick humor (because humor can bring people together).

I truly believe American democracy is at risk, and that fascism is on the rise, but Jerry's site isn't the place to get this, because he has a clear and relevant focus on replacing McCarthy. Feel free to visit my (free) site; it's called "A Warning" because it's focused on the growing danger that I see every day.

McCarthy is enabling that danger to grow, so thank you Jerry and friends for trying to remove McCarthy and bring some moderation and sanity to the Congress.

Thank you Abraham. I especially appreciate your support as I know you've done extensive research on the subject of neofascism.

It's easy to underestimate the growing threat to our Republic posed by the MAGA extremists in Congress, even as they are quite forthright about their intentions. Replacing McCarthy as Speaker is the most direct way of countering that threat.
