America is Exporting Fascism Instead of Freedom

Once upon a time - before the Trump era -America was known for exporting freedom.

We we're considered the beacon of Democracy across the planet. People from every country wanted to come to America, the land of the free. They still do.

But now we have domestic terrorists working with other countries like Brazil to install authoritarian regimes. Leading the charge is Steve Bannon, a Trump-pardoned criminal who helped the former president get elected.

When Brazil's leader Jair Bolsonaro recently lost his election he ran to Miami, Florida.

His son Edwardo went straight to Mar-a-Lago to consult with seditionist experts Trump and Steve Bannon on how to stage a coup. They both had ties to the Bolsonaro family that go back for years.

Bolsonaro and Trump had one thing in common. To install a fascist-style government with themselves as lifetime leaders. Bannon's mission was to help them and any other insurrectionists around the world achieve their goals. Burn baby, burn.

That bond was never more apparent than when Bolsonaro minions stormed Brazil's government buildings demanding the new president step down because he rigged the elections, recently.

It was a Latin American replay of Bannon and Trumps attempt to disrupt a legal election with lies and dark money on Jan.6th.

The coup playbook penned by Bannon as a blueprint for insurrection is circulating among other countries where democracies are under fire even as you read this.

Between Bannon's global efforts to burn down democracies and the rising numbers of White Supremacists in the nation exporting violence and racism, America has become a breeding ground for right-wing ideologies intent on exporting hate and fascism.

The world is watching the creeping chaos with concern about how it will eventually affect them. Lady Liberty's torch is dimming more every day.

With the House takeover by Republicans, we're seeing a litany of frivolous investigations spring up from the sewers of QAnon and traitor lawmakers who tried to overturn our electoral system in 2020.

We don't have a united Congress. What we do have is a war between a Democratic Senate and the Republican House of Representatives that's threatening the very foundations of our republic.

As it stands, we must reestablish our reputation as defenders of freedom and democracy by not voting for right-wing insurrectionists in the next election.
