It\u2019s not out of the question. At this point, I fully expect Kamala Harris to win by some 10 million votes, but we all know the opinions of the lowly American voters may not be the determining factor, given the groups of eager little fascists who will be counting and certifying the votes, the ignorant morons in Congress who were only stopped last time by Mike Pence, and the five and dime toadies on the courts. Trump may be President again no matter what the American people want.<\/p>\n<p>What Trump wants may also not be a factor. His obvious dementia is worsening by the day, and if he even knows he\u2019s President, he may not be able to rise above the level of Rufus T. Firefly (\u201cMedals for Everyone!\u201d). But the sleek vicious people backing and propping up Trump know exactly what they want, and they are operating on the same game plan that brought Trump this far.<\/p>\n<p>Their position is going to be very precarious. Much of America is going to be shocked, and then angry. Donald\u2019s been threatening to send out the military and the national guard to \u201cdeal with\u201d protesters, and I can\u2019t feel certain that they won\u2019t open fire on unarmed American protesters. That almost certainly will not pacify the population.<\/p>\n<p>Some of Donald\u2019s most fervent supporters, the ones in the red caps and flag-bedecked clothes, are going to start fulfilling some of their sick fantasies. They have people they want to round up and deal with. Gays, \u2018immigrants\u2019 (pretty much anyone with dark skin or an accent), Blacks, infidels and drag queens will all be at risk. Even though the party line is staunchly pro-Israel, Jews will be on the list.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump cabal know it will be hard enough to quell a popular uprising without the aggravating factor of the MAGAts, who will be proudly noisy and public in the persecution of their perceived enemies. They will be seen as loose cannons, and worse than loose cannons.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been here before, in history. Just 90 years ago, in fact.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been called the R\u00f6hm purge, or Operation Hummingbird, but it\u2019s best known around the world as The Night of the Long Knives.<\/p>\n<p>Adolf Hitler rose to power in part through the street violence, real and implied, of the SA, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sturmabteilung\"><i>Sturmabteilung<\/i><\/a><i>. <\/i>This was just a collection of thugs, loonies, stilyagi, and militia types, disaffected, resentful and alienated males who felt dispossessed and deprived and had long lists of villains and \u201ctypes\u201d to blame for that. Then, as now, they were fertile ground for a demagogue seeking street power. Then, as now, they were more than willing to step into a new role that made them feel empowered and part of something greater than themselves. They would cheerfully loom threateningly at political rallies of opponents, lurk armed near polling places, and just generally give Hitler street muscle.<\/p>\n<p>After he became Chancellor, Hitler quickly realized that the untrained and undisciplined thugs, the Brownshirts, as they were known, would be a massively destabilizing feature of his still-precarious regime. They needed to be brought to heel.<\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t just shoot the lot of them, of course. They numbered in the millions, and people would talk. But Hitler understood that the bellicosity and bluster of those people was mostly for show, and they could be brought to heel.<\/p>\n<p>Hitler had two other paramilitary groups at hand\u2014the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Schutzstaffel\"><i>Schutzstaffel<\/i><\/a> (SS) under Himmler, and the Gestapo, under Heydrich. Both were better trained, better disciplined, and critically kept a much lower profile during Hitler\u2019s rise to power. They were designed to be his agencies of vengeance, persecution and suppression after he attained power. Eventually, they would be the backbone of Hitler\u2019s \u201cFinal Solution\u201d that sent twelve million people to their deaths in his camps.<\/p>\n<p>On the night of June 30, 1934, Hitler had them strike against the Brownshirts. In one of those supreme strokes of irony that only utter despots can come up with, the purge was justified on the grounds that the Brownshirts were agents of a group of immigrants intent on overthrowing the new order\u2014about the only \u2018crime\u2019 they weren\u2019t guilty of.<\/p>\n<p>The purge was over by July 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, and while the official number of extrajudicial executions was only 85, the number killed is estimated at being between 700 and 1000. While the purge was aimed at the Brownshirts, a large number of other Germans wound up as collateral damage\u2014traditional conservatives, trade unionists, members of the Reichstag, including former Chancellors and cabinet members.<\/p>\n<p>It would be pretty easy to extrapolate current day equivalents, in additions to the red-capped loudmouths who hate libruls and \u201cillegals\u201d; people like Mike Pence, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Mike Johnson, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Laura Loomer. Yes, some of those are staunch Trump supporters who, once he\u2019s back in office, will no longer be of any use, but would still be loud embarassments, disappointments, and so on. His opponents will go, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the Brownshirts survived the Night, of course. Many wound up in the SS or the Gestapo, a sleeker, darker, disciplined and vicious army designed to kill and terrify. Those less morally and politically nimble wound up in the army, or the camps. In the end, none of them did well in Hitler\u2019s doomed Reich.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re a member of MAGA, and you are envisioning a bright future where an avuncular Trump beams at you as you kick liberals to death in the streets or rape the daughters of immigrants or cut the beards off rabbis, read your history and ponder this:<\/p>\n<p>After he takes power, Trump (or the people propping him up) is going to look at you. And he isn\u2019t going to see a brave patriot who sacrificed for the cause. He\u2019s going to see an uncontrolled and unkempt loudmouth who already betrayed his country once.<\/p>\n<p>He won\u2019t like you. He won\u2019t trust you.<\/p>\n<p>You might even wind up in the camps before I do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryan Zepp Jamieson October 22nd 2024 Let\u2019s suppose Trump attains the Presidency next January.
