Today the question MSNBC asks is, "Are we on the verge of a Constitutional crisis?"
As Jack de Selby has said, "That crisis came in November."
In November we thoughtlessly elected a Fascist president, much as Germany once elected Hitler, Russia elected Putin and Italy elected Mussolini. It's still early, though. Maybe the 2026 election will matter.
We can make it matter.
Donny Two-Dolls is using Putin and Viktor Orban of Hungary as change models. Orban got elected, then softly reset the vital institutions of his nation. Soon he owned them all. That silenced criticism, which made Orban even more popular.
For example, Orban went after the most elite Hungarian university. He drove the faculty and staff out of Hungary. The university relocated to another nation.
Two-Dolls is after Harvard and universities in general. Part of the Fascist plan is to reshape academic analyses.
MAGA wants its new order to last. It plans to bring universities (and other institutions like the courts) to heel.
In Hungary the people did not jump up to defend elite professors, and most Americans are not going to defend Harvard.
So how do ordinary people live in a nation where Fascists win elections?
Consider the billions who have no choice. They get up in the morning and go to work. They raise their children. They enjoy sunsets and music. They try not to think. They eat out once a month. Life goes by, much as it did under Ashurbanipal.
