The extreme right gets the facts wrong and the feelings right. Working class Americans feel like the system is rigged against them and the left is not proposing any real answers to their problems. This gave Steve Bannon an opportunity to play on our fears and propose a set of strategies to fill this void. It doesn\u2019t matter that their explanations for why the American dream evaporated were trumped up and lack factual basis. They can vilify who they wish – as long as there\u2019s somebody to blame. Global elites, Jewish space lasers or immigrants streaming across the border. It doesn\u2019t matter. They say all we need is somebody that will stand against the imaginary villains and stand up for the God fearing Americans.

I have railed against the right for having a platform with no solutions. That\u2019s not true. Their solution is \u201clock them up\u201d. It doesn\u2019t matter that it wouldn\u2019t help and would spell out the end of democracy. The dems offer tiny gains designed to offer a modicum of relief using the system we have now. Maga offers extreme changes that require burning the system down. Unfortunately, it\u2019s fascism right out of Nazi Germany in the 30s, and will not only bring about the collapse of democracy, but will in all likelihood spell the end of human life on the planet as climate change makes it unlivable for all but the most resilient lifeforms. If Trump wins in November and the reincarnationists are right, get ready to come back as bacteria.
