It appears that America, Russia, and Europe won World War II battles, but lost the War in the end.  America, Russia, and Europe seem to be headed toward Nazi concepts, methods, rhetoric, and behavioral standards.

In America, we will soon have our version of Hitler and his followers behave the same as Hitler’s followers behaved.  Every time Trump raises his arm [which I assume he means to keep fighting], I think of the salute that Hitler’s followers gave him at his appearance.

Trump’s election says the majority of Americans support — bullies, shady con men, liars [dishonest], rapists or at least abusers of women, low moral character, and generally horrid people. The majority of Americans do not support the law and respect others or their rights.

When the media [including news people] say something, they should not say Americans support Trump or his coming actions.  Trump has made it clear he only represents his base who elected him.  The rest of us ceased to exist, I guess.  When making such statements, the media should say Trump’s base of Americans and not “ALL” Americans.  I was listening to CNN yesterday and the speaker on it referred to All Americans when referring to Trump and the support of his planned actions.  Just because he won the Presidency, does not mean ALL Americans think he is God’s Gift to the World.

I can see why so many foreign people and countries think of America in a negative way.  I strongly suggest foreign entities [even Putin] not trust our incoming leaders as it has been proven they are untrustworthy.  Foreign and domestic enities should not depend on anything said or done by the incoming leadership.

Note:  An 11/9/2024 headline “Trump still hasn’t signed ethics agreement required for presidential transition” was on the Internet.  Question:  How can an unethical person sign an ethics agreement that is meaningful?

We are headed knee-deep into the END TIMES:

“Widespread embrace of sin, evil, and occult practices signals the world’s progression toward the end times. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)”

“Societal norms will shift, with what was once considered immoral becoming accepted and celebrated. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)”

Today, many in our country have become desensitized to moral issues because immorality is rampant. It could cause our Country to implode.

For those of us who are real Republicans, there is NO REPUBLICAN PARTY anymore.  There is now a MAGA PARTY INSTEAD. The MAGA Party should be called the Hydra Party instead!

{The Hydra was a serpent-like water monster with nine heads with regenerative powers often referenced in Greek mythology. It was an offspring of Typhon and Echidna bred by Hera to kill Hercules.   It was a multifarious evil not to be overcome by a single effort.} {In the Marvel World, Hydra was founded with the goal of world conquest, either overtly or covertly. Generally, the new Hydra world order would be a Fascist, often neo-Nazi, totalitarian state.}

No one should refer to the Republican Party as it is now the Maga/Hydra Party.  The media and all other entities should only talk of the MAGA/HYDRA PARTY.  [Maga refers to Make America Gastly Awful and Appalling! NO MATTER what Trumpian’s or Maga voters think.]

It makes me disgusted when I hear the Maga/Hydra Party referred to as the Republican Party.

Just because you call a Party — Republican, does not mean it is such a party.  The Republican Party died and ceased to exist. Face it and act accordingly.

reprint:  Trump Won. Now What?  11/6/2024

Donald Trump has won, and will become president for the second time. Those who voted for him will now celebrate their victory. The rest of us need to prepare to live in a different America: a country where millions of our fellow citizens voted for a president who knowingly promotes hatred and division; who lies—blatantly, shamelessly—every time he appears in public; who plotted to overturn an election in 2020 and, had he not won, was planning to try again in 2024.

Above all, we must learn to live in an America where an overwhelming number of our fellow citizens have chosen a president who holds the most fundamental values and traditions of our democracy, our Constitution, even our military in contempt. Over the past decade, opinion polls showed Americans’ faith in their institutions waning. But no opinion poll could make this shift in values any clearer than this vote. As a result of this election, the United States will become a different kind of country.

When he was last in the White House, the president-elect ignored ethics and security guidelines, fired inspectors general and other watchdogs, leaked classified information, and used the Department of Homeland Security in the summer of 2020 as if it were the interior ministry of an authoritarian state, deploying U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Coast Guard “troops” in American cities. Trump actively encouraged the January 6, 2021, insurrection at our Capitol. When he left the White House, he stole classified documents and hid them from the FBI.

Because a critical mass of Americans aren’t bothered by that list of transgressions, any one of which would have tanked the career of another politician, Trump and his vice president–elect, J.D. Vance, will now try to transform the federal government into a loyalty machine that serves the interests of himself and his cronies. This was the essence of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, and its architects, all Trump fans, will now endeavor to make it become reality. Trump will surely try again to dismantle America’s civil service, replacing qualified scientists and regulators with partisan operatives. His allies will help him to build a Department of Justice that does not serve the Constitution, but instead focuses on harassing and punishing Trump’s enemies. Trump has spoken, in the past, of using the Federal Communications Commission and the Internal Revenue Service to punish media organizations and anyone else who crosses him, and now he will have the chance to try again.

Perhaps the greater and more insidious danger is not political repression or harassment, but corruption. Autocratic populists around the world—in Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela—have assaulted institutions designed to provide accountability and transparency in order to shift money and influence to their friends and families, and this may happen in America too. This is not just a theoretical threat. As loyalists take over regulatory agencies, filling not only political but also former civil-service jobs, American skies will become more polluted, American food more dangerous. As a result of this massive shift in the country’s bureaucratic culture, Trump-connected companies will prosper, even as America becomes less safe for consumers, for workers, for children, for all of us.

American foreign policy will also reflect this shift toward kleptocracy. In his first term, Trump abused the powers of his office, corrupting American foreign policy for his personal gain. He pressured the Ukrainian president to launch a fake investigation of his political opponent; altered policy toward Turkey, Qatar, and other nations in ways that suited his business interests; even used the Secret Service to funnel government money to his private properties. In a second term, he and the people around him will have every incentive to go much further. Expect them to use American foreign policy and military power to advance their personal and political goals.

There are many things a re-elected President Trump cannot do. But there are some things he can do. One is to cut off aid to Ukraine. The Biden administration has three months to drop all half-measures and rush supplies to Ukraine before Trump forces a Ukrainian surrender to Russia. If there’s anything in the American arsenal that Ukraine might successfully use—other than nuclear weapons—send it now, before it’s too late.

Another thing Trump can do is to impose further tariffs–and intensify a global trade war against not only China but also against former friends, partners, and allies. America First will be America Alone, no longer Ronald Reagan’s “city on a hill,” but now just another great power animated by predatory nationalism.

Around the world, illiberal politicians who seek to subvert their own democracies will follow America’s lead. With no fear of American criticism or reaction, expect harassment of press and political opponents in countries such as Mexico and Turkey to grow. Expect the Russian-backed electoral cheating recently on display in Georgia and Moldova to spread. Expect violent rhetoric in every democracy: If the American president can get away with it, others will conclude that they can too. The autocratic world, meanwhile, will celebrate the victory of someone whose disdain for the rule of law echoes and matches their own. They can assume Trump and Vance will not promote human rights, will not care about international law, and will not reinforce our democratic alliances in Europe and Asia.

But the most difficult, most agonizing changes are the ones that will now take place deep inside our society. Radicalization of a part of the anti-Trump camp is inevitable, as people begin to understand that existential issues, such as climate change and gun violence, will not be tackled. A parallel process will take place on the other side of the political spectrum, as right-wing militias, white supremacists, and QAnon cultists are reenergized by the election of the man whose behavior they have, over eight years, learned to imitate. The deep gaps within America will grow deeper. Politics will become even angrier. Trump won by creating division and hatred, and he will continue to do so throughout what is sure to be a stormy second term.

My generation was raised on the belief America could always be counted upon to do the right thing, even if belatedly: reject the isolationism of America First and join the fight against Nazism; fund the Marshall Plan to stop communism; extend the promise of democracy to all people without regard to race or sex. But maybe that belief was true only for a specific period, a unique moment. There were many chapters of history when America did the wrong thing for years or decades. Maybe we are living through such a period now.

Or maybe the truth is that democracy is always a close-run thing, always in contention. If so, then we too must—as people in other failing democracies have learned to do—find new ways to champion wobbling institutions and threatened ideas. For supporters of the American experiment in liberal democracy, our only hope is education, organization, and the creation of a coalition of people dedicated to defending the spirit of the Constitution, the ideals of the Founders, the dream of freedom. More concretely: public civic-education campaigns to replace the lessons no longer taught in schools; teams of lawyers who can fight for the rule of law in courts; grassroots organizing, especially in rural and small-town America; citizens and journalists working to expose and fight the enormous wave of kleptocracy and corruption that will now engulf our political system..

Many of those shattered by this result will be tempted to withdraw into passivity—or recoil into performative radicalism. Reject both. We should focus, instead, on how to win back to the cause of liberal democracy a sufficient number of those Americans who voted for a candidate who denigrated this nation’s institutions and ideals.

America needs to help Ukraine as much as possible between now and Jan 20, 2025, with as much weapons, money, etc.

Trump will most likely give Ukraine to Russia by not supporting Ukraine anymore with any help at all.  He will most likely try to get other NATO countries to do the same.

———————————–

Also, NATO needs to strengthen itself as Trump will most likely try to weaken it or destroy it altogether.

In any case, all the above opens room in the political World to the European and German emergence of the AntiChrist who eventually goes to war with Russia.

With Trump as President, America will go downhill faster than it would have done.
