Report from the Fascist Shit Show, aka Republican Convention, Day One
| revcom.us
This was a dual message: on the one hand, straight-up fascist assault rhetoric that Trump is defending Western civilization against “them.”
Who is the “them” that people should fear?
- the supposed “socialists” in the Democratic Party;
- the so-called “mob” (referring, that is, to the several million protesters who righteously stood up against police brutality, pitting their bodies against tear gas, batons, rubber bullets and all the rest and NOT the real mob of AK-carrying fascist thugs out in support of their “brothers” in the police force);
- any countries that the Trump people tell you to fear;
- anyone who does not wish to live in a white Christian theocracy!
This theme was hammered by Charlie Kirk, Kimberly Guilfoyle, the white vigilantes who backed up Trump by arguing for the apartheidization of suburbia, and Junior Trump. Junior even said that the choice was between “Work, Family, and Church” (which by the way has been the historic slogan of fascism in Europe) and “rioting, looting, vandalism”—referring, again, to the millions-strong, multicultural, beautiful protests of the spring!
To sum up the theme: Heil Mein Trumpf!! Vanquish Our Enemies!!
Trump himself in the morning claimed again that the only way he could possibly lose would be through massive voter fraud—thereby setting things up further to unleash his armed thugs and DHS goons, in concert with local pigs, to nullify results. And in case you didn’t get it, he also said that his “Second Amendment” people (again, armed fascist thugs) could “clean up” Portland in a day.
He is telling you that he will not recognize the results of the election and that he will do things that go way beyond what he has already done. And the other speakers are working to whip up his followers into rabid dogs.
Oh, and then there was the second theme. The fascists trotted out their Uncle Tom Division—the chump Herschel Walker (who jumped at the chance to be on TV again to claim Trump is not a racist), the opportunist lowlifes Nikki Haley and Tim Scott whose tongues are long enough to lap up anything if it will advance their careers, and some other assorted fools who sell their souls to the highest bidder to claim that Trump is actually the great friend and upholder of Black people.
Meanwhile, Trump, the supposed “anti-racist,” campaigns on segregating suburbia, crushing dissent, and unleashing the police to a whole other level, as well as his programs of forced pregnancy and childbearing for women and back-in-the-closet for LGBTQ, the destruction of the environment, unchecked aggression, and instituting a program in the ghettos and barrios that will make the last 40 years of mass incarceration pale in comparison.

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
