Today is Wednesday, October 15, 2025. In just three days, the nation will rise up in massive protests throughout the land to demonstrate against the sliding authoritarianism being practiced by the current regime led by the Orange Idiot. Today I went to a local hardware store on Metropolitan Avenue to buy paint stirrers to use as handles on my protest signs. Today an online article for Who What Why, written by Klaus Marre, covers how the fascist party, formerly known as the Republican Party, views these protests and it is called “Republicans Are Terrified of the ‘No Kings’ Mass Protest.”

Though the article states that the Republican Party may not have been committed authoritarians themselves before Trump 2.0, “these Republicans are now accessories to upending American democracy.”

“And the one thing authoritarians fear more than anything else is that the people rise up against them, because, while they may control all of the levers of power, there is a strength in numbers that they can only match with excessive violence.”

This explains why repugnicans are so worried about the “No Kings” demonstrations that are scheduled for this Saturday and are expected to draw millions of participants in more than 2,000 separate events.

To counteract what may turn out to be a record-breaking protest, they have settled on the talking point that this will be a “hate America” rally. This type of garbage is being peddled by that hidden pedophile in the House, House Speaker MAGA Johnson, who is Dump’s personal toady. This is the actual shit that “Clark Kent”ish Johnson spewed out and it should be condemned by rational people everywhere: “We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let’s see who shows up for that. I bet you’ll see Hamas supporters, I bet you’ll see the Marxists on full display, the people who don’t want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic.”

Here of course, Johnson has no fucking idea on what this country is founded on: people coming together to peacefully protest a monarch (in this case, Dictator Don), and exercise their First Amendment rights.

The plan that these ugly repugnicans is pursuing is to pretend that the people attending the protests will be a bunch of radicals hellbent on destroying the country. How can they dismiss then millions of disgruntled Americans who take to the streets to protest this harsh administration.

To help counteract this alternate vision of these protests, it’s important that demonstrators this Saturday not commit any violent acts or destroy any property. Because it’s these repugnicans who truly do hope that violence and chaos erupts on Saturday, but I strongly believe that this won’t happen. All of the demonstrations I attended here in New York were extremely peaceful.

The article ends with detailing what a true “Hate America” really looks like: It occurred on January 6, 2021, during Donald Chump’s first administration.

And if you still believe this rotten party isn’t a fascist party, a new scandal is swirling through the repugnican party involving 2,900 pages of chats between leaders of Young Republican groups in which members of the group chat spoke freely about “the love of Nazis within their party’s right wing,” which is actually an accurate observation. As the chat’s contacts were leaked, it was discovered that members referred to Black people as “monkeys” and “the watermelon people,” all the while musing about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Confronted with this ghastly scandal, the repulsive person known as JD Vance did not just condemn the texts as racist and violent, his first instinct was to downplay the imbroglio and go after a Democrat. He went after Virginia’s Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for state attorney general this year, for sending violent texts in 2022. If this were true, those texts first appeared three years ago, not today, with the publication of these vile texts written by young Republicans in their 30s and currently working for elected officials, ostensibly serving the public. These were not random high school or college students exchanging silly, male bravado in hugely offensive texts. These could be future elected officials – hope not!

Vance’s fucking weak response to this scandal just illustrates how bad he would be as president also if the Orange Guy ever leaves the public stage. Boy, are we fucked!

And so it went!

Here is a huge skeleton appearing as a Halloween display at Austin Street Pizza. Doesn’t it send shivers down your spine?
