The Fascist Coalition: Manufacturing Outrage, Destroying Democracy
At this point, the blueprint is clear. The right-wing deep state has engineered a fascist coalition—not by uniting people around a shared vision, but by keeping them perpetually outraged at an endless list of enemies.
This coalition is not made up of elites alone—the real power comes from its ability to mobilize ordinary people against their own interests through fear, hatred, and scapegoating.
Most of their base are not billionaires.
Most of their base are not even religious extremists.
Most of their base are not actually persecuted.
And yet, they vote as if they are.
Why? Because the entire system depends on keeping them afraid.
The government, secularism, education, inclusivity, democracy itself—these are not just policy disputes to the deep state. These are existential threats to their power. That’s why they’ve spent decades dismantling these institutions.
The result? A coalition hellbent on destroying everything that stands in their way.
The Right-Wing Deep State Runs on Fear and Scapegoating
If there is one thing that keeps their coalition together, it’s this:
“YOU are under attack.”
They convince their base that:
Government is coming for your guns and your freedom.
Secularism is erasing Christianity.
Education is brainwashing your kids.
Inclusivity is a disguise for “anti-white discrimination.”
Immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and minorities are the root of all problems.
This is not about facts—it’s about keeping them in a permanent state of siege mentality. If the enemy is always at the gates, they will never stop fighting—even when that fight directly harms them.
That’s why they vote against their own wages.
That’s why they fight for billionaires’ tax cuts.
That’s why they demand “freedom” while embracing dictatorship.
And it’s why, despite all their internal contradictions, they keep marching in lockstep.
Weaponizing “Hypobole”: The Strategy of Deflecting the Fascism Label
One of the most successful tricks of the modern right-wing deep state is the weaponization of “hypobole”—their ability to cry hyperbole whenever they are called what they actually are: fascists.
They scream that calling Trump a fascist is overblown.
They say “dictator” is an extreme word.
They whine that the media is “biased” if it accurately reports on their authoritarianism.
They claim the left is hysterical for warning about democracy’s collapse.
And, worst of all? The media plays along.
The American press—terrified of being seen as “partisan”—refuses to call fascism what it is. Instead, they use:
“Strongman tactics” instead of dictatorship.
“Populist” instead of demagogue.
“Undemocratic policies” instead of outright authoritarianism.
The result? They normalize it.
📢 Hypobole is their shield—without it, they would be fully exposed.
And yet, by any historical measure, they meet every definition of fascism.

Let’s Set the Record Straight: Trumpism IS Fascism
The media won’t say it, but we will: Trump is a fascist. His movement is fascist. His entire plan for 2025 is openly authoritarian.
Every core element of fascism is present in Trumpism. He demands absolute loyalty, firing or punishing anyone who disobeys him. He tells his followers, "I am your retribution," insists only he can "fix" the country, and surrounds himself with sycophants willing to break laws to serve him.
Like all fascists before him, Trump mythologizes a false past to justify his power. Make America Great Again is not just a slogan—it’s a call to return to an era that never actually existed, where minorities, women, and political dissenters “knew their place.” Every strongman in history has sold the same dream of national “restoration” while dismantling democracy.
Trump openly defies Constitutional norms to consolidate power. He tried to overturn an election, called for the termination of the Constitution, and now, through Project 2025, is working to purge the federal government of anyone not personally loyal to him. His goal is to replace democracy with a one-man rule, enforced by handpicked loyalists.
Like all fascist leaders, he scapegoats minorities to justify his rise. He blames immigrants for crime and job loss, calls trans people a “threat” that must be “eradicated,” and fuels racial paranoia to keep his base in a constant state of panic. His movement does not offer solutions—only enemies.
Trump even has his own concentration camp—Guantanamo Bay—where his administration is already detaining undocumented immigrants without trial. With the Laken Riley Act, he now has the power to detain anyone suspected of both a crime and being undocumented, without due process. His push for mass deportations, expanded camps, and police-state crackdowns is already underway—and will only escalate.
And, as every fascist does, Trump attacks the press as “the enemy of the people” to undermine truth itself. He has threatened to jail journalists, revoke media licenses, and punish networks that report on his corruption. He relies entirely on propaganda, telling his followers that any news outside of his controlled ecosystem is a lie.
📢 This is not hyperbole—this is literal fascism, unfolding in real time.
And yet, because of hypobole—the right’s ability to cry “exaggeration” at every accusation—the media refuses to call it what it is. But we will.
Join the Fight, Amplify the Truth
Because silence is surrender. We never surrender. We are #TheRelentless.
American Manifesto asks one of the most pertinent questions in recent history. What motivates people to vote against their own interests? A worthy read for all those who have repeatedly asked themselves that question.
If anyone accuses you of being "overblown," the response is to fold your arms & calmly say something like, "No. It's not." Say it as many times as you need to, over & over. Hitler advised everyone to do this, & he certainly wouldn't have if it didn't work!
