Vote for a “liberal” or vote for a terrorist – what’s a staunch Republican to do?

Sean’s Monologue: How Conservatism Shapes Policy

This week on Coup Save America, Sean speaks with Russell Jack, a former U.S. Air Marshal and the author of Is MAGA a Terrorist Movement? With a combination of inside knowledge and meticulous research, Russell’s book presents a solid warning about a threat to our democracy as we know it.

Russell begins by breaking down how the Make America Great Again movement meets the definition of a terrorist organization with its fascist desire to have one-party control with a powerful leader at the top. He explains how MAGA relies on the use of intimidation to achieve political goals, how their agenda clashes with the 12th amendment, and how their beliefs contradict a pro-American stance.

Russell is careful to distinguish between ‘regular Republicans’ and those who actively support MAGA. He tells us that the Republican party is in a difficult position after being co-opted by MAGA.

Is Russell catastrophizing a relatively benign situation? He explains his fear that infringement upon America’s freedoms could easily be escalated by the compliance of law enforcement agencies if a MAGA-led government enacts unconstitutional policies. Drawing from his inside experience, Russell tells us that while law enforcement has always been a conservative-leaning profession, he has seen far too many people in authority who seem too willing to fall in line with an extremist government. Enforcement will be the key to the erosion of our freedoms. Nobody wants to live in a fascist country, yet nobody recognizes it coming and stops it.

Sean and Russell address many questions during their conversation…Can the MAGA movement still take hold without Trump as a figurehead? How can a person be charged in one state for something that is illegal in different state? Why is the electoral college so outdated? Why wasn’t Trump impeached for insurrection? How do the characteristics of MAGA align with other terrorist groups, such as Al-Qaeda? Why ISN’T the Black Lives Matter movement a terrorist operation? And does it even matter if Trump’s felony charges are politically motivated?

Russell and Sean discuss how various things that were once automatic disqualifiers in our society have now become accepted, projection vs. deflection, and (as always) the unreliability of mainstream media. Finally, Russell offers us advice on what we can do to fight against the MAGA movement.
