This commentary would be more valuable if it included a more detailed history of prior Republican efforts to institute fascism, as far back as the Business Plot/ Wall Street Putsch and maybe further. The Mellon name is represented pretty far back in these efforts. I say that because I've seen so many people saying that the Republican party has just now lately become fascistic but justifying their previous allegiance. Those folks need to understand Republicans have been dirty dealers for the rich, for a loooong time.
That was not a Republican effort. It was a corrupt movement by corrupt people. Republican can do nothing on it's own. It requires corrupt people like Obama, Biden, Harris, Pence, Pelosi, Schumer, Chaney, McCain, Holder, Garland, Kennedy...
I saw a post on Twitter the other day from someone who got it. It said, "We eat one billionaire, the rest will fall in line pretty quickly." Honestly, we eat one, and the rest will not worry about "cancellation."
The Harris/Walz campaign proves that politicians can effectively run 6 month campaigns. Limiting the time wasted on them would force these con men into doing the work we the people are paying them to do. Let wealthy money launderers find another way to clean the fruits of their poisonous trees.

I thought you were going to speak on The Business Plot when they tried removing FDR in a fascist coup. Prescott B. was a plotter. His son and grandson became US presidents so they've been marching us towards that the whole time either way.

Imagine the economy We Could have, if that money wasn't spent on useless ads that profit the same people donating the money. What if That money went through Normal Americans, how much better would the Entire economy be?
This is horrible. But, we all knew it would be. Has to be addressed quickly. Our government is a mess of problems. We have to put our shoulders to the wheel & fix FAST. I would LOVE another FDR policy part deaux. Great show Thom. Thank you for your work.
They tried this in the 1930s its called the buisness plot.

the money that is being spent on the election is obscene,you could wipe out poverty and provide proper health care for every American,just shows what the priorities are for both candidates,Democracy is a con!
Sure fascism is great if you are the one in power like they are. But I would love to see them trying to survive on $15,000 for just 1 year raising a family. They would whither away. Their power comes from money ours come from resilience.
It's time for limit laws on candidates. Equal exposure, caps on spending and donations, rally limits, etc. There is no democracy, it is oligarchal corperatocracy
One would think the oligarchs would take a peek at what Putin does to syncophants that make him look bad. Lots of them “fall” out of windows. Being an oligarch isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
If Corporations are People, they should be subject to the SAME limits as REAL people - $1700 per candidate. I'll even let them cast ONE vote. But the money race MUST be replaced - and will not be, even Kamala won't get THAT done. Dammit.
I think Reagan was the business plot 2.0 and it was obviously successful. And the side effects are always getting worse as nobody is legitimately doing anything to reverse reagans policies. And trump was a response to people dealing with those side effects.
What do these billionaires want for their money . I find it hard to believe that a reduction of regulations would save them a hundred million , but maybe . I suspect they will ( or would ) gain new grants and contracts from the government , as well as , of course , total lack of income or corporate tax . A person who is a billionaire is greedy without limit . They want everything . No limit .

If Trump is put in, and it looks like he will be, it’s over for the world. Our economy will crash. I will refuse ALL media because Trump is addicted to attention and I’m sick of him so much I would donate to a better aim. I am sick to think of life run by billionaires. I’m deleting Amazon I’m canceling all streaming Possibly phone. They ruined life for everyone.
every super pac and 501c3 should have every donation and dollar as public accessible info. It's literally buying government, so should be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests just as government info is.
Greed is the most destructive addiction..
In the end it will destroy this civilization as it has all others.
That would be envy, the dominant mood of the left.
Don't forget its constant companion - religion. The combination WILL kill the human race - for profit and power.

Beautiful idea, and they will call you a Communist for having it, and the enemy within.
A beautiful idea. And for having it they would call you the e.n.e.m.y. within.
A beautiful idea, and they’d call you demeaning names for it.
FWIW, the phrase "help the poor" is an open invitation to every Trump-humping scammer to help himself.
They'd call you a socialist.

Trump was having rallies for the past 3 1/2 years.

Stop Citizens United
Campaign finance reform will change everything for the better. They just have to do it. SCOTUS knew what would happen.

Evil prevails…. this country is in a lot of trouble. People better get out in votes. Vote for democracy vote.
Democracy always commits Suicide.
All that money that they can afford to give it away. Time to tax them so they can’t give more than you and i
All that money wasted.
We must make our choice. We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.

Thank you Mr. Hartman for your intelligence, patience, empathy, and kindness. I enjoy listening to you.
Good work
Telling the Truth is priceless.
in politics the truth is dead
They never give up. Remember the Business Plot??

It must be nice to be rich.
It's time for limit laws on candidates. Equal exposure, caps on spending and donations, rally limits, etc. There is no democracy, it is oligarchal corperatocracy
as the powerful become richer and more powerful, what possible magic is going to counter this inevitability?
DOJ. Get to work now. Start all court cases immediately. Move it.
Any one remember the McCain -Fiengold attempt to rein in this dark money?
I wonder why rallies have to be expensive spectacle. Why you need a celebrity to follow. Where is your own common sense.
Gonna sky scream Thommy....
Would ALL the Democrats vote to repeal Citizens United? I think there may be quite a few corporate democrats siding with the other side.
