From today’s PREVAIL piece on American fascism being in its fifth and final phase.
Last May, when I published #RoughBeast, the US was a very different place:

Looks like Trump sold a pardon for a million bucks.
His corrupt pardons have mostly been ignored by the legacy media. The 3rd chapter of #RoughBeast covers this extensively & should make anyone with even a scintilla of belief in the rule of law nauseous.
Time was, this was a bipartisan belief:

Pissed about Trump pardoning the J6 besiegers? Check out the corrupt pardons he issued the 1st time around! What the House GOP said in '01 of Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich applies *exponentially* more to Trump.
I read JUSTICE UNDONE (ch 3 of my book #RoughBeast) for folks who prefer video to print:

A question for @gregolear.bsky.social - I am a 12th grade English teacher. I showed my students your post with a section from your book, #RoughBeast. My students and I want to know if your title is an allusion to Yeats’ poem “The Second Coming.” Please let us know. Thanks.

Text about corrupt pardon Trump gave Kushner pal Ken Kurson.
What’s that, you say? You want to talk about corrupt pardons?
Let me direct you to the third chapter of #RoughBeast, “Justice Undone,” where Trump’s abuse of this power is discussed at length.

Kash Patel threatens revenge, on Bannin podcast.
Kash Patel has openly expressed his plans to “come after” journalists he doesn’t like. He is for retribution, not justice.
This is from my book, #RoughBeast:

Too many voters were cool with the "Who Donald Trump Really Is" part of #RoughBeast, which means that, unfortunately, the "What He'll Do If Re-Elected" chapters are even more exigent.
(Once he takes over, you won't need my help to stan for democracy.)

Trump has been itching for dictatorship for a long time now, as I write extensively in my book #RoughBeast. He tried to end democracy on J6, and he will end it for sure if re-elected.

Well, Trump has recently demonstrated Chapter 1 (he's a liar) and Chapter 2 (he's a crook) of #RoughBeast.
If you want to know what he would do in a second term with his newfound kingly powers, I direct you to Chapters 5-7.

The second chapter of my new book, #RoughBeast, is all about Trump being a lifelong criminal—something the mainstream media's done a piss-poor job telling us about.
It's no coincidence that it's the book's longest chapter.
