2 January 2021 December For Immediate Release In DC and everywhere, break the silence and spread the truth:Trump Calling on GOP, Fascist Mobs to Stop January 6 Election CertificationJoin in saying: TRUMP LOST! FASCISTS GET OUT!“Trump’s unprecedented attempt to overturn the election is fascist and must be opposed!” states Coco Das of the RefuseFascism.org Editorial Board. In a statement released today, Refuse Fascism said: Members of Congress and the Senate are joining him in obstructing the January 6 certification of Joe Biden as the clear winner of the election. And Trump has called his followers – the same thugs who vandalized Black churches and assaulted bystanders on December 12 – back to DC for a “wild” rally on January 6. Trump calls it a protest, but let’s call it what it really is – a NAZI rally filled with white supremacist “grievances” and dangerous verbal attacks on his political enemies, emboldening his base to “fight for Trump” with threats and acts of violence. This is unprecedented behavior for a sitting president. It has disrupted the peaceful transition of power, “legitimized’’ the lie of a stolen election in the eyes of many millions of Trump’s supporters, and mobilized white supremacist MAGA mobs to rampage, terrorize, and intimidate anyone who stands in their way. With these maneuvers, Trump and his goons have seized the initiative, dominating the airwaves, normalizing fascist lies, and setting the terms…in the halls of power and in the streets. In the midst of all this, Trump is escalating the threat of military aggression against Iran and COVID deaths are raging out of control. Whether or not Trump succeeds in overturning this election, his fascist movement is succeeding in tearing up the norms of government and growing a battle-hardened base determined to fight forward. It is a profound problem for humanity that the millions who rightly voted against Trump have been silent in the face of this. Transforming this dangerous situation must begin now – through creative and visible forms of opposition that break down our isolation and passivity and build our strength for the enormous struggle ahead. These fascists will not just fade away on their own. As fascists converge on DC, join others to say Trump Lost! Fascists Get Out! Put these posters in your windows and around town and spread this message on social media. Saturate the streets with art and statements of love and solidarity for all those who are under the gun and targets of this hateful regime. At 5:00 pm in DC, bang pots and pans to drown out the fascist voices descending on their city. We also call on organizations and individuals to reach out to us with your ideas, your fears and questions, your plans and your willingness to dialogue and work together on transforming this situation. Acting together to stop a fascist America is still our urgent call, not for ourselves alone but for all of humanity.
