4 January 2021 December For Immediate Release As fascists converge on DC on January 6, take a stand to sayTrump Lost! Fascists Get Out!Trump’s gangster threats against GA officials & unprecedented attempt to overturn election are fascist and must be opposed!Poster DC / 5:00 pm bang pots & pans, drown out Trump thugs“What we have here is gangster Fascist-in-Chief Donald Trump openly bullying Georgia election officials to ‘find 11,780 votes’ to overturn the state’s results, then threatening them with ‘a criminal offense’ and violence – ‘The people of Georgia are angry’ — if they refused. Meanwhile, he’s gathering supporters in Congress to try to stop the Jan 6 certification and calling on white supremacist mobs to run ‘wild’ and threaten violence in the streets of Washington, DC – all to overturn an election he just lost,” says Carl Dix, a co-initiator of RefuseFascism.org. “On January 6, decent people must take a stand and say, ‘Trump Lost! Fascists Get Out!'” In a statement, Refuse Fascism said: Biden won the Electoral College and the popular vote by more than 7 million. Yet Trump persists with his lunatic claim that he won the election, escalating his attempted coup into a showdown and throwdown on January 6 – the date Congress should follow their constitutional duty and certify Biden’s win. Trump has incited fascist mobs to go “wild” in DC on that day. He has Republican legislators promising to demand the election results be thrown out, and even inquired about the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act to implement martial law. 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. The Democratic Party has downplayed and dismissed this fascist coup attempt, insisting that their coup can’t win so mobilizing against it inside and outside of DC only helps the Trumpites. This goes along with Biden’s insistence on reaching across the aisle in reconciliation. This is a dangerous delusion that normalizes and legitimizes the fascist assault on the elections and fascists rampaging through the streets. It fuels the passivity and acquiescence of the decent people, demobilizing the millions who should be organized to stand up against these outrages. It is criminally complicit to give Trump’s fascist assault space to gain momentum, and 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. |
