We usually watch Rachel Maddow each night for an honesty summary of another day in trump’s Fascist U.S. She often starts out with something positive – clips of protests all over the country. Some of the largest are those drawn by Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman AOC. Just take a look at the You Tube & you can see why.
From the positive notes like this, Rachel then reports on the depressing facts: that the fascist admin is ignoring court orders, destroying agencies so quickly it’s difficult to keep up, and demanding that universities be turned over to the administration. In essence, that’s a much larger version of what Florida’s governor DeSantis did to the liberal New College of Florida – fired the trustees and basically took it over and turned it into a religious college.
She also discussed the dismantling of the Social Security Administration, where recipients are being declared dead when they are very much alive. Once you’re declared dead by social security, you probably wish it was true because you lose access to your bank accounts, health care, credit, and just about everything else you need to live. Dismantling an agency from the inside out seems to be this regime’s favorite thing to do, get those DOGE boys in there messing with computers and no telling what horrors you may see.
I’ve asked psychics and other astrologers where they see all this going. During orange monster’s first term, I discovered I couldn’t read his chart objectively. So yesterday I emailed asteroid astrologer Alex Miller what he saw astrologically related to trump. Every day it’s worse and more appalling. Who’s going to stop this orange monster?
Alex’s response: I’ve given up on predicting what this idiot will do, or how things will turn out. so many times it seems like ‘this is it!’ and then nothing happens. sorry, but i have no guidance to offer in this matter.
So here we are. Trump is deporting people without due process, says he’d like to deport Americans, too, & it’s like the history books I read about Hitler and the SS… about every Fascist regime anywhere on the planet at any point in history.

Sometimes a synchronicity takes a century to manifest. That’s the case with the one between The Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 and the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Both were attempts to disrupt the established democratic processes of their respective nations. While they occurred in different historical and political contexts, they share notable similarities and differences.
Likewise, there is a related synchronicity between what happened to democracy in the months after Hitler took power and when Trump assumed the presidency for his second term.
I thought it would be interesting to let AI make the comparisons. So I asked Chat GPT to analyze these events. Here is the response:
Beer Hall Putsch (1923):
On November 8–9, 1923, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, along with General Erich Ludendorff, attempted to overthrow the Weimar Republic by initiating an insurrection in Munich, Germany. They aimed to seize control of the Bavarian government and ultimately march on Berlin to establish a nationalist regime. The coup began at a beer hall, where they declared a national revolution. However, the putsch failed when police forces clashed with the Nazis, leading to several deaths and the arrest of key leaders, including Hitler. Hitler was subsequently convicted of treason and sentenced to prison, during which he authored “Mein Kampf.” HISTORY+5Encyclopedia Britannica+5Origins+5Origins+1the peper perspective+1
January 6 U.S. Capitol Attack (2021):
On January 6, 2021, supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to prevent the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory. This followed a rally where Trump reiterated unfounded claims of election fraud and encouraged his followers to “fight like hell.” The rioters breached police barricades, vandalized property, and forced the evacuation of members of Congress. The attack resulted in multiple injuries and deaths, including law enforcement officers. In the aftermath, numerous individuals were arrested and charged, and Trump was impeached for incitement of insurrection, though he was later acquitted by the Senate.

Comparative Analysis:
Now turning to the comparative attacks on democracy. Again, I asked Chat GPT to make the comparisons.
Hitler’s Consolidation of Power in 1933:
Upon his appointment as Chancellor on January 30, 1933, Hitler swiftly moved to consolidate power and dismantle Germany’s democratic structures:
Trump’s Actions in Early 2025:
In the initial months of his second term beginning January 20, 2025, President Trump undertook measures that raised concerns about democratic norms:AP News+2Wikipedia+2PwC+2
Comparative Analysis:
While both leaders sought to centralize authority and diminish checks on their power early in their terms, the effectiveness and speed of their actions were influenced by the strength and responsiveness of existing democratic institutions and the broader political culture.
Canadian author Margaret Atwood published her classic Dystopian novel in 1985. I think I read it when I was pregnant with our daughter, Megan, around 1989. I was horrified as I read it in a couple of days and comforted myself by believing now that someone had written this terrifying novel, it would never happen in real life.
Now, 40 years after it was published, the book stands out as an example of an author who saw the future, the world where we now find ourselves. Except this version we’re living is worse than anything Atwood envisioned.
Atwood captured the sexism, the idea of women as tools for men to use however they want, women as slaves to male patriarchy in all its disgusting nuances.But she didn’t capture the utter chaos and cruelty of what happens when a democracy is turned inside out by an administration that has no idea what the hell it’s doing or why. It’s as if a bunch of wild, untamed, uncivilized human beings have been unleashed on the country and the world.
While they’re cackling away in D.C., congratulating themselves on how well they’ve cut waste in the U.S. government – how many thousands of federal workers have been fired to date? – children worldwide who depended on USAID are starving, dying. The elderly and disabled are getting robbed blind. Schools and universities are losing critical funding for students, scientists, research. That’s just the surface of things.
Hurricane season begins on June 1. But with NOAA on the cutting block, many of its workers fired, who is going to track the storms this season? Trump, with his sharpie pen? With the CDC shrinking and RFK Jr. in charge of health & human services, measles are spreading, kids are dying from too much vitamin A and cod liver oil that the man with ZERO medical experience is advocating.
The stock market is tanking. Books are being banned. The Department of Education has been obliterated. This points to one of their goals: make the population stupid so they’ll believe anything we tell them.
So here we are, well beyond the Dystopia that Margaret Atwood wrote about. Yet, there are still people who are applauding for Trump.
A retired attorney: Trump’s intentions are good.
A retired physician: He won’t touch Social Security. We paid into it.
A brainwashed neighbor, after being told that ICE was in the neighborhood, trying to round up Mexican immigrants who work in the equestrian industry: Trump’s doing great.
A Jewish woman I’ve known for 50 years told me she was voting for trump and when I pointed out that he hates Jews, Latinos, people of color, women, anyone who isn’t a white guy, her response was: it’s the border.
“Have you been to the border?” I asked her.
“Well, no, but on Fox News…”
And right then, I knew that nothing I said would change her mind. Right then, I knew tht 50 years had been swept away.
Well, , the retro is done.
I had a lot of computer glitches.
I jotted down the wrong date for Nigel’s appointment with the vet and ended up waiting quite a while while he paced and became increasingly agitated about being there at all.
I had terrible ups and downs about what orange man and his nutty cronies are doing to democracy. I’ve cheered every time I read or heard about a judge blocking some stupid order he issued. I raged when I read about ICE grabbing people off the street, students with visas.
I kept thinking about people I know who voted for this monster. Any regrets yet?Probably not. I’m sure Fox news is assuring you everything is just fine, this is all part of orange man’s genius plan to make America great again.
I wonder about the commercial pilot who, during trump’s first administration, called me evil for hoping he would be indicted. Is he pleased that so many FAA air traffic controllers have been fired? Are he and his wife pleased that when they walk into Publix, prices are higher than the last time they shopped? Or are they still cheering this guy and driving out to Palm Beach Airport to breathlessly watching trump’s plane land?
No telling. We no longer speak.
But hey, on April 7, Mercury turned direct in water sign Pisces. Two days before that happened, we went to a Hands Off! protest – peaceful, uplifting, 1000-2000 people. Maybe that portends something positive lies ahead!

This protest was terrific. There were 500-700 people, no trumpies anywhere and it was so peaceful that the six cops who were there left after awhile.
This sign pretty much says it all!
MY SIGN FOR THE HANDS OFF PROTEST ON SATURDAY.
The Secrets of Spirit Communication was bought by Llewellyn in 2018, went out of print this year, so we’ve updated and added new material in order to publish on Amazon. But we needed a new cover and this is the one Megan did. I love it! I had asked her for the hummingbirds because of an experience I had shortly after my sister, Mary, died.
Thank you, Megger!
The book will go up after 4/7, when Mercury will be direct Finally.
