Over the course of the past few days the United States has seen large protests from the domestic populace regarding the deployment of paramilitary forces in direct proximity to the domestic populace, inevitably, that has led to the deaths of American nationals. These paramilitary forces are specific to, and indicative of, the US Trump administration. The Trump administration is currently inhabited by a number of fundamentalists all sharing and attempting to enable the ideology of historical fascism through linkage with other nationalist, and equally unpopular, regimes. The ideology of nationalism has taken root inside the United States partly as a reaction to events during the first part of this century within the US, but also as a means of defending the US administration from external criticism from the more capable and ideologically balanced International Community during the recent period.
Over the course of the first and second term of office, the Trump administration in the United States has become increasingly authoritarian, despotic and extreme in its outlook.
The Trump administration approached its office using the utility of nationalism and fervent jingoism, ably assisted and encouraged by various private sector media businesses inside and outside the US.
The ideology of nationalism and, specifically, neo-Nazism has been promoted in the US and elsewhere throughout the recent period by various ‘political’ groups, and has even been encouraged, deliberately or unknowingly, by Government.
