Refuse Fascism Coco Das on Trump: ‘driving out this regime is the greatest moral obligation we have’
The Refuse Fascism group issued this statement to rally the left against President Trump and express outrage over their changes to immigration policy.
Full statement:
The Trump/Pence regime’s plan to remove any limit on how long families with children will be detained by the government while their asylum claims are heard means many thousands will be held in hellish conditions indefinitely. Trump says he will end “birthright citizenship” for children of immigrants, gutting the 14th Amendment.
If this isn’t fascist, what is?
Coco Das, writing on RefuseFascism.org, says driving out this regime is “the greatest moral obligation we have,” and calls the regime’s actions “an ethnic cleansing of Latino immigrants and citizens, waged by the Trump/Pence regime and its many soldiers, from government agents in ICE and Border Patrol to young white supremacist men who are willing to follow the marching orders of a whole fascist movement, fed and strengthened by Trump’s immigrant bashing at Nazi rally after Nazi rally.
“It is not enough to hate this fascist regime; we have to drive it out. This American fascism will not be stopped painlessly, but it can be knocked off the tracks sooner than we can imagine with the right demand – that the Trump/Pence regime must go now – and millions in the streets in non-violent protest day after day, refusing to back down until their demand is met.
“Right now, everyone standing aside and waiting for 2020, or thinking they can stop these horrors one at a time, are asking the most vulnerable to bear the pain of this regime’s fascism. To sacrifice their lives so that too many ‘good Americans’ don’t have to sacrifice their comfort.
”No more sacrificing our immigrant brothers and sisters to these crimes! No more sitting back and begging politicians to ‘do something!’ The politicians are either part of the fascist GOP or part of the Democratic Party, which is funding and enabling this fascist regime, collaborating with it – while giving empty lip-service to ‘holding Trump accountable’ and ‘impeaching Trump at the ballot box’ – and having no way of actually stopping this fascist terror.”
