When some leading thinkers at the London School of Economics saw fascism take hold in the 1930s, Oxford history professor Ben Jackson said in a recent BBC interview, they “argued that in those circumstances the people with economic power in society, the property owners, are willing to cancel democracy, cancel civil liberties, and make deals with political organizations like the Nazis if it guarantees their economic interest.”

The Ohio Senate passed a bill on Wednesday prohibiting transgender students – kindergarten through college, at both private and public schools – from using multi-person restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their gender identity.

The vote on SB 104, which in a particularly dark turn occurred during Transgender Awareness Week, passed 24-7 along party lines and now heads to Gov. Mike DeWine for his signature.

The trans bathroom ban originated as HB 183, which its Republican sponsors named the “Protect All Students Act.” But on June 26, Ohio House Republicans tacked HB 183 onto SB 104 at the very end of a nearly 12-hour session. By amending a bill that originated in the Senate and had already been approved by that body, House Republicans circumvented the normal legislative process, in which HB 183 would have to be heard through Senate committee hearings. 

“America is for Americans – Americans only!”

The words are those of Stephen Miller, speaking last month at the infamous Madison Square Garden rally, but they define Donald Trump. This is the message – the cry from the mountaintop – he brought to the country . . . at least to approximately half of it. It’s the unifying force behind his campaign, both pragmatically and spiritually. It transcends politics and cuts to people’s deepest values and deepest fears.

It’s why he won: Donald the Outsider, standing up to the Washington status quo, opening the doors of the American government and letting its citizens flow in (legally this time, without breaking doors and windows). America is for Americans – sieg heil!
