The Lost Dreams Of Alfred Muggins In The New Reich by Alfred N.Muggins

18/2/26
    Alfred decided (in a dream, of all places, that it was time to pay Trumpenstein back for all the mental, and sociological, political and economic anguish he was causing him.) He would for once grow some balls, and a spine, and start to follow the Trumpenstein playbook a bit more, as a way of getting his own back on the man who was ruining American (and European! civilisation, and had actually ruined (and in some cases already destroyed!) the lives of many thousands of immigrants, documented as well as undocumented, and even American citizens, not to forget to mention all the people, including many children who lost their USAID food and health support programmes in foreign countries etc, and recent (since Biden's bow out) Gaza/Palestine victims attributable to the regime's loss of responsibility towards managing/supervising Israel's behaviour.
     Anyway Alfred digressed, as usual. The point was, he would take out a law suit, in the US, or the UK probably, against the 'monster' for the immense damage done to his own mental health, sense of security, and his hopes for the future.
    He had been toying with the idea of sending a script or two to the American film companies via talent agents, when Trumpenstein miraculously was able to get reelected to the Presidency, despite his long list of personal failings, his long list of previous misdemeanors, his many business failures, and his very lacklustre performance as President the last time around (in January 2017 - January 2021), in which he managed to worsen the public deficit quite drammatically! Anyway it seemed all was forgiven from the notoriously short memoried, and seriously lacking detailed knowledge, or judgement, Average Joe American voter (and his wife, or daughter, or sister!).
    You never know, Hollywood might just have eventually made him famous, by publishing some of his writings in film form. He could really have set the ball rolling! But what actually happened?
    You guessed it! Trumpenstein went and actually won in the November 2024 election! (Well it is actually believed by many of the more sane, and informed (and least brainwashed!) amongst us that the November 2024 election was 'fixed' in the 'swing' states at least by false Republican votes and disappeared Democrat votes, to make it appear fairly close but a definite Republican win in all these places. Some of this has apparently now been proved, and some of it remains highly likely conjecture!)
     So after being given the keys (and the codes!) to the Presidential office by the oh so dutiful (and Constitutional!) Democrats, led by kind but sleepy Joe Biden, an eighty year old veteran of politics, ready for retirement, Trumpenstein proceeded to rip up every constitutional safeguard for the American Republic and its people!
      Suddenly, quite soon after Trump's ascendancy, it became no longer safe for brave opponents of Trumpenstein and his Rethuglican power structure to go through American airports, as he instructed the Department of Homeland Security to question tourists and foreigners and, in many cases, to inspect their mobile phone content and histories for evidence of criticism of the new Leader. People who they suddenly judged undesirable could be detained, often for a couple of nights or just hours, and not allowed to stay. Woe betide anyone who's passport or visa was not correct. They could be detained for many days before deportation. Even multiple Canadians and even Europeans could fall victim to this kind of loss of liberty, and no appeal, even to the Statue of Liberty, would have any mercy in it.
     Naturally Alfred's own tendency towards cowardice and an easy life led him now to distrust the new American regime's benevolence. He wasn't about to volunteer to put America's new regime to the decency and humaneness test, which he thought might be a risky thing to do do right now. Even European tourists with visas, and even friendly Canadians, had been detained and ejected (deported) after a being roughed up and imprisoned  without trial if their social media footprints were deemed unacceptable to the new fascistic thought police regime, and if their visas were not in order the treatment would be far worse and longer.

     Alfred's own Facebook activism alone, particularly over the last year, now made it quite dangerous to go anywhere near that once Great nation, which had so dutifully caved in to the demands of the crazy new leader's heel. He didn't want to end up having his phone confiscated, copied, and information shared potentially with whatever equivalents of ICE might eventiually be developed even in still democratic UK. He didn't want to risk spending the rest of his (probably not so long life, if that ever happened!) in one of America's spanking new detention centres, which the Israeli/Zionist or Russian/Putin serving billionaire interests were buying up and creating all over America, ready to fill them with unfortunates, of whichever type the new regime wanted to pick on.
      Alfred was conscious , and very disappointed that Trumpenstein and his regime had deprived him of the chance to take his scripts and writings over to Hollywood, to see if he could get some of them made into films or series, or to have them published in some way. just as the invites to try that sort of attempt came in America had vigorously lurched itself further to the right, and had managed to derail itself even from reliable democracy and prosperity, and from the much vaunted freedoms, they had been upholding for so many decades, or centuries, previously. It was just his luck! unfortunately, and he found himself developing a significant grudge, if not even a huge chip on his shoulder, for what Trumpenstein and his gang were doing to his potential opportunities and his rightful future career. Like many, he imagined, his dreams and ambitions were being subserviated to the whims and evils of the new conservatively motivated authoritarian regime. Amazingly film producers and writers still seemed to be working in and around Hollywood, in what had for so long been the centre of creative expression and compassion. Apparently the oscars were still going ahead, even as the Rethuglican (ex Republican) Party (RIP) tried to rip up school history books and even works of profound literary talent and foresight as they tried to rewrite history and knowledge in their own ignorant image!
    It occurred to him also that even legal cases against Trumpenstein would be difficult to begin if he didn't even dare set foot in the land of litigation. perhaps it would be better not to risk the direct ire of Trumpenstein by opening a legal case over his lost opportunities. Trumpenstein would only surely put him on lists and embarass him in public with unfounded allegations and lies, and threaten him with countersuits for large sums of money which he didn't have. If he could stay beneath the greedy ogre's attention scans he would surely be a lot safer, if not legally satisfied! Look how the fearsome whiner had treated the BBC when it merely tried to report the truth of his attempts to overturn the previous election results of November 2020, with his violent and unconstitutional attempted insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th 2021, when he tried at all costs to avoid having to hand over power to the duly elected unassuming, constitutionally proper, and ageing Democrat, Joe Biden.
