My Job Application Essay

For the New American Reich

I’d like to apply for a job in the “New America,” please. I’m not sure what to call it - Fascist America, Gingrich America. But the future after Donald Trump briefly regains the Presidency.

Readers might think, “this is suicide!” looking for a job now in the New America, before the overthrow of the American government and replacement by a tyranny. But it’s not! You want to get your resume in first!

Everybody who wants to know how revolutions happen, has plenty of reference materials to understand them. I’ve got the picture. That’s why I’m applying.

It’s early on in the revolution, but a lot of groundwork has been laid down for years. Newt Gingrich, an eager student of revolutionary history, has slowly bent the United States to his will. His cadre of fellows has grown.

In early November 2022 comes the First Selection for senior officers of the New America. These individuals are the advance guard who will be in place to assist in smoothing way to overthrow in two years. Their motivations are irrelevant, whether they are impassioned believers or secret cynics. They are useful - for now.

Although the candidates in the First Selection are in the game in the hopes to become powerful regional leaders in their states and regions after the New America emerges, they will not. Such lofty imagination is Liberal Democratic thinking left over from the lost premises of Old America. The First Selection leaders will lose their importance very quickly.

These First Selection leaders will be useful only briefly after the revolution. Theirs is not a position of any glory. The Great Leaders in New America’s capital desires these functionaries for the dull duty of installing the bureaucracy and selecting the members critical for every Fascist state - the Eichmanns, the Amtssprachers, who record numbers and averages that detail the movements of humans and their disposal in a dull, reliable and self-admiring office job. Monitoring, surveillance - all those things.

These First Selection leaders recruit and retain local functionaries from their cities and states for the Security Bureaus. The New Leadership needs someone who knows the field in Dubuque, Dallas, Abilene. These First Selection leaders will also know where to go for the Kapo’s, the brutal enforcers. One resource for recruiting kapo’s are the criminal prosecutors. They know these types well. Wardens are most familiar with prisoners in correctional facilities. Some of them can be competent enforcers. Putting together a secret police force in a rush is challenging. You need, on the street level, head-crackers who can take orders. Higher up, you need cunning persons with brains. It’s an HR nightmare!

The Great Leaders look to the First Selection leaders, the regional Gauleiters, for organizational skills, not for political savvy. Dullness of intellect is an asset. Any evidence of political astuteness marks a First Selection leader for liquidation. Any desire for power or show of organizational cunning in New America threatens the Great Leaders.

The Great Leaders desire a cadre of functionaries who understand reality. Having a heretical Liberal background is hardly a threat to the Great Leaders. Many Nazi’s had lengthy pedigrees of supporting free-thinking and liberalism. It’s only how they behave and perform in the New Order of things which matters. They can be discarded as easily as any true believer can be. Kill ten and get one spy, said Stalin, those are good numbers. If you can do this, you can work for a Great Leaders, no matter what sort of decent person you used to be.

Once the bureaucracy is in place, the First Selection leaders will be the first wave selected for the camps. After the loyal bureaucrats are in place, who needs the original puppeteers? They might be hazardous, even one in ten of them.

New America will lurch forward with its Great Leaders, and inevitably, things will not go as the rose-colored glasses show. Look at poor Vladimir Lenin! He tried, he really did, but it went badly. And why do things go badly? Counterrevolutionaries, saboteurs! Certainly not from bad ideas of Vladimir Lenin!!

We start with the first round of Great Leaders. Mr. Donald Trump has shown his hand at organizing things, and they are comically poor. His epithet is “trail of wreckage.” Everything he touches falls apart. His cabal of advisers are misfits.

The early Nazi Party was a similar club of goons and buffoons, and it needed refinement. The Night of the Long Knives came to Ernst Röhm and the SA; it will also come to the MAGA senior command, even to Chief Orange himself. Donald has shown some admirable selfishness, but he doesn’t have the true streak of cruelty needed to stand on top of a Fascist dictatorship. Let him build the mountain, then push him off the cliff. Once admired in the press and in meetings, quickly despised as the wrecker of New America. And some more brutal and terrifying New Leader will have the codes to the nuclear devices.

When the revolution settles down, those who understand Reality will be greatly desired by the New Leader. Those whose prominence in the New America only stems from enthusiasm and loyalty to the former Orange Leader, one might expect that they will be eternally cherished at the highest level. History shows that they are not. They are ultimately discarded. They are unable to contribute anything but ecstatic cheers. They think the revolution owes its success to them; and truly, it may have arisen from their efforts. Their sale-by date is past; their continued presence is unnecessary and unwanted. Red hats will not save them.

But I understand Reality. I won’t bite the hand that feeds me, for it is all too easy to crush anyone who looks like a suspicious threat to the New Leader. That’s not me! In the Republic of Old America, such phrases as “land of the free and home of the brave” were spoken of loudly, where anyone could hear. Soon, being considered a coward is a mark of a survivor. Whisper things, don’t shout. In fact, don’t say them at all. You will be reported.

So this election is mighty important. It will unmask the First Selection leaders, the Reichamtführers in the various states who can be called upon to serve the revolution into New America. If the Revolution does not go as planned, and Liberal Democracy prevails, the next generation of Fascists will be unmasked, which is regrettable. Fascism might be pushed back fifty years or so.

Consider the significance of your vote.
