Songs 🎶 in the Key of Fascism (and Fertility)
Silence is no longer an option.

Another YankoBoop dispatch from WAG Team HQ.
If you've been following my rapid descent into despair via musical theater — good news. I finished four of these gems this week, and here they are. Everything you’d want in your YankoBoops (and more): sperm incubators, pearl-clutching senators, fascist hotline menus, and kids deported in their Winnie-the-Pooh hoodies.
You know.
‘Murrica since January 20, 2025.
This post started off as a short(ish) list of things I could do on January 19, 2025 that I cannot do today. It was so depressing, I turned to several of jamz I’d been cooking up, and I finished ‘em. So here they are.
🧬 Spermies of the Month Club
A barbershop anthem ‘bout billionaire pantloads (one in particular) who want to repopulate Mars with their s0-much-winNing genes.
This ditty captures all the joy and nuance of Elon’s eugenics-themed dating service. Inspired by real news about unsolicited DM proposals, surrogacy NDAs, and this most tragically un-likable dood’s plan to “reach legion-level before the apocalypse.”
Here it is. Right here.

Lisa Murkowski live from Terminal B, softly panicking while the Constitution burns.
Here it is. Play it. Then send it to your senator.
Here it is, straight from the horselet’s mouth. See for yourself.
Anchorage Daily News - U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski on responding to fear and anxiety after Trump administration actions
While we’re discussing feckless Republicans…
Here’s one from a bit ago (way back in February? Whenever the Gulf of America nonsense started).
Gulf of Maine-ingless Gestures
Here’s the tune. You know the drill.
Remember how during the campaign so many MAGATs (especially the 3-fers) were ranting and raving about Kamala’s grave failure to give enough press conferences?
CBS 13 News - Maine protesters call out Sen. Collins for not holding a town hall in 25 years
And yet they keep electing her.
And then she Susans us all. Over and over and over.
Sigh. It’s time to call it a night. Back to Murcowerski.
🧠 Thoughts, Prayers, and Airport Stares
The saddest one. When the Senate’s empathy becomes aesthetic — while fascists load kids onto planes.
Play me.
See fer yerself.
The Bulwark - Murkowski Says She’s Scared. Tim Says QUIT the GOP and Join the Fight!
So, yeah.
They’re deporting 9-year-olds.
Aaand (oops) hot-mic planning “5 more CECOTs.”

A Little Parallelly? Maybe? Ya Think?
🕰️ How Long Did It Take Hitler to Consolidate Power?
Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. From there, here’s the timeline of his swift (the swiftest!) authoritarian consolidation:
February 27, 1933 – Reichstag Fire, used as pretext to suspend civil liberties.
February 28, 1933 – Reichstag Fire Decree issued: mass arrests, censorship, elimination of opposition.
March 23, 1933 – Enabling Act passed, allowing Hitler to rule by decree — effectively ending democracy in Germany.
July 14, 1933 – Nazi Party declared the only legal political party.
👉 TOTAL TIME: ~6 months from chancellor appointment to one-party dictatorship.
🇺🇸 How Long Has Trump Been in Office (Again)?
Trump was re-inaugurated on January 20, 2025.
As of April 17, 2025, that’s 88 days into his second term — just under 3 months.
⚖️ Comparison:
We are halfway through Hitler’s six-month consolidation period — and we’ve already seen:
Disregard for Supreme Court orders (e.g., Kilmar Abrego Garcia case)
Political retaliation openly discussed (Lisa Murkowski’s “we are all afraid” remarks)
Expansion of detention infrastructure abroad (Trump’s hot mic: “build five more [CECOTs]”)
Increased deportations and rollback of legal protections, even in schools
Cult-like rhetoric about “legions” and fertility strategies from allied billionaires
🧨
Hitler took six months. We’re at month three.
The ovens don’t need to be hot yet for the fascism to be fully cooked.
We’re not early. We’re right on time to stop it — if we move.
By “we” I mean WE.
I’m sure some of my jokes were inspired by Tiedrich, whose Substack I highly highly highly recommend.
Fabulous! Maybe all we have right now is humor and sarcasm. I do what I can as a retired physician/psychiatrist, including analyzing Our Mad King (wannabe) Donald the 1st's obvious mental instability on "Greeley'sNewsletter.substack.com" and elsewhere on the net. Apparently, nobody out here speaks psychiatricese, as I almost never get affirmative feedback. F**k it! I'll just keep trying, as it explains why he's behaving as he is: Fascismo, a combination of machismo and fascism. I knew this would be the outcome when the Congress/DOJ/FBI/AG let the leader of the insurrection walk away back down to his alternative WH and continue to rule over Congress, as if he were the precedent. Biden failed miserably, and you hit the nail on the head: they're ALL terrified of his MAGAT militia, especially after their up close and personal near fatal escape on Jan. 6, 2021. When I shared my analysis with "Jack Smith" on Meta, I got a "like" but nothing else. I can't blame him for being careful, can you? So, thanks for the humorous interlude and the Stevie Wonder! Have a blessed day and know that you/we are not alone.
