Wish I had an answer. A significant percentage of the population has absolutely no idea what’s going on. They’re either listening to lies or right wing media isn’t reporting on it at all.

Republican voters won’t wake up until consequences bite them on the ass and they find out they’re not covered for ass bites because of their preexisting stupidity. Perhaps we should drop leaflets on them from airplanes to get the message across.

Kind of a big reason why normal human voters should never vote for a Republican again from President all the way down ticket to the local school board. They might not all BE Nazis but they’re all sure ok with being in the same club as Nazis doing Nazi things.

If someone created a literary character as shallow, vindictive, self-absorbed and buffoonish as Trump they would deserve a Nobel. Like a cross between Benito Mussolini and Ignatius J Riley.

I have a voiceover in my head every time I hear a centrist dem referred to as a radical leftist. Ok, it’s basically a laugh track followed by choking noises and a body hitting the floor.

We’ve produced a lot of broken people in this country and the fascists have figured out how to make that a marketable product.

It’s insidious because if you watch one, even if it’s just out of curiosity, the algorithm will keep feeding you similar content. Even smart people can get sucked in basically because insanity can be incredibly entertaining. Hence the popularity of Fox.

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am that my immediate family are all firmly left of center. Extended family, not so much which is why our Thanksgiving’s are mercifully small now. But there’s no arguing with people set in their ways.

Ironically the department the Trump regime would need to monitor & administer compliance and grant determinations would probably be larger than the current DOE. They could call it the Department of Re-Education. The “efficiency” of fascism.

With Fallon it’s hard to be disappointed in someone I had such low expectations from to begin with. The good news is there are a lot of regular people stepping up to meet the moment.
