Remember, before 1933, people laughed at the nazis, too.

It seems that most Americans hide from transparency. They want illusion, a shining city populated by heroes.

Show them reality, and they will blame you for upsetting their happy little myths. But they will never, never abandon their Trumps, their Pritzkers, their gleaming self-deceptions.

As Illinois state troopers attack peaceful protestors, Pritzker talks and talks and talks and talks about "accountability"... you know, someday. Maybe. Perhaps. In some hypothetical future.

Lousy corporate Democrat slug.

When asked if she felt responsible for the brutal deaths of 650,000 ICE agents in a recent McDonald's fire, she replied, "No comment, but yes. Yes, I do. Hail FDR!"

Her execution will be televised on all Disney-affiliated channels.
