Communism is like an autoimmune disorder; it doesn’t do the killing itself, but weakens the system so much that the victim is left helpless and unable to fight off anything else. It destroys the human spirit on an individual level, perverting the values of a successful free society.

Trump praised Hitler, has operated concentration camps, is engaged in ethnic cleansing of America, is using troops against innocent citizens, is committing mass murders and acts of war against other countries, and is overthrowing foreign countries. We know where this is going.

Authoritarianism imposes hierarchies; authoritarianism seeks order.
By contrast, fascism is organized around the particular hierarchy of male dominance. The fascist heroic warrior is male. Women are relegated to subservient roles.

30 states are in “very high” bracket for flu.
Stay home if ill, wash hands, wear a mask if you go out, get tested early. Remember, it’s not too late to get the vaccine. Peak flu season is still a few weeks out, so you’ll have time to develop antibodies.

This is the same playbook Trump used with banks & other investors for decades. Get them so deep into your mess that they end up even worse if they allow you to fail. So he argues they have to stick with him or everything will fall apart and be a disaster. Too leveraged to fail.
