“… Witkoff’s motives matter less than the consequences of his actions. Neither he, nor Trump, nor J.D. Vance seem to realize that by offering favors to Russia, and by insisting, against the evidence, that Ukraine is about to collapse, they are prolonging the war.”

Truth Is Rising Again
When the lies collapse, voters don’t whisper; they revolt. From small suburbs to the big cities, the truth is finally rising, drowning out the GOP fearmongering that once held this country hostage.

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

To be clear: D senators trusting R senators who promise a vote on ACA subsidies at some future point is nothing more that a liar convincing a sucker. A sucker for believing the lie, and for believing that Johnson will ever bring it up in the House.
