With Americans how having witnessed an unarmed Minnesota mom shot in the head 3 times, a photo of how the first regime called "fascist" ended may be less shocking than Mussolini's words:
"Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”

The Washington National Opera is leaving the Kennedy Center after 55 years of performing there due to the orange felon’s literal trashing of the arts.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
