It's been said many times, many ways: the fascists thought winning an election would mean winning the culture, and the fact that hasn't happened is making them rabid.

My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it.
The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?"
"An obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"This one will be."

So many hundreds of thousands of words of ink, so many countless hours wasted, explaining how this man was secretly savvy, and it turns out he’s just dumb as a rock, clueless about basic economics, and driven by a malicious paranoia that conniving foreigners are ripping us off
Trump: "I spoke to a lot of leaders -- European, Asian, from all over the world. They are dying to make a deal, but I said 'we're not gonna have deficits with your country' ... to me a deficit is a loss. We're gonna have surpluses or at worst we're gonna be breaking even."

Been all over the world but finally getting to spend a couple of weeks in Japan. Big bucket get for me! Looking forward to getting away from the US media drone for a time.

Jeff Bezos is worth $204.3 billion -- and even he's afraid of what a Trump dictatorship could bring.
Money and privilege won't buy you safety from fascism.
But you can still resist and prevent it, right now.
VOTE.
