When Fascism Comes To America, It Will Be Wrapped in the Flag and Carrying a Cross
As Americans, we like to think that we would do the right thing when faced with fascism. In reality, we will likely fail at even recognizing it when it happens

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

Donald Trump recently pardoned Juan Hernández -- the former president of Honduras -- who was convicted in the United States of a vast drug-trafficking conspiracy that prosecutors said raked in millions. Is he really fighting the cartels ... Or is his interest in controlling them to his own benefit?

The enemies of democracy are at our doorstep
We all need to resist fascism in any form because history carries a poignant and clear lesson about what will happen if fascism is allowed to propagate

The Trump administration has successfully eviscerated the 1st Amendment and consolidated power in the Executive Branch, with uncanny similarity to what happened in the 1930’s with Hitler, Mussolini and Franco.
