I recently made the same points in a comment on Dan Rather‘s most recent essay. American journalism is not giving the people the information they need to understand. We are at war with a domestic enemy of the constitution. Journalism needs to stop acting like it is an observer and understand it is a participant in keeping democracy alive. if history shows journalism merely reported on the end of democracy that will go against everything the founding fathers wanted when they created freedom of the press

I am continuously appalled at the apparent acceptance of fascists in our government .

Why is anyone going along with these fascist leaders?

De Santis is the first to come to mind but there are so many others. As to journalists why in hell are they talking about De Santis as a viable candidate for President in this Country.

He’s a lunatic hating fascist and is turning Florida into the ‘hate state. ‘

Oh I know there are many more where he came from . Trump paved the way for Fascism to become the new Bible of the allegedly ‘Christian’ right.

I agree completely that we need to start calling this what it is .

The College Boards people are an exact example of how this spreads .

They ceased to do their job in educating to the tune of reality and cowered under Desantis and his corruption.

So they now are added to the pile of corruption , fascism, and ignorance that the Republicans feed on.

Pennsylvania. Brooks County exhibiting Fascism. Sandusky, Ohio, every state in this Union have pockets of active fascism .

The only difference will be in how strongly the real freedom people . The Resisters fight against this by refusing to bury their heads in the sand.

Call out Fascism wherever you see it .

Police beating black lives to death . Governors raping the constitution and requiring the cataloguing of the female students menstrual cycles.

Attacks on LGBTQ and transgender people. Attacks on Jews , Muslims .

Allowing guns everywhere . Everywhere . Repealing laws w 50 years of precedent “ because they can”.

Accepting the number one cause of death in this country for children : gunshot deaths.

This is not the America we fought for and long for again . Trump unleashed powerful fascism .

And si far he’s paid no price. Nor have the office holders accompanying him on his fascist mission . Suppression of votes for minorities or anyone more likely to lean Democratic.

We poison poor people w toxic water .

Why do we allow states to bastardize the application of the Constitution of the United States?

Ask the Supreme Court far right fascist judges.
