Jesus,Mary and Joseph.

My mothers refrain whenever she heard something that had seemed impossible just the day before.

Thank you again Thom, for the plain unvarnished and horrible truth.

We’ve all tried to look away and pretend that democracy somehow will continue , in spite of the obvious routine attacks on any politics that are ‘ for the people’ .

The clear and all present “In your face “lies and hate from the Right and their trumped up leaders.

Note that the Supreme Court already on track to change and refute democratic process in their shady rulings.

And the bald corruption of their far right members ignoring a request by Congress to attend a discussion regarding their ethnic collapse.

If you think this is just coincidence, you are wrong.

Your point , Thom , about referring to Republicans as friends is over.

Biden needs to see this clearly and act accordingly.

The days of dealing with these monsters in a super cordial means has no effect on these crazies.

Look at Marjorie Taylor Greene who would elevate rumors re private citizens to a peep show and inform the world of her ignorance, which is only superseded by her desire for attention , no matter how crass her act.

She’s a poster child for ugliness in Congress along with the others who lie and falsely accuse anyone they don’t agree with .

Their hatred knows no bounds.

The days of “ going high when they go low”, do not apply to this group, bereft of their souls and hiding behind their lie label of ‘Christians’.

We need to continually expose these terrorists.

This is not the time to lay low .

Call out every abomination that you see , loudly and clearly.

Gradually then suddenly. If you want an image for this, and how fascism comes, here's one I first used in 2012: "Fascism is like a cat stalking a bird in your back yard: It creeps, it creeps, it creeps ... and then, WHOMP, IT SPRINGS!" That's what Thom is describing here. We have to recognize this to stop the cat and save the bird, and it has to be before the SPRING.
