That was like drinking from a firehose. Each sentence in today’s blog is a bumper-sticker slogan for November, and an entire subject of research unto itself. Sit up and pay attention. The good citizens need to shift to a war mood and fight back against ubiquitous lies, using truth, not guns, as their weapon, if they expect democracy to survive. It is time to think like Ukrainians.

Republican big government has been America’s number-one problem all along, not big government per se, which naturally must expand to match an expanding population. Not only are Republicans (and word-salad trolls exhaling logical fallacies with every breath) arguing the opposite — that it’s the DEMOCRATS, DEMOCRATS, DEMOCRATS (always) — their entire premise that the size of government, rather than the purpose, is the fundamental problem society faces is false and duplicitous and laughable on every level.

Fascists (Let’s use Woody Guthrie’s word.) have only changed the name of their party over the centuries. Their arrogant, self-righteous, selfish attitudes, which they cannot hide, remain the same. In fact, one could reasonably extrapolate that lusting after wealth and power while stripping innocent workers, families, and children of their wealth and health, indeed their lives, has been the world’s number-one problem from the inception of the “thinking ape” with a dick for a brain and two hands that can’t find his ass but can wield a weapon just fine.

Evolution stopped long ago for fascists. Everything else is just a sorry excuse.

That the traitorous seditionists are not in front of a grand jury answering questions is flat out stupid. We are in uncharted territory, and Garland seems to think this is 1972. Trump is a mafia don for all intents and purposes. The crime family known as Republicans gaslight the public trying to make them think that their crimes are really not crimes at all. But we are living in a country where I saw yard signs like this in a Florida yard, “Vote Republican. We may not be perfect, but the other side is insane,” “Please put your Biden signs up in your own yard, so the government will know which houses don’t have guns.” My personal favorite on the lovely wrought iron gate “Beware of crazy woman with guns and dogs!”
