Another great "report," Thom, as we continue to circle the fascistic / authoritarian drain....but when & how do we do a "super flush"...eh? You are quite right that fascism in various degrees and forms is a phenomenon around the world in human societies--so it's obviously a human-created problem...yeh?

What I see is that roughly half of the USA base their lives on real-life EVIDENCE...while the other half don't...and therefore live in a fantasyland of their own liking. That half LIKED Donald Trump because he unleashed their childish, self-obsessed frustrations and desire for unlimited, unrestrained POWER.

I am still seeking some leverage point to change minds but so far I have found none. I gather you have not either, yeh? The only way to stop such idiots in the past has been to either lock them up or defeat them on the battle field. I am not encouraged with what Rachel Maddow revealed in her "ULTRA" podcast that the DOJ was completely ineffective in holding any of the Hitler backers--in Congress or out--accountable for their overt actions to undermine & destroy our democracy during WWII. I think Ari Melber (MSNBC) did a great job of pointing out yesterday that apparently Peru & Germany know how to quickly respond to attempts to overturn their democracies...whereas after two years we have not even so much as charged any of the top coup-plotters with their in-plain-sight crimes against our democracy...and in many cases violations of their oath of office to uphold our Constitution. It is all so blatant and obvious to most of us. I am kind of holding my breath to see if special counsel Jack Smith really takes action against the coup leader, Donal J. Trump, and ALL of his co-conspirators. I have given up on AG Merrick Garland. After 2 years the DOJ is still waiting to get info / data / evidence from the Jan. 6th Committee ! Really? The DOJ has far superior power to get evidence, to compel testimony, or prosecute those who refuse. We all know this. The only choice I see before us is to either prosecute the coup plotters or prepare for another Civil War in some form. Do you have alternatives, Thom? Or anyone ?
