Thom, once again your post offers truths that too many Americans refuse to acknowledge; that democracy is at the cliff's edge, and fascism rears its ugly head more and more every day. It's so much easier to go about everyday life telling oneself "fascism could not happen here". But it can and it will unless we, the people fighting the good fight, remain ever vigilant and never, ever give up on our belief in a democratic America.
I am trying to help my children and grands understand this! They tell me that it can’t happen here……
they say we have too many guns in this country and we won’t let it happen. They didn’t think it would happen in Germany either. They don’t understand the subtlety that the Fascists employ until suddenly they are in control. Hungary with Victor Orban is the latest clear cut example.
My Mom was a first-born American Jew who always worried that America would fall into the hands of Nazi sympathizers. My brother is a Holocaust scholar and professor who spent his career teaching that this COULD happen in America. He's retired now, stunned and so sad at watching hitler's playbook come to life in America, abetted by Putin and a corporate media that is run by how many "clicks" an article or faux news generates.
Jane tell your children that the guns are in the hands of the people that will make it happen. Sinclair wrote a book in the 1930's, It Can't Happen Here". he was wrong"

The actions of congressional cult members, people who took an oath to defend our constitution, are both infuriating and frightening. Jackson and Jordan on the Intelligence Committee? MTG spewing her vile, evil hatred from the House floor? A complicit mainstream media, both print and electronic making our job ever harder, while billionaires conspireto return the 🟠💩 to the White House for monetary gains. None of this bodes well for November, does it?
We won't give up nor will we give in to threats of violence and civil unrest.
