There's a LOT of this here right now.  Proud of Chicago.  But it's not all wins.  Gym owner told me his construction client lost over half his workers to ICE and another client, a restaurant owner, lost over half his as well.  They're also attacking uber drivers at ORD - at times literally attacking them if they don't comply.  I won't post that bullshit, too infuriating to look at again.

A litmus test to see if you should continue the relationship.

I am wary of polls, but they're pretty consistent in showing president Miller's spastic fascism isn't going over well. I forget what podcast it was but have little trouble believing there's really only 20 percent of fucked-up Americans who are actually getting off on brazen fascism.

From the comments 

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” – Diary of Anne Frank, January 13, 1943

Even if that's true, an additional 20%--who probably would be bothered by blatant fascism--won't trust a single story, video, or firsthand account that doesn't come from their preferred "news" sources. They could witness it themselves; if there's not a Fox News reporter detailing the events, it didn't happen.

Then another 20% who has no fucking idea what's going on ever.

This. I could show my MIL all the videos I want, but if it isn’t reported on Fox, none of it is real to her.

Again, the vast majority of Americans have zero idea this is going on.

I know it’s easy to be cynical, but MOST people do not approve of this shit.

Republicans are giving Democrats a prime opportunity to turn public opinion against the party.  It’s up to Democrats to figure out how to get this stuff into the mainstream.

You mean like tossing chuck schumer on stage for a c span presser so he test out his latest Kentucky French fries material that absolutely slaps?

Why are we allowing this to happen?

because "we" either largely don't know it's going on or "we" are cheering it on. everyone else seems to be sounding the alarm - to each other

history repeating itself over and over. the psychology of man remains the same while only the tools are refreshed. 

this era reminds me so much of everything I've read about the years leading up to the great war.

fascinating yet disturbing.

Yeah, but I already know they'd support this.  They fell hard for "They come here and kill white girls like that one what's-her-name."

Also, I've pretty much ended all of those friendships since Charlie Kirk died and became a martyr to them.  Imagine being a 50-year-old and falling for that bullshit shtick, and ignoring or not seeing the racism.  No, life is too short to keep knowing those people.

It only took millions of German deaths during ww2 to turn that country around....

Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.

That Charlie Kirk poster is fucking disgusting.

His lower half is missing and where his body cuts off the edges are jagged and black. When the banner starts blowing in the wind it makes him look like a Gayla Bat Kite.

Call it what it is: a Nazi rally.

I really wish people would quit calling them Nazis.  Nazi was a term for the National Socialist Workers’ Party of Germany.  They are fascists, not Nazis.  It’s like fingers and thumbs.  All Nazis are fascists, but not all fascists are Nazis.
