I’ve been loudly warning people about the rise of fascism for over 15 years but even now I still get treated like Randy Quaid in Independence Day even though now they have their own massive masked secret police and concentration camps.

Young adults seem tuned out at least at my house Grandson & his wife looked at me like I was a mental hospital escapee last night. Her dad is legal but Latino & I was making sure they knew about ICE & illegal detainments happening. GS: he has papers & has ID. Me: it doesn’t matter Them:

People don't want to believe things which are uncomfortable and disturbing - it would harm their all-day life. And besides Trump did hide it very neat by screaming about the other party and their representatives. Maybe the democrats shouldn't be that courtly and scream back the very truth!

At this point in time may EVERY NAZI MAGA goon be FORCED -no other way- to RECOGNIZE the GRIEF, ABUSE & DEPRAVITY they've ENABLED the "trumpy dumpy NAZI REGIME" to bring upon POOR immigrant families/kids & MAY the LORD 'BLESS' MAGAs & their own & others like them as they've EARNED for an ETERNITY!

I've been saying since 2010 that allowing doctors to report all your medications to the DEA was absolute insanity. But they wrote articles about fentanyl dead upon touch & other hysteria. They demonized patients w/painful disease. And worst of all, doctors became the first Vichy fascists.

Vichy collaborators like Petain and many of his cohorts were executed. I think many of the most egregious medical collaborators, like Kolodny and that dingbat at Stanford, politicians who never questioned any of this, should think about that, but they're more interested in the $ they're making.

Why are US officials in Sudan? US officials had been at the airport awaiting trump's migrants’ arrival. South Sudan government source said, 'US officials' had been at the airport awaiting trump migrants' arrival.

The beginning goes back to at least Newt as Speaker, if not all the way back to Reagan and the Religious Right allying. While the link may not be clear, I don't believe any of this is possible without Reagan's 8 years as POTUS

I have also been trying to get people to see since 911. Fascism is going to overtake the earth because people love money more than they love their fellow human.

Same God, same. My whole family, save 3 other people & me are maga. My dad tells me democrats destroyed this country and that Rump is "the BeSt PrEsIdEnT eVaAaAr." And dems should be outlawed. Every day they contact me, I continue to be hurt and betrayed by them.

When I tell him he sounds un-American and parroting nazi rhetoric, he loses his mind & yells, "IM NOT A NAZI" & it's me, that's the bad guy. I tell him ducks quck & dogs bark, but I don't think he gets it truly.

Toxic positivity and denial. People want to pretend everything's fine. But no one in their right mind could think what this Republican Regime is doing is fine. Republicans are a death cult. Many people will suffer and die.

People have always been prone to refuse to see what’s uncomfortable for them to acknowledge. The current media environment makes it worse, and now even our perception of reality itself is being challenged by generative AI.

I hear ya, God. I’m getting chided for connecting the dots between the unfolding catastrophe in TX and the gross negligence by “leaders” of all stripes to address the climate crisis, which could have been handled w/ incremental change if that change had begun 40 years ago.

There are quite a few deniers, and many Americans remain confused, thinking the problem is at least a century away, thanks to 40 years of the petroleum industry’s funding of combatants who throw sand in the umpire’s face. That and politicians’ preference for fat donations, is why we’re so behind.

In November of 2016 I was told by everyone that I was overreacting. I wasn’t then and I’m not now. The civil war we have always dreaded has already started. It will be in some cases neighbor against neighbor. Thanks Fox News.

Wow, you're SO remarkable! You warned of this for 15 years? What a hero. Sure wish we'd all listened to you, Nostradamus. None of us managed to figure it out. I figure you THINK social media exists so you can massage your ego, but can we drop the self congratulations and focus on what's important?

Canada had its version in Harper and avoided the next by not electing Poilievre. Our courts were fully functioning though and ruled against many times. Damage was done but nowhere near as much as yours is now. He needs to be removed, waiting simply makes it worse.

People around me are in denial. It’s weird. Like wtf people. Sorry it makes you uncomfortable to acknowledge reality, but wake the fuck up and get on board with the fucking general strike. We’re dying here.

What bothers me is that Democrats seem to think this is something totally new, and not something the DEA has been doing with bipartisan support for half a century. Except for sending people to foreign death prisons, everything ICE is doing right now was pioneered by the DEA.

This is true, but it’s also true there’s been a big step up in fascism. The amount of all of the bad stuff has escalated, and the routine habit of telling the federal courts to go fuck themselves is new. Disobeying the Supreme Court is new.

Prediction: Trump's huge, new Gestapo will ALL be masked & armed. They won't care about due process, warrants, legality, or morality. They'll try to normalize KIDNAPPING. At polling places, they'll CLAIM they're for "security" but the REAL purpose will be voter INTIMIDATION. RESIST! indivisible.org

If you're white and have relatively plentiful means, you're not affected. The 14% of Americans (14.8 million households) earning $200k plus a year have no idea what the fuss is about, but they're pissed they can't get anyone to mow their lawns or trim the shrubbery.

I saw the writing on the wall when they successfully stole a presidential election in 2000. You could see the change in Republicans. What did Democrats do? Norms, traditions, bipartisanship, posturing, and groveling for scraps, until they just decided to cash in on fascism.

Well God, you know you are about the only hope we have left in stopping this crap. Get off your damn cloud and smite the bastards in DC like you did the Egyptians in Exodus. Otherwise we’re gonna have Nazi Germany 2.0 here in America with no one left to come and help us. 🙏

15 years ago was 2010, Obama had just been elected. If you were crying about fascism in 2010 you would have looked like the guys in the city wearing "The End is Near" signs. Obviously nobody listened to you.

Well everybody can take some comfort in the fact that trump and the regime will steal a lot of the money set aside for ICE. Just like with the fund for the wall. I think Steve Bannon got most of that.

IKR. I can’t believe it’s actually gotten to the point that I’m looking at them stealing the money as the preferred scenario but when the alternative is them fulfilling their NAZI dream for America what else can you say. It all just completely sucks.

When i was a kid, my grandpa warned me about this kind of thing and said that one day, America wouldn't be safe. I didn't understand because I was a sheltered child. But he lived through antisemitism in the US and helped Jewish families come to the US to escape the Nazis. Now I understand.

The mental gymnastics they do are maddening. "They're not secret police, they have to protect themselves more than other people! It's not a concentration camp, it's a prison! It's not racist, they're illegal! They don't get due process, they're criminals! Trump isn't lying, everyone else is!"

Not 'secret police'. Nothing 'secret' about them. They are the Sturm Abteilung (SA), the Nazi Storm troopers, who went after the 'undesirables' in the 1930's Germany

Tried to talk to my leftist mom about it yesterday and even now she's still in denial saying oh come on honey they're just horrible people making horrible jokes they're not really gonna feed people to the alligators and I just really need her to stop being such a child

Definitely not. But she is in denial that such things could actually be done here. Which is bizarre because she dropped out of the system and left the US to join the Children of God in the 60s and always said these exact fears were why she did that. I pointed that out so I hope she thinks on it more

She's the type who thinks why would they do that when we can all see? They'll never get away with it! And I graphically remind her of all they have gotten away with in just the last 2 years. It's a scary thing to face when you're mid 70s and feel helpless I imagine. But I need her to catch up.

Americans are very gullible. Unfortunately, it's part of the American culture. All the good things America was are gone. This is what capitalism looks like when done wrong. But the 2nd Amendment is a wonderful thing. Used properly it's like Raid against bugs. Time for a good fumigation.

No, I'm the guy protecting you. Being Canadian I'm not influenced by the BS and fascist propaganda. Americans just don't get it. The military has sworn an oath to defend the Constitution. They aren't! The courts are a joke. The 2nd Amendment is for this moment. Or just be gullible sheep.

Well, Mick, you wanted to use the 2nd Amendment to blow up the country. When I criticized that, you send me a video of Beto(whom I very much admire) that essentially condemned what I condemned.
