7. Nothing lasts forever. It's an insane dream to think so, but these fascist replays last too long.

It's our job to minimize the damage and help bring about a swifter end.

The fascist playbook is powerfully uses resentment, racism, xenophobia, fake religion and shoddy sham nationalism (among others) to rile up the people and lose their decency, money, and even lives for the "Leader" and industrialist cadre.

Note to Trump: the German industrialists got off scot-free. Hitler didn't.

Here's the good and the bad.

I have always argued on principle, while noting that Democratic economies outperform Repubilcan ones. Nobody listens.

It's all in the propaganda. The cult was mesmerized into believing that Biden's revolutionary "bottom up" economy was in fact a depression, But the Trump Trash economy is well, a wreck.



And the lies are contradicting themselves in a way that's hard to ignore. Lies and denial are part of cult "culture" and some do break free when the contradictions are very clear

And well, .... the shit hits the fan. It's no longer fun and games when groceries are out of sight.






I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper lt does just fine by itself
