We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

Someone asked what happened to the casual Nazi at the end of WWII. The people who supported the Party

The answer? Suicides and murders. If they weren’t beaten to death or shot in the streets, they killed themselves

There’s a book called Promise Me You’ll Shoot Yourself by Florian Huber about it.

The mass suicides by ordinary citizens in the last days of Nazi Germany
Historian Florian Huber's book examines how civilians took their own lives in greater numbers than military and government officials as the Third Reich collapsed
Soviet Army officers observe the bodies of women who committed
suicide in a Vienna park at the end of World War II.

BREAKING: A federal judge just temporarily blocked the Trump admin's plans to lay off thousands of federal workers during the government shutdown — siding with unions, which have argued that the dismissals were illegal.

People (still) not believing they will do the things they’ve done is their greatest weapon. Every warning is downplayed as “fear mongering.” You had a whole term before this one to adjust and stop living in a fantasy and face reality.
