I started using the word "fascist" regularly in 8th grade and people thought it was a joke.
The fun thing is that a lot of the people I called fascists lined up to become one. 💅💅💅

I find the 'the Democrats won't do anything' doomer line annoying, because the Democrats will be who you make them - look how much the GOP changed over the past decade!
Right now the party feels immovable but the moment it has a presidential nominee, it will be whatever that person is.

The White Christian Supremacism of this administration is so extreme that it seems like it’s got to resolve with either a massive rejection of such illiberalism, or a violent, authoritarian imposition of it.
