Yell as loud as you can. I have been. And still, my friends and family ignore both me and all the proof, eating up Trump's gaslighting and propaganda.

I despair at the idiocy of people who used to be thinking individuals but now are cult members who have no thought not approved by Trump or his propaganda arm. I fight as hard as I can, while also preparing for the worst, and my worst case is significantly worse than what you project in this article.

Think Czarist Russia in the 16 and 17 hundreds, not anything modern. Anything that modern autocrats have done? The Czars did it first and were more ruthless and crazy about its implementation. I no longer think Trump is a Fascist. He has gone beyond that. He thinks of himself as the ordained by some twisted diety ruler of the country with nothing to keep him from doing what his whim tells him when he thinks of it.
