Fash to Fascist
Demonizing the other? Check.
Calling anyone who disagrees with you as evil? Check.
Call for the imprisonment of political rivals just for being rivals? Check.
Isolate your followers from other sources of information? Check.
Perpetuate a “big lie” so that your followers are forced to rationalize to themselves, and tell more and more lies so that they continue flexing their rationalization muscles? Check.
We’re at a point where there has to be some accountability. Presidents are not nor have ever been above the law. Yet Trump operates outside the law. In a group of people have been “drinking the punch” for so long, the truth, which all of us hold dear, suddenly becomes useless.
To let Trump back into the White House would be devastating for multiple reasons, not the least of which is his army of followers who have supplanted their desires with his, their dreams with his dreams, and their self-love with external validation, however sparse.
This is a problem, y’all.
