The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE

This is what fascism looks like and does. It releases the real criminals who engaged in a real conspiracy (we have the real emails and the real video of that conspiracy), perpetrated the violence (again- real videos and real communications, real deaths, injuries and real attempts to commit further violence against the Vice President and sitting congress folk.

It pardons these- wipes the slate clean.

Then- it turns right around and through its politicized Justice Department- goes after one REAL criminal who shot a policeman. Great- a righteous prosecution as far as it goes….. but then does the thing that fascists always do- they went after “fellow conspirators” who didn’t even know each other, had no connection to the cop shooter, and were there only to protest the illegal actions of this administration.

Gradually but inexorably, this fascist administration is laying the groundwork for a police state in which if you show up for a protest, you risk getting saddled with a 30-80 year jail term.

Meanwhile, Oathkeepers and Proudboys who injured over a hundred police officers while trying to overthrow our democracy get presidential pardons.

But we’re the violent ones?

It is always so with fascist governments.
