or how I learned to start wishing the Supreme Court had been aborted as fetuses…
It’s been a long time, getting from there to here. Over the years I personally have taken quite the spiritual and political journey, from being raised by Evangelical fundamentalist parents to reading the Bible, deconverting, and slowly questioning all the BS I was raised with to arrive at where I am today. This Blog itself has not seen a post since 2015 but I feel that recent events are going to pull me back in – back into the world of firebrand atheism and of saying Fuck the Bible.
America too, it seems, has been on a journey of her own, one that involves backsliding away from democracy and towards a growing fascistic threat that we have to discuss if our nation is going to survive the future. When Trump first rose to prominence in 2015 during the run up to the election and even for that first year of his Presidency I thought, like many did, that cries of him being a fascist were greatly exaggerated. I didn’t understand how fascism worked or how it had remained hidden, boiling just beneath the surface, watching and waiting as the right wing of this country slowly but surely became more and more extreme.
My wake up call did not come fully until the latter half of Trump’s Presidency, as Covid-19 hit and the President’s true incompetence was revealed. I began to look deeper at what was happening with the MAGA movement, with Trump, and in the broader political spectrum. The pieces began to fall in place. January 6 was another wake-up call and it told me that things had accelerated to the point that our democracy, and the lives of millions, are genuinely at stake if the GOP is allowed to continue on its current trajectory. They are currently an existential threat to life, liberty, happiness and democracy in America.
I’m not going to pretend to be some great researcher, political activist, or even someone who fully understands everything that is happening. I don’t have a political science or sociology degree. Instead I want to argue – in an almost Conspiracy Theory style way – what I believe to be happening. Maybe that poisons the well of my own post, so be it, but I can’t pretend to know for sure what is coming next or what is happening. I just know that there are dots that I have connected here and that whether you believe me or not I think it is worthwhile for me to lay them out.
All I can say is buckle up and hopefully join me in saying: Fuck the Supreme Court.
Part I – Christian Dominion and the Long Game
The first thing we need to understand to set the stage is something that I used to rail about a lot on the internet back in the day, Christian Dominionism. Similar to Christian Nationalism (or perhaps borrowing elements from it) Christian Dominionists believe that our country, laws and government should be Christian and that Christian morality and beliefs should be the predominant basis for those laws.
The belief that America is a Christian Nation founded on Judeo-Christian values has been repeated and peddled by everyone from Ronald Reagan to modern day figures like Dennis Prager, Ben Shapiro, etc. While it is a staple of the Evangelical “Christian Right” the truth is that anyone of any Christian denomination can be persuaded to believe that Christian beliefs helped found this country and form the basis of our laws and make the leap to the belief that the “Separation of Church and State” is a wishy-washy guideline at best and something to be entirely done away with at worst.
Growing up during the “War on Terror” I can remember pearl-clutching Republicans decrying the coming of SHARIA LAW. The spooky scary Muslims were going to come, the Islamophobes said, and turn America into a religious theocracy similar to Saudi Arabia. I find it ironic that, with the current way the Supreme Court is rolling back our rights, and the constant reactionary hatred spewed against the LGBT community by the Right, we are more and more starting to resemble Saudi Arabia. Apparently Conservative Christians want the exact same restrictive and hateful laws and traditions, the kind that subjugate women, gays and other groups, that a country like Saudi Arabia has they simply want to worship Jesus instead of Mohamed.
The other frightening thing about Evangelicals is that they believe the world is coming to an end soon. I remember growing up terrified of the rapture. It was coming any day. Better not sin. Better not make any long term life plans. God was on his way and it was our job as Christians to be ready to be taken up to the clouds. Meanwhile those LEFT BEHIND must endure a tribulation.
When an ideology believes that the world is inevitably coming to an end they can justify anything, either in an effort to stop the end and save the world (ie establish God’s Kingdom here on Earth early and avert the tribulation) or in accelerating the end times by trying to put the global chess pieces where they all need to be in order to force God’s hand.
I want to be clear here that I do not think every Evangelical or Christian in general is a fascist , I simply think that Trump and the fascists use this Christian Nationalism and these delusional beliefs about the end times to their advantage in order to position the Christian Right exactly where they need it.
As long as I’ve been alive I’ve heard Christians talk about one of their Holy Grail goals, overturning Roe V Wade. They’ve been waiting for this for fifty years, biding their time, trying to influence politics and in-turn being influenced by politics. Roe V Wade accomplishes no goals except to subjugate and harm women and roll back rights that they see as illegitimate because they go against God.
(Of course abortion does not go against God in any way shape or form. The Biblical God not only slaughters children by the thousands but openly calls for genocides of entire peoples but there is even a special potion mentioned in the Bible meant to induce a miscarriage if a woman has been unfaithful to her husband (Numbers Chapter 5, Also called the Ordeal of Bitter Water). God does not give a shit about the lives of babies or children and, to be clear, neither do most of these anti-choice Christians)
My ultimate point here is to drive home the fact that they are willing to play the long game. All it takes for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing and right now we have an openly evil political party that is almost entirely unopposed by the ineffectual milk-toast Democrats.
Part II – The Great Replacement and What Overturning Roe V Wade is About
The first set of major dots I want to connect is between the White Nationalist talking point called the Great Replacement and the overturning of Roe V Wade.
For years folks like Tucker Carlson have been ranting and raving like lunatics about the so-called Great Replacement, often hiding behind dog whistles and coded language to hide the more racist and objectionable aspects of the “theory”. Put simply the “Great Replacement” is a racist White Nationalist conspiracy theory about how non-white ethnic and racial groups are slowly but surely replacing white ones in majority white countries. That is to say that people of color are having babies and immigrating to places like the UK and USA at a faster rate than white folks are reproducing.
Now first thing is first, the Great Replacement, even if it was happening, is only a problem if you’re a fucking racist. I don’t know who, other than a racist, would give two fucks about whether or not white people are the majority or not. The fact of the matter is, though, that the language surrounding this racist theory is often so coded and politicized that it can come off as having absolutely nothing to do with race or ethnicity.
Tucker Carlson is the expert here, getting on national TV to talk about how Democrats WANT an influx of immigrants so that those immigrants will vote Democrat. Often times the line between whether these are illegal immigrants or legal ones is blurred, despite the fact that illegal immigrants can’t vote in our country.
The point of the whole immigration angle is, of course, to justify abuse of both illegal and legal immigrants and asylum seekers and to stir up anti-immigrant sentiment in a way that SEEMS to take race out of the occasion. After all if you are Republican and find out that Democrats are trying to pad the stats with immigrants that makes it seem like the Democrats might get an advantage.
So even a native born Conservative person of color might take offense to the idea of immigrants coming here.
Not many young people are Conservatives and, in fact, the Republican party is a fairly small minority of the people of this country in general. In addition many are waking up to the extremism that is in the GOP. So how can the GOP get new voters? If they genuinely believe that immigrants are flooding into our nation and all registering Democrat how can they fight back?
Raising the (White) birth rates of course. But how to do that? Republicans claim to be the chaste ones, they always want to keep sex education away from kids in schools and their Christian wing believes that sex outside of marriage is a sin – plus people just aren’t having as many kids these days – so how can they force people to procreate? Banning abortion, of course, is part one of a plan to create a new generation of fascists. Forcing women to bring unwanted children into the world, children that Republicans are now claiming they will take care of and adopt.
Recently a politician in South Dakota was asked what their state would do with all of the kids forced into the world by the insane draconian abortion bans. Her answer was that charities and churches would step up to help those women and those children. This is their plan. They will supplement the supposed influx of Democrat immigrants (despite them being largely imaginary) with a new generation of kids raised by the Church.
As I said before they are willing to play the long game but right now things are accelerating at an alarming rate.
Part III – The Erosion of Church and State
There are two key recent Supreme Court decisions that have already begun the rollback of the Separation between Church and State, specifically in regards to education. The first is a decision of a case from Maine in which the Supreme Court ruled that PUBLIC TAX MONEY cannot be withheld from Private (read RELIGIOUS) schools.
As the forced births in this country begin where do you think those children are going to end up if the Church does indeed step in to care for them? Many will end up in Private Religious Education while others may end up home-schooled by Christian Adoptive or Foster families. Now that our completely secular tax money can be siphoned off into Christian schools there is nothing stopping them.
The second erosion was a decision about public prayer. For a long time coaches, teachers and those acting as employees of the school could not force their sports-teams, students, etc to join together in prayer. After all bowing your head with your Catholic coach when you’re a Protestant might violate YOUR rights as a student to practice religion as YOU see fit. Well that right to practice your religion free from the interference of a school employee was chipped away in this decision.
Now don’t get me wrong, this second case in particular is a small step, a relatively minor erosion, but it is important and as I stated before the Long Game is in effect here. These people don’t have to get what they want right now, remember, the Supreme Court is a LIFETIME appointment and despite most of them being fairly old I feel like they have plenty of time left to lay the ground-work for the total dismantling of our democracy.
They will continue to chip away at the line between Church and State and they will continue their assault on education that they deem inappropriate for children.
Part IV – Education Connection
In the past few years a completely phony outrage has arisen around something called Critical Race Theory and a lot of Conservative pearl-clutching has been done related to whether CRT was being taught in public schools. Of course Critical Race Theory, a branch of Critical Theory, is mostly taught in SOME colleges and universities and is not the kind of thing required for most degrees to graduate. Instead of its actual meaning Conservatives were just using it as a catch-all, a buzzword, because they are tired of doing constant damage control about race relations and systemic racism in America.
CRT became short-hand for any discussion about race, privilege or inequality either in present day America or in the past. State and local governments rushed to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory. They don’t want children in this country to have any understanding of the road our nation has walked through its history. They do not want a critical lens or critical thinking to be applied to racism either in the past or still living inside our systems today.
During rallies and speeches Trump often alluded to something he called PATRIOTIC education, a thing he wanted back in America. The Texas GOP recently outlined their platform and goals and the document reads like absolute fascist insanity despite being the platform of one of the largest branches of one of the two predominant parties of the United States of America. They call for a reinforced “AMERICAN IDENTITY” in education, banning discussions of race, racial sensitivity or “critical race theory”.
The fascists are openly coming for the education of our children, the mask is off, this shit is fucking insane.
We are talking about open indoctrination and willful ignorance and if you think that’s hyperbolic, the next line is about them TEACHING CREATIONISM IN SCIENCE CLASS. Spoiler alert: They want to be able to indoctrinate your kids with religious beliefs in SCIENCE CLASS. They go on to say that Texas should not be beholden to national standards of education, so they want complete control over the curriculum. They want the right wing Christian equivalent of local Sharia Law.
This document is insane and it shows just how far we’ve fallen as a nation. This is how backwards they are willing to ADMIT they want to take us, and keep in mind that if we give them an inch of ground on any of this they will take a mile, they are already taking miles with overturning Roe V Wade. This is Mainstream Republican ideology now, imagine how much crazier shit they believe that they aren’t saying out loud.
Part V – Education Connection 2: LGBTQ Boogaloo
All fascists need an ‘other’, some kind of external or internal enemy to focus their anger upon. Of course many on the far right will focus their attention outward toward immigrants and other ethnic or racial minorities but I think it is clear from paying close attention to the reactionaries on the Right that the LGBT community is their ultimate scapegoat.
In his landmark evil decision Clarence Thomas talks about revisiting certain other Supreme Court cases that are privacy and equality based, two of those are related to Marriage Equality and Anti-Sodomy Laws. So many may not know this but Christian fundamentalists believe that sex is meant to take place between a man and a woman but also many believe that sex is meant only for attempting procreation. Many States used to have anti-sodomy laws, prohibiting or discouraging sexual encounters that weren’t between one man and one woman. These laws primarily were used to discriminate against gay folks.
So the Supreme Court has openly announced that it is open season on gay rights and even on what goes on in private bedrooms between LGBTQ folks. In addition to a bevy of anti-trans legislation attempts and just general bigotry spewing openly from the Right there has been a particularly dangerous push to ban many LGBT people as “GROOMERS”.
Never mind that people like Trump and Bill Clinton were both personal friends of Epstein and both directly tied to actual sex-trafficking and grooming, instead they want to fear-monger about supposed “TRANS IDEOLOGY” and sex being taught to kids. This, again, is just pearl-clutching and “won’t-someone-think-of-the-children-ing”. Never mind that most television commercials contain more sex than any Drag Queen Story Time ever could, it doesn’t fucking matter to them, because they hate LGBTQ people.
And they want your children to be ignorant of sex, gender, and any kind of nuanced understanding of LGBT rights in this country. Keep in mind that these same folks, banning abortion, are coming after Contraception next (another case Thomas wants revisited) and now, in Florida, they want to ban any discussion of gender, gender identity or sex in the classroom completely. This Bill, considered legendarily harmful, is vague enough to not just restrict teachers from talking about sex and gender but also seemingly stops teachers from going into any detail about their personal lives.
I for one remember being in elementary school, I remember teachers would establish whether they were Mister, Misses, Miss, etc on the first day of school. Now we are in a time and place where many non-binary and trans teachers exist and they deserve to be able to tell kids their pronouns and even their marital statuses. Throughout a year of schooling things are going to come up in class and teachers are going to have to discuss at least some cursory details or who they are and what their life is like.
People like Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and other fascist pricks, have made it very clear that they don’t want gender and gender identity being discussed in public or in school. Trump, who did a great deal in his presidency to set back trans rights, now often incorporates anti-trans rhetoric in his speeches, saying that teachers should not be able to “teach transgender” to our kids. They want prayer in schools, religious teaching in schools, but do not even want LGBTQ students/teachers to feel safe, welcomed, or included in schools.
My prediction is that if fascism rises and is allowed to erode our rights and our education system further we will see an ousting of a great many LGBTQ teachers under the guise of anti-grooming or “Don’t Say Gay” type legislation. They want to reinstate PATRIOTIC education remember and they want to erode away with line between actual education and religious instruction so they will slowly start putting in place teachers that they want.
Also please remember that for decades now the Right has been complaining that “Marxists” and “Post-Modernists” have taken over universities. Steven Crowder and Ben ‘Wet Ass P Word’ Shapiro both made their careers debating college kids and the anti-SJW and anti-Feminist crowd have made it their ongoing mission to point out so-called “WOKE” ideology at work in colleges and Universities. So they will replace the teachers with people who will tow the party line and, of course, we know that the GOP wants teachers and school staff armed to the teeth to “protect from mass shooters” but this will also allow them to arrest or assault anyone protesting what they are doing in these schools including students that speak out.
The Fascists already believe that the education system is controlled by their opposition, they will not hesitate to dismantle it and put propagandists in place.
Part VI – Mask Off, Armbands On
I used to scoff when I heard people on the Left refer to others as Nazis, White Nationalists, or Fascists. I used to think it was hyperbolic and uncharitable and that it diminished the meaningfulness of those terms. I stopped thinking that and came to my senses, especially after January 6.
Many Democrats, Liberals and Progressives might agree with me that January 6 was an Insurrection, an attempt at keeping an illegitimate President who had lost an election, in power. Many would also agree that it was a limp-dicked and pathetic attempt that was rightfully a failure. But I feel like I would get push back in suggesting that January 6 was merely a dry run to test the rest of us on our resolve and that we failed with flying colors.
Of course we have yet to see, as of me writing this, if the DOJ ever will hold Trump and the Republican establishment to account for their seditious attempt to overthrow our democracy but I would like to point out to anyone who thinks the danger has passed that TRUMP did not storm the Capitol. Instead it was an angry mob made up of White Nationalists, MAGA zealots and fascist groups like the Proud Boys. Trump openly told the Proud Boys to “Stand By” on live television, in the midst of a Presidential debate and on January 6 we saw that they took his command to heart.
This is not about Trump, in the same way that the rise of the Nazis in Germany is not about Hitler. We have a tendency to focus on the deluded narcissists that head fascist regimes instead of focusing on the average everyday Nazi who carried out the inhumane and cruel orders of the regime itself. We pretend that Hitler was some super-villain of a figure, essentially Evil with a capital E when in actuality the average Nazi, carrying out evil, was just an ordinary person pushed into place by the political forces and reactionary ideology around him.
In November of 1923 Hitler and the Nazis attempted to storm the HQ of the Bavarian State Police in Munich, Germany. This was the famous Beer Hall Putsch, a failed coup attempt for which Hitler was arrested and charged with treason. But Hitler did not fade into obscurity and while in prison he dictated Mein Kampf and began strategizing a slightly more legally sound strategy to seize power. Rather than attempt a coup by force the Nazis would instead seize power slowly.
Despite being arrested for treason and despite being fought by the German political establishment at the time Hitler still became Chancellor of Germany and after the false-flag of the Reichstag fire he was given emergency powers. The rest, as they say, is history, because once fascists get power they do not give it up even if that power is obtained, in its original form, lawfully.
Even if we do, by some miracle, hold Trump and members of the GOP accountable their base has already been sufficiently radicalized to still pose a threat. Hitler was in prison in 1924 and still rose to power so even if Trump ends up in prison (instead of the White House) by 2024 we still cannot give up the fight against fascism in this country. It is here, it is showing its face in all kinds of ways and places, and the time has come to admit to ourselves that IT CAN HAPPEN HERE. In less than ten years the Nazis went from a relatively obscure movement, to absolute control with Hitler declaring in 1933 that all other political parties were dissolved, the Nazis were all there was.
The average Nazi citizen was not some monster or radicalized zealot and so if fascism rises to power here the average Republican will not suddenly become a monster and it is important to remember that. It also important to remember that ordinary people are capable of immense cruelty especially when under pressure. Even if the average citizen maintains some decency all it takes is the pressure put on them by those who are zealots, by those who are radicals, to drive good men and women to do unspeakable things or merely to turn a blind eye to those unspeakable things.
People often do not realize that the first victims of fascism are the citizens living beneath it. In 1933 the first Concentration camp, Dachau, was built, initially as a place to imprison leftists and any political enemies of the State.
Today we have folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene talking about the January 6 rioters as if they are political prisoners instead of treasonous criminals. Rest assured that if the fascists take power they will do to the rest of us what they PRETEND in their deluded fantasies that we are doing to them. Don’t believe me? The ground work has already been laid thanks to years and years of Mass Incarceration, insane anti-immigration policies and a very special Constitutional amendment.
Part VII – They’re Trying to Build a Prison
America incarcerates more citizens, per capita, than any other developed nation and this system has long been biased against racial minorities and the poor in this country.
In recent times this mass incarceration rate has sky-rocketed thanks in no small part to Tough-on-Crime legislation and the War on Drugs that began in the Nixon era. Our current prison industrial complex is, arguably, an outgrowth of slavery itself, as when the slaves were freed they were not given reparations or any kind of wealth-base to start with. Many Americans were never taught – I know I never was – about the loophole in the 13th Amendment that allows the State to extract free labor from prisoners. I was also never taught about so-called Black Codes and the system of Debt-Slavery established in the South in the post-Reconstruction era. These laws were often arbitrary and were applied without any kind of due process.
Once found guilty of violating one of these arbitrary bullshit laws a black American could be turned into a perpetual convict, leased out to companies to work, and so the former slave masters remained masters, resurrecting slavery in everything but name.
The 13th Amendment literally states that slavery is illegal EXCEPT if you are a prisoner. So if you don’t think work-camps are coming for those the fascists deem undesirables I can assure you that they are already here, in-built into the American way of life, and there are tons of ways that the Republicans can make things worse if they gain absolute power.
Near the Southern border, of course, America has concentration camps for those “undesirables” who are not citizens. We’ve all seen the images of kids in cages. Many who are imprisoned in regular US prisons are sterilized and stories of forced sterilizations have also emerged from the detention facilities set up at the US border. Eugenics has a long and sordid history in the United States and it continues in remote pockets to this day and rest-assured that if they gain power it will be a part of the coming fascist regime. They might start with the immigrants but clearly with the overturn of Roe V Wade and them openly admitting they want to roll back contraception both forced pregnancy and forced sterilizations are on the to-do list for these sick fucks.
Forced pregnancy and forced birth are both violations of human rights recognized by international law as potential elements of genocide. All of the pieces are here for a new fascist regime, right down to the fucking genocide, WE ARE NOT THAT FAR OFF FROM THIS SHIT.
Part VIII – They Openly Want to Kill Homosexuals
Some of the racist and genocidal tendencies of the current far right are hidden beneath dog-whistles, coded language, and other attempts to mask their true evil and how far they are willing to go. In recent times, however, there have been more and more people openly condemning LGBTQ “lifestyles” in ways that explicitly call for the death of LGBTQ people.
I want everyone to keep in mind that stoning people to death in the street, executing homosexuals and “immoral” people is called for in the Old Testament. In the worldview of a Biblical literalist it can all be justified. I feel a sense of guilt that I did not keep this blog running, that I did not continue my fight against the Bible and the Fundamentalists who believe in it.
It seems like not a week goes by when another pastor is hot water for wishing death on homosexuals and LGBTQ people in general. For every one of these pastors OPENLY calling for this there are likely another five who would call for it, if they could get away with it, and for those five there are dozens and dozens who would go along with it. All it takes is a few zealots to rile up a mob and get ordinary folks to do horrible things in the name of God.
In the coming fascist regime immigrants and LGBTQ folks will be the primary targets, along with anyone who speaks out against the Party. It is time to speak out now, it is time to point out all the movements and little victories, all the dominoes that are now falling, as they move into position to take over.
Part IX – The Night of Broken Glass
In 1938, five years after seizing power, the Nazis executed a brutal attack on German Jews after riling up anti-Jewish sentiment for decades within Germany. This event is considered a turning point, as after this the Final Solution could be put into practice. Of course the pretense of this retaliation was mostly fictitious fears, reactionary mutterings. Jews were smeared constantly by propaganda, believed to be a disease, sick, vermin.
Today many on the right consider LGBTQ folks to be sick, deluded, to be groomers trying to indoctrinate children into their way of life. They want to be ban things like puberty blockers and HRT because they want trans-kids and trans people in general to die. Remember that not all of them are calling for open executions in the streets, not all of them have to, many just have to stir up sentiment, fear, foment anger, and set things in motion to move us toward a tipping point.
Fox News recently ran a piece about a transgender kid who was happy, well-adjusted and living his best life with a fully supportive family. This positive outlook on a trans youth was derided immediately by others in the Republican party and right wing media as being outrageous, disgusting, and a betrayal of everything they stand for. They are now openly standing against the very existence of LGBTQ people and their happiness and every moderate voice of acceptance and tolerance among their ranks is being drowned out by the zealots.
VIDEO – Ben Shapiro is a fucking idiot, calls “Pro trans” Fox story a “Betrayal”
By the time of the Kristallnacht, or Night of Broken Glass, it was too late for the Jews that remained in German occupied territory, their fate was already sealed, and it was too late for anyone in Germany to fight back on their behalf. After all, by this point, the Nazi party was the ONLY party legally allowed to exist in Germany and those deemed undesirables or political agitators had either been executed, arrested, expelled or at the very least disarmed.
We do not want to wait until the tipping point, until it is too late, to stand up for the LGBTQ community and to stand against the fascists that have now infiltrated the mainstream of the Republican party in America. We do not want it to happen here. We still have time to stop it if we realize that it is happening and work to prevent it, if enough awareness is raised and enough people see the truth before history repeats itself.
It is important that we do not “trust the process” either, that is to say it is important we do not pretend that we can only defeat fascism through entirely civil means. The fascists will use any excuse to fight back, they will find any justification. The pretext for the Night of Broken Glass was the assassination of a German diplomat by a Jewish man. They will paint with a broad brush. Our fight cannot be done by relying on merely the Democratic establishment and the processes we already have in place.
If we wish to avoid the tipping point we need to shift our country Left, or, at the very least, get the rest of the reasonable masses, the centrists and liberals, to understand just how wildly unhinged the GOP has become and how dangerous they are to our democracy.
Part X – Conclusion
There is a lot more I could say. I could talk about race and how racism and White Supremacy play a part in their plan. I could talk about gun policy and how I believe the GOP will crack down on handguns in “crime ridden” (read: racist dog whistle) areas before they ever relinquish their Assault weapons. I could talk about how the coming subjugation of women and LGBTQ people will make it difficult for us to rally together and that will be done on purpose. It has long been a way of silencing the poor to keep us from being able to use our free time to protest and rally and fight back.
I think that I have provided an overview, however scattershot, of what I believe is going on in present day America. I understand that to most on the outside it looks like a tangled web of conspiracy. Understand, however, that movements like the current fascist one need only a select set of true believers and zealots.
Not everyone is an occultist esoteric SS officer drinking blood from a skull, it only takes a few thousand of those to keep hundreds of thousands in line.
I think the most important take away, however, is that the long game is here. Remember that this abortion ban, if it stands, will lead to a new generation of unwanted children that they are setting the stage to indoctrinate into their way of thinking. Fascism may not come to America in 2024 or 2028, it may come in 2044 or 2048 and we must remain vigilant even if this current wave is somehow defeated. Unless we expunge them from our democracy and strengthen it against their influence we will be wrestling with them for decades to come.
I think it’s safe to say that if you want a free and democratic America that you should be an anti-fascist.
Future generations will look back on what we did now, and whether or not we spoke out now and hopefully they will do so while living in freedom and democracy and not in a theocratic fascist state.

Fuck the Bible
