Glad someone finally said it out loud, I’ve been screaming about it anywhere I can. I can’t memorize enough travesties to go toe to toe with magats, this is a streamlined, coherent way of presenting it.
As far as the militarization of local LEOs and those willing in the real military to jump on board the authoritarian train, I believe this has already happened. Just waiting for whatever dog whistle false flag red herring to be set free, a whole new horrid and violent situation. I’m finally gaining some insight as to why it was “ordinary Germans” fell into line without a peep of resistance, something that has bothered me since I began studying the Holocaust. In this regard I would have preferred to remain ignorant, but here we go!
Yeah, sad to say “in the argot, we’re fucked”. I’d hoped - probably along with so many others - that the higher ranks would rein them in, but now we see in person why that’s not gonna happen. Turns out it’s actually not a surprise after all.
Mark points out a key characteristic of MAGA world: as a political philosophy, if we can stretch to call it that, it's internally contradictory. Always. The White House claims to have sealed the border, stopped the flow of asylum seekers and migrants, and yet we're at risk of being invaded. How can both things be true? They have perverted language itself in their efforts to twist their lies into truth. State media, Fox News, is all in, full-throated. We must continue to speak out, illustrate the contradictions, and be ready to take to the streets. The battle is only in its early stages; Trump and Stephen Miller will only become more extreme and reckless.
Not only does this reflect Orwell’s vision of government-controlled language, but once again, this follows Hitler’s playbook. Words meant what the NSDAP said they meant, not what the German language had always intended.
Watch next for it to become de rigeur for Trump and Musk to use racist slang in public. Once it became acceptable for German teenagers to say, “Don’t be in such a Jewish hurry,” genocide followed close behind.
Exactly right. Look for more outrages. Soon.

Waiting for the dog whistles as well.

Excellent! Reposted.
Thank you Genevieve!
