Did you happen to see the video of Trump and Obama yukking it up together at Jimmy Carter's funeral? This was, what, mere weeks after consistently making Trump/Hitler comparisons.
I think if you look at the practices I described above and how they've escalated and become normalized over time, across multiple Democratic and Republican presidencies, that yes, it's hard to come to a reasonable conclusion that there's a meaningful difference between what's happening now and what happened in the 2000's and 2010's.
And that's particularly true because Obama and Bush were re-elected and thus rewarded for escalating fascism in America.
The only difference is that we're getting a closer view to it and the information isn't coming out in leaked or declassified documents. It's always been just as sensational as the video we saw yesterday.
Did I see two people making polite conversation at a fucking funeral? Yeah thanks for showing everything is the same to you. Have at your next one.
LOL
Thank you for your commentary.
