I’m fucking scared. This tide has been growing there and here, and certain things have been more mask off since the annoying orange took power in 2016.

Fascism doesn’t come openly. It comes to ‘clean up’ your country, give you more jobs, do something about those awful people. Drop the price of eggs and petrol/gas.

That’s how it happens. People focus on the promises of a better quality of daily life, think ‘surely these extreme things would never happen’. And then you’ve lost Roe and Wade and some very loaded and ominous proposals are being made.

And fascism creeps. It doesn’t limit itself to one minority, or one country.

Ugh. Sorry to make this cosy thread all dark. It would have cost me nothing to have kept my yap shut
