Fascism

1/ I promised myself I wouldn’t watch the Republican Convention, because I knew it would be stupid & upsetting & invite me into spasms of self-righteousness. I thought then I would just watch the first 30 min of “Morning Joe” & get the gist of the event.

2/ Holy S***!

3/ Here’s the Merriam Webster definition of fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual,...

4/... and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

sorry, lost thread -- starting over.
