The Fix Is In
- Create conditions that make people dependent on government largesse
- Gradually eliminate the means to effect change in the government
- Be sure to give people "cover" - ie: Scapegoats - so they can continue to "vote" against the "unworthy other" and in favor of those who hand out the goodies to the "real Americans".
Many of the rubes are convinced they're being patriotic, and making noble sacrifices in keeping with the traditions of service to their country.
This is the treachery and the insidiousness of creeping authoritarianism. It gradually poisons democracy while preaching to the mob that they're drinking a magic elixir, guaranteed to cure all their ills.
A Difference
You're afraid we'll take away your guns.
We're afraid your guns will take away our kids.
We've never even tried to take away your guns.
Your guns take away some of our kids every day.
Whose fears are unfounded?
Which of us is on the wrong side?

RIP
Peter Fonda: February 23, 1940 – August 16, 2019
I stole $10 from the money I'd raised for student council selling lapel buttons and window decals to take my girlfriend to see Easy Rider in 1969.
That was the beginning of my thankfully short career as a crooked politician.
And it's not for nothing - when I bitch about official corruption and Coin-Operated politicians, I know what the fuck I'm talkin' about, kids.
Today's Tweet
If the Religi-Folk can stick with this, it's all good and we move the thing forward.
It's good to get myself reminded that they're not all kooks.

Being Pointless Is The Point
“So Trump tells Rashida Tlaib to go back where she came from, then tells her ancestral home not to admit her”.
--Mark Piske
As Ayn Rand (the patron saint of shitty tippers) tells us: Contradiction exists, but it cannot prevail.
And because Cult45 chooses to ignore the obvious, we're left to understand that they're fine with the idea that since Tlaib can't stay and can't go, then she'll have to cease to exist.
I'll say it again - we are well past the point of "This is where it begins".
