I drove past a drug store the day after a guy came out, got in his car, turned the key, and turned into a ball of flame. There was a big, black scorchmark on the building's brick wall.

The gent who inspired us all with the famous American Carnage inaugural speech. Always in the best of taste.

They've forgotten their Revelations. A false Messiah will arise before the true one. And his followers will wear his mark on their foreheads.

If it quacks like a Nazi…

I hate to point out the obvious, and having lived in Germany for many years I know the vast majority of them are lovely people, but the name of the guy who wrote this dreck just SCREAMS for a Nazi comparison.

The So-Called Liberal Media thinks that while the fascists may be bad for the country, they're great for the SCLM.

"We alleged journalists of the So-Called Liberal Media don't care whose faces the leopards eat, because the face-eating leopards are great for our ratings and revenues, and of course the leopards will never eat our faces."

(NARRATOR: The leopards did, in fact, eventually eat the faces of the SCLM.)

While the American fascists can certainly be scary on an individual scale, they won't be capable of worse than stochastic terrorism (which is bad enough, to be sure) against the USA.

If they couldn't take over the country in January 2021--when they had a traitorous President and his minions restraining the forces of law and order on their behalf--they won't be able to take over the country now.

If the fascists were to be stupid enough to try to launch Civil War 2.0, the "Confederate" forces would look like this: https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

The whole history rhymes thing. It's the twenties, there was a narrowly averted economic crisis that still could flare up. Social divisions about work and the value of labor, as well as backlash to efforts to accept marginalized demographics. Nazis all over the place, out in the open, trying to take over a complicit enabling political party.

We outnumber them, but we live in cities and don't have guns like they do. The good news is that businesses are not going to be DTF with Civil War: Electric Boogaloo 2.
