We Need to Talk About Donald

Seriously, like what the almighty fuck?

How is it that the people who shout loudest about Freedom have elected, protected and legitimised a dictator in the making? And I don't use that word lightly - this is not me yelling 'fascist' at a police officer or government official.


I am genuinely worried about America right now.

Don't get me wrong - I don't think he will be allowed to cement his position enough to actually achieve a real dictatorship: I don't think Americans will let that happen. But I worry for the damage he may have done by the time he's through.

We have a rare opportunity to actually vote against fascism this year. Let's hope we do so.

Iowa Republicans took the first step. Steve King is done.

An effective way to protect freedom from those who won't make compromises is to plunge them into darkness. We call this maneuver... the "almighty fuck."

You owe me a kiss.

Because some people view "freedom" as "a guarantee of being half a rung higher up the ladder than black folks."

It's how the confederacy had people lining up to fight an impossible war, it's how the government gets the "freedom" crowd to DEMAND a tyrant.
