War is coming, Sipowitz. I’d thought originally that it would kick off guerilla-style between regular citizenry over policy changes, but what you’re describing sounds like a ripe opportunity for a military coup. Fuck. Fuck.

The alt-right like Bannon and his Breitbart ilk earnestly believe that the Nazis were a homosexual regime.

It’s classic dictator chic. Look familiar? (Ivanka’s practically in Evita’s exact dress!)

Doubtful. Dr Suess was hardcore anti- Nazi. He also wasn’t fond of Republicans either.

Guess what certain types of right wing Jewish people and White Nationalists have in common? (hint: they both think Islamophobia isn’t real)

“priests, gypsies, people with mental or physical disabilities, communists, trade unionists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, anarchists, Poles and other Slavic peoples, and resistance fighters”

Yes, and this is how people defend Trump against accusations of fostering (or at least turning a blind eye to) anti-Semitism in his administration and supporters. It’s a fig leaf. Kushner is obviously not going to stand up for Jews, or anyone besides himself and his own interests.

I kept having dreams last night of the US having its own Arab Spring. That and my family having to flee the US like we did from Germany.

Hey, do you guys remember the Arab spring, when protests we erupting all over the Middle East due to their displeasure of their dictators? Who would have guessed that same shit would happen here less then a decade later.

This is Trump. Unlike Nero, I’m fairly certain he can’t play the fiddle.

Witness to the Revolution by Clara Bingham! It is an oral history, and it touches on everything from the women’s movement, the anti-war movement, the Black Panthers, the Weathermen, ect. It is really good. The back also includes a soundtrack (if you are into the music of the time) broken down by chapter, as well as…

I appreciate folks who are studying up on totalitarianism in some sort of abstract defiance. Personally, I can’t with this anymore. Outside of *campaign donations and voting for whoever emerges as Trumps 2020 rival, I’ve cut myself off from Trump-flavored news (aside from Gawker media talking about it).

Also now back in the top 10 best sellers is probably the most precisely prescient of our present circumstances...

To be fair, I wonder how many copies of The Origins of Totalitarianism they probably had in stock to begin with. I would assume (knowing what they say about assuming...) that they probably had a lot more copies of 1984 to begin with, since it’s such a commonly taught book.

Yep

Being afraid of stairs and doorways is CLASSIC, well-documented dementia behavior.

Yes he is, he needs something to hold on to - probably because of his age or his giant fat head stuffed with rocks.

The Dump kids are trying their hardest to look like “an American Family in the White House” through social media. For every one of Ivanka’s bullshit family instagram photos, we need to blast her with photos of dying Syrian children in response.

I loved this response.
