I have a couple of questions tangentially related — maybe someone can help me out? As a deaf person w/o a phone, I have no way to create a twitter acct, and am wondering how to find local(ish) protests via other sources?

I assume the Sinclair Lewis work is It Can’t Happen Here? Everybody and her dog should read that one, I have to say. Lewis was prescient in predicting that when fascism came to America it would be wrapped in the flag.

You wouldn’t say they need a fig-leaf? I think they need an excuse — it needn’t be much of a one. Historically, well, specific to WWII, the Republicans, many of whom were America Firsters, fought tooth and nail against any behavior that could be construed as helping non-Axis powers. The Democrats did not respond by…

I also think they’re trying to provoke a war here, so that they can profit from it while eradicting further the civil liberties in the USA. They’re just assholes -- and they’re the real terrorists — but they always have a plan to make things worse while they profit.

I realize that the ban is incredibly horrific, but may I also point out how insane it is to want to build up our military any further? I wish we could force an audit of all military contractors, because it’s crazy that all that money gets flushed away and we can’t even guarantee basic decency to our veterans. & given…

As an American, I am deeply ashamed of what is happening ostensibly in my name.

Stronger Together, huh? Where have I heard that before...????

Why would he want to have the cyber-security issue addressed? He almost certainly wouldn’t be president without a little nudge push nudge from his good friend / blackmailer.

Senators Warren & Marky (also Boston’s woke mayor Marty Walsh), and Joe Kennedy III in a PP tee shirt which clashes with his hair.

Boston, baby ...

I know China has big problems, but look into their solar and wind initiatives. They’re poised to become THE green energy giant, thanks in large part to the oil companies and their Republican toadies here in the states sucking every last penny they can from our country before selling it for parts.

You’re not the only one. I’m very sad -- my dad was a WWII vet and whenever I read some new outrage I think of it as shitting all over his service, and that of genuinely good people -- of which there are many, but apparently only 12 or so managed to get elected to federal office. I’m so upset about this.

That would be nice, but actually for all the kabuki about how Trump is no real Republican, etc, I don’t buy it. He’s exactly what they need to ram through the end times here. I mean, seriously, it’s been a couple of weeks and they’re not even hiding that they want to screw over everybody but the big money people. That…

Except, you know, Obama wasn’t coming for their guns and ushering in Sharia law and turning over the US to the UN, et cetera, and the completely unamerican shithead Republicans ARE fundamentally undoing democracy. No ethics oversight, corporatism at every level, undoing health care, women’s health funding, our…

Of course there’s profit. We’re seeing the end of the United States as everything — everything — is transferred to corporate control. They’re not even fig-leafing it anymore. Trump isn’t an outlier with no real ties to modern Republicanism, he’s their end-game. This is a coup from within, without a shot fired. It’s…

Okay, I fail to see how legitimizing what’s happening in this country is serving this country. I’m an old fart and over the decades, I’ve watched one party lurch further & further away from every single tenet I believed made my country stand tall. I’ve listened to how we need a peaceful transition of power and how we…

Thing is, for the (at least) 2 years they’ll have control of everything, they will ruin a lot of good things, and at least some people will not make it. I can’t be the only one who looked at those celebrating frat-boy types last night/this morning and thought, “oh my god, they’re all bullies and now they have license…

Sinclair Lewis was right about it : fascism will come to America wrapped in the flag.

I think some folks did, last night.

Not this white woman. I am extremely upset, mostly because I know people will die because of Republican policies that will be enacting asap. This is awful.
