Thanks for this piece. This may sound a bit weird, maybe not clear thinking an, , but by allowing and confirming the insurrectionist Trump's election, Congress and SCOTUS seem to have violated the very constitution they have sworn to uphold, and thus paved the way for the establishment of a fascist regime.

A return season. An actual return season for this lethal maniac.

And as we speak, the Weimar/Vichy Dems of California are falling all over themselves to try to get the orange monstrosity killer/rapist to come to California to see the devastation, as if that would do anything but give him wet dreams and ammunition to keep blaming Californians for this apocalyptic situation, after he referred to Gov. Newsom as “newscum “.

I hope that readers paid at least as much attention to the part of this essay on WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CHANGE THIS HORROR (make revolution, create a whole new system) as your complete and 100% accurate description of where things currently stand. It’s an overwhelming weakness that decent people tend to live in the problem but avoid engaging with solutions that require they step out of their comfort zones. That becomes clear when looking through the huge number of anti-Trump groups on Facebook, where short memes and cartoons about trump get thousands of likes, while those about rising up to defeat fascism outside of “just vote!” go largely ignored.

Thanks again Paul for all your great work.

A resounding YES with every tear spilled, every ache in my core for those big beautiful cats and every other creature in the wild having to endure this torture; they ARE the most deserving of the planet and a gift to us all. Most don't give them a passing thought. Rips me up.
