The pardons if these fascist stormtrooper should also stand as a clear warning of what is to come. Many many people are in shock over developments and it is only day 3 from his crowning. The cliff notes of what’s in store are laid out in Project 2025. Underestimating this Anerican fascism will end up suffocating resistance. Also, while asking for “mercy” is not what is needed, I think your thrashing of the priest is not right. This took a great deal of courage on her part given this was the i augural’snational prayer service. She is receiving death threats and the wrath of Trump. She should be seen as potentially part of a broad united front and the faith-based opposition will speak in religious terms, tho some will go much further in more of the tradition of liberation theology. How about extending a hand and making friendly comments? In any case, greatly appreciate your commentaries!
"Thrashing" is way too strong. I don't believe in appealing to rulers of any kind, including of course fascists. I know very well that my take on that episode is unpopular. That's okay.
McConnell and McCarthy both made damning statements immediately following the insurrection. And yet, with in days they fell in line and blocked the impeachment. McCarthy soon appeared at Mar-A-Largo to kiss the ring. Then Biden stated nothing will change and made not a peep as Manchin and Sinema tanked his agenda inherited from Bernie. Even giving Manchin’s wife a cushy government appointment. Three years passed in silence as Merrick Garland did nothing when those with any awareness were asking “What the hell?” Then came 10/07 and the ensuing and endless genocide. As Paul has repeatedly pointed out the constitution clearly states no one engaging in insurrection may hold a position in government. Where was the pushback throughout Trump’s long campaign to return to power? Nonexistent. Here we are. A failed Republic tainted by class rule and slavery from its inception. Paul is an academic. For many of the rest of us, we are waking up to that which is the late great USA
Thanks but not an academic. Covid marked the end of my teaching days in May of 2020 and that was after less than two years back in a classroom after a 12 year absence.
You are an academic in that you have the learned knowledge not present in the general public. Whether you have been in a classroom or not doesn’t invalidate it. (I am being blocked from posting my reply as my profile will not accept update. Something weird going on.). Well, my minor reply finally went through. Just be aware that there may be shenanigans.
Yet when after it's all said, 77 million folks got him into POTUS. I know from your writings and others revolutions are triggered spontaneously by some event. Do you think we'll see a country wide mass revolt/protest in the next 4 years.
