Beware the Propaganda! An American living in a red / pink district. I hate totalitarian despots. I read books on the Spanish Civil War a lot. We are a lot closer to that conflict than people think.

This is Biden's fault. He could have appointed Sally Yeats who would have cleaned Trump's clock. Nope!

I want all the old Dems, Joe, Nancy, Bernie, Hillary, Steny, Clyde gone.
If you are too old for a heart transplant you are too old for Senate, President or be a Judge.
Tonight is the State of the Union. To watch will provide the totalitarian the fuel he needs to validate his position. Boycott the cable news coverage and the speech

Return to work has nothing to do with synergy or increased productivity. It has everything to do with preventing the commercial real estate from declining. Banks don't want to be on the hook when their buildings are empty with no one renting.

Fascinating to watch American Chicken farmers who, during the pandemic, refused to wear masks in public, are donning PPE in coops to prevent the spread bird flu and save chickens.
Would they submit to vaccination of the birds of themselves?

"Any jackass can knock down a barn. It takes a team of carpenters to build one."

The federal government is being destroyed before our eyes. This was planned for decades by a few. Get involved, attend meetings, demand action support your local Govt and local media. It is the only way now.

Unless they are true sociopaths, the ICE agents separating families will be haunted by their cruel actions. They will use the defense of Nazi soldiers "I am doing my job." But as they age they will have to deal with their decedents questions and societal judgement and their lack of morals

When it comes to defeating the totalitarian patience and diligence is key.
Don't let up. Call them out and call them the totalitarians or something else.
MAGA is their name. Using MAGA is a compliment to them. It validates them.

Not all Democrats think the same. MAGA wants to create and perpetrate the myth of propaganda that all Dems are are far left.
Their message is lazy and ignorant and convenient for group think. It is designed to put Dems on the defense.
Dems don't let them define you. Express yourself

Propaganda is built on mankind believing in a collective myth. Those myths are called work, youth, nation, happiness, and hero. Propaganda is built on man's holding these myths. Without these myths, no one would begin to listen to propaganda - Jacques Ellul

"Propaganda stops when the message has become simplified." Jacques Ellul.

In other words the simple message busting through from MAGA has already been delivered. The fighter of totalitarianism must be aware of the next message being programmed.
