So despite overwhelmingly supporting Donald Trump in both 2020 and 2024, the Republican-majority counties of Allegany and Garrett in Western Maryland were denied federal disaster aid. Their Maga loyalty was rewarded with rejection during a crisis.

The Nazis often appropriated earlier art works from Romantic, Classical, and Realist traditions. The intention was to glorify the "Volk" (people) in ethnic, racial, and national terms: rural, pure, ancestral, and anti-modern. It formed an emotional and spiritual connection to Nazi racial ideology.

This old classic should be revisited, given the alarming Maga environment. The author exposes how 19th-century U.S. expansionism was immersed in racial ideology, essential for understanding Maga rhetoric on nationalism, anti-immigration, and white identity politics.

Justice Jackson: "Eventually, executive power will become completely uncontainable, and our beloved Constitutional Republic will be no more" . . ."this Court's complicity in the creation of a culture of disdain for lower courts, their rulings, and the law (. . . ) will surely hasten the downfall."

When people fear that neighbors, coworkers, or family may report them, it is more difficult to organize resistance.
If you think you’re being watched, you're less likely to speak out. Surveillance expands. Citizens become agents of the state. Even failing to report someone can be treated as a crime.

Let's not forget her promotion of the Blood And Soil Nazi theme.

Let's not forget her promotion of the Blood And Soil Nazi theme.
"Blut und Boden" (blood and soil) was popularized by Richard W. Darré, a Nazi ideologue and head of the SS Race and Settlement Office. It embraced the Nazi idea that ethnic purity (blood) and mythic connection to land (soil) form the basis of a pure Germany. And so the Pentagon Press Secretary.

1920s Republican immigration policy formed a national origins quota system favoring immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, restricting those from Southern and Eastern Europe, and barred most Asian immigrants.
It was a eugenics influenced idea of preserving a white, Anglo-Saxon demographic.
