Every autocrat’s nightmare is the citizen who realizes he’s the hero. This issue of JHN will wake that hero up.

The tyrants have their playbook. Now you’ll have yours...drawn from Joseph Campbell’s timeless roadmap to courage.

and... "It creates a distinct aesthetic for the Trump movement, one in which even women in high-ranking positions have endeavored to make themselves look as doll-like as possible, lest anyone mistake them for professionals elevated by virtue of their experience and skills." Wow

All of this.
There is no difference between this moment and all the others we see in the rearview mirror of history and look back upon in disgust.

Our complacency is the same.
Our apathy is the same.
Our silence is the same.
Our culpability is the same.

AI is the ideal technology to accompany the decline of America.

It caters to the entitled, to those who have no desire to learn and think they know everything, it destroys creativity and critical thinking, and lays the cultural foundation for fascism.

Just imagine if Biden or Obama skipped the dignified transfer of fallen soldiers… to hit up a golf tournament.

Fox News would be in DEFCON 1 meltdown mode. The outrage would last weeks.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
