When I tell people it's obvious Trump is trying to create a fascist dictatorship, they grow quiet and uncomfortable. They don't argue with me because they know it's true. Even so, they hate hearing it. Because it makes them feel helpless. But we're not helpless. Get active now, while you can.

Like Nazi-ally Lindbergh, today's "America Firsters" claim to be peaceniks. They are actually pro-dictatorship and pro-international disorder. That is evinced in the incoherent/contradictory responses of Trump and his cronies to the events in the Middle East.
We keep hearing credulous pundits say MAGA is "antiwar." So how many MAGA Republicans will support the new resolution requiring Trump to get congressional authorization for war with Iran?
