I have been a student of democracy for more than 50 years. I love my wife, animals, my garden, and my country. More than anything, I am a designer and builder of things that work for people.
Sums up the moment.
It’s kind of sad and scary to think that footage is being recorded today that will be used in future documentaries telling the story of the America’s decline into fascism.

And here we are, said in a manner most clear.
French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

The Republican dream has been to dismantle the modern federal government. This has been true since the 1930s. And now, finally, it will happen. We will return to a stripped-down US government, incapable of legislating and executing what Democrats think of as effective governance.

The reason Biden and the Democrats failed is fundamental: They were unable to move the Overton Window back toward democracy. Trump and MAGA need to be demonized in the same way Communism has been. They had four years to do it and utterly failed.

1- We need a new counter-fascist movement, and it must have clear demands. To start: NO FASCISM. Republicans are the Nazis of our time. These un-American sleazeballs, their party, and their fellow travelers belong in the dustbin of history, never to return.
