The flowering of American Nazism is far more dangerous today than in the 1930's, because it's being spread by a former President. Trump's invasion / infestation / vermin framing of social, political, and economic conflict is straight-up Nazi. Just google to view the vile Nazi propaganda film, "Der Ewige Jude," which, sadly, is not difficult to find. If shown at a Trump rally, it would likely receive a standing ovation. As repugnant as this film is, anyone concerned about contemporary American politics needs to understand its roots. For the same reason, I recommend reading "Mein Kampf."

The concepts and institutions of American slavery were inspiring and instructive to Hitler. Today, Nazi concepts and policies are, in turn, being revived by Trump and his followers. Monstrous racialized politics has merely ebbed and flowed in slightly different forms in different precincts of Western civilization for 400 years. It has never disappeared.

My soon to be 7 year old loves the dog pictures Charlie. I hate to say. I was the only one of 7 students who actually took a college civics course. The other 500 kids in my class barely could name the first President.

Wait, Charlie ... didn't you vote for Biden?

Ah ... ok. He misspoke in the beginning saying that this is the first time he'd be voting for a Democrat. He later confirmed voting for Biden.

To the Bulwark journalists: I’m a partisan Democrat who lives in coastal California. When you began this enterprise, I often wondered if I would’ve had the same courage/ fortitude to break from my Party like you all have done. (Though I did reject Bernie in 2016 because his followers often acted as if they were part of a cult.)

On the eve of this shit storm of an election, possibly our last, I just want to thank you all for sticking with this project, day after day. But most of all, thank you for showing me what we have in common— our devotion to the Constitution, the rule of law, and the promise of a democratically governed America.

RE: Chicken Trump

That Trump is too chicken to debate, or be interviewed by 60 Minutes and CNN needs to be driven home. Again and again. Loudmouth Don isn't a macho man but a skeered chicken.

Amazon sells an 8 foot tall, inflatable chicken costume for $40. Add a long red tie and fluffy yellow hair (Joanne Fabrics) and Chicken Trump is ready to rally in your neighborhood. Who is up for a Chicken Trump costume challenge?
