Reject GOP Fascism. Do not follow the lies of the Cult.
There are 14 points defining fascism according to Dr. Lawrence Britt: 1) near fanaticism with nationalism, 2) disdain for an individual’s human rights, 3) identification of enemies, i.e. black or brown people, 4) supremacy of the military, 5) rampant sexism, 6) attempted control of mass media, 7) obsession with security, i.e. walls, 8) church and state co-mingled, 9) protection of corporations, 10) suppression of labor unions, 11) no respect for the arts or intellectuals, 12) obsession with crime and punishment, 13) widespread corruption and cronyism, and 14) fraudulent elections.
Sound familiar? All we can do is Vote, Vote, Vote.

Sometimes satire isn't funny because it's too close to the reality

Do you make 400k a year?
And also, people should remember that income is taxes in a bracketed fashion in the United States. This means that only your income above $400k will be subject to any higher taxation:
Example: this is oversimplification for purposes of illustration, but say all income you make up to $400,000 is taxed at a flat 20% rate. Additionally, let's say the new Biden tax plan assesses any income above that at a 30% rate.
Say Bill makes right up to the limit of $400,000/year, and his neighbor, Julie makes $500,000/year.
Bill's taxes, without any deductions, would be $80,000 leaving him $320,000 net income.
Julie's taxes would also be $80,000 for the first $400,000 she earned, and an additional $30,000 for the additional $100,000 she earned above that. Julie's taxes would be $110,000, before any deductions, leaving her with $390,000 net income.
What doesn't happen is that when a person makes a single dollar more then the limit, their entire income gets taxed at the higher rate. That would be ridiculously unfair. If Julie had to pay 30% on all $500,000 she would be taxed $150,000, leaving her with a net income of only $350,000 which is only $30,000 more than Bill despite earning a gross salary of $100,000 more than he does. No one is suggesting we switch to such a punitive tax rate.

Funny how the last two Republican presidents were appointed, one by the Supreme Court and the other by the Russians.

We will hold them accountable.


They will not be able to claim they were against Trump all along. They were there. They said nothing. They voted in support of his ideas. They are culpable
To quote from the Man for All Seasons:
Cromwell: But, gentlemen of the jury, there are many kinds of silence. Consider first the silence of a man who is dead. Let us suppose we go into the room where he is laid out, and we listen: what do we hear? Silence. What does it betoken, this silence? Nothing; this is silence pure and simple. But let us take another case. Suppose I were to take a dagger from my sleeve and make to kill the prisoner with it; and my lordships there, instead of crying out for me to stop, maintained their silence. That would betoken! It would betoken a willingness that I should do it, and under the law, they will be guilty with me. So silence can, according to the circumstances, speak!
