The MAGA Nightmare is Almost Over, America.
The sundowning of the MAGA movement is upon us.
The signs are everywhere.
As much as History can be an albatross in moments like these, alerting us to the terrifying ways in which we are repeating the past pathologies of inhumanity, she can also be a source of comfort; a reminder of the inevitability of the endings of all evil things.
If we consult her with a clear head, she’ll remind us that all brutal empires fall,
that all hateful movements dissolve, that every seemingly bulletproof regime reaches its extinction, and that all malevolent momentary victors eventually find themselves defeated and driven out.
Every time the pendulum has swung wildly toward barbarism in a society, it has invariably come back with even greater opposite force to bend the arc of the moral universe back toward justice again.
And History tells us that, despite the story in our heads or the one that comes through the partisan propaganda that we’re continually saturated by, our brutal national nightmare is likely in its final hours.

It's our job to minimize the damage and help bring about a swifter end.
The fascist playbook is powerfully uses resentment, racism, xenophobia, fake religion and shoddy sham nationalism (among others) to rile up the people and lose their decency, money, and even lives for the "Leader" and industrialist cadre.
Note to Trump: the German industrialists got off scot-free. Hitler didn't.
Here's the good and the bad.
I have always argued on principle, while noting that Democratic economies outperform Repubilcan ones. Nobody listens.
It's all in the propaganda. The cult was mesmerized into believing that Biden's revolutionary "bottom up" economy was in fact a depression, But the Trump Trash economy is well, a wreck.
And the lies are contradicting themselves in a way that's hard to ignore. Lies and denial are part of cult "culture" and some do break free when the contradictions are very clear
And well, .... the shit hits the fan. It's no longer fun and games when groceries are out of sight.
I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper lt does just fine by itself
