Is that what I said?

Edit: Owner of balls here, the muscle pain I felt in my arms (due to overexcercise) this morning was worse than getting kicked in the balls.

This makes me wonder if you've ever had an actual, on-target, ball shot. Because I find this incredibly hard to believe.

Ya'll have some weird GI systems...

I don’t know if any of that is true,

As someone who worked retail for many years when I was younger, I can assure you that it is absolutely true. People get up to insane shit in public restrooms.

"Due process only applies to citizens" is what they'll say. Which is bullshit, but that won't stop them from parroting it.

When you ask them how someone proves their citizenship while being arrested, they'll just get angry at you.

I feel like this isn't talked about enough... You guys are badasses for that shit.

That's the joke though... the picture is from a sketch where one Nazi officer tells another that he's starting to worry that they're the baddies, after he realizes that their hats have skulls on them.

Add to that several decades of constant far right propaganda disguised as news, and a massive rightward shift of the Overton Window, and you end up with brainwashed citizens willing to cheer this shit on.

Add to that the systematic dismantling of our public education system to ensure that people don't have the historical and political context to understand the implications of any of it.

They (The Heritage Foundation and their ilk, I guess) really learned a lot of lessons from the Third Reich... This is the culmination of decades of work for these people, and it is working as designed for the most part.

It's a very difficult trap to escape from. If not impossible.

Before we elected Trump, the fascism was still nascent. Ur-Fascism as Eco called it.

It's dishonest to pretend that this is the same level of fascism that we've been experiencing for decades. It's not. Trump and the Heritage Foundation kicked it into overdrive.

I prefer "stopped clock," since broken clocks can often continue ticking, albeit at the wrong speed.
