We Are Witnessing All The Horrors Of GOP Rule Hourly. We ARE IN A National Crisis.

I believe this shut down caused by the machinations of the neoNazi GOP is really the first signal of a looming national crisis. It signals a drive for total dictatorship of one party who is basing its power on more active pogroms against anything that is NOT support of the GOP agenda.

Even now there is evidence that they are embracing Russian aid and bots to deliver their propaganda. The recent GOP messaging to the public that has been supported by the Russians directly on social media is real conspiracy. In fact the GOP is embracing and conspiring with the Russians to game 2018.

The flood of lies and distortion is escalating. The daily White House briefing are right out of Goebbles. And the media is doing nothing. The media should completely boycott this daily briefing. It is only serving to continue the propaganda stream.

In the end it may take open civil disobedience aimed right at the GOP itself very similar to the Vietnam era. the 2018 fight will be the biggest fight in our history. We will have to cajole the media to go after the GOP. Right now they are mostly lame.

What they want is to physically lock the Democrats out of the Capitol. Doing it politically is not good enough.

They want to imprison anyone who disagrees with them.
Straight out of the fascist playbook - saying that is HOT hyperbole anymore.

The largest failure is one of not anticipating where they are going or what they will do. Looking in the margins will reveal where we are going. There are a lot of events happening on the perimeters of society that are canary indicators. The unseen actions at ICE say a lot. There are a lot of secret detentions and deportations.

These decorations are not just about undocumented workers. They send a larger signal by their tactics.

By focusing on the details we're missing the bigger picture of the massive damage to the fundamental foundation of the US.
