It is an incitement. An intimation to violence and a weapons grade rejection of John McCain who often said the honorific that meant most to him in a storied career was “my fellow American”. It is a call to war against Americans.

Last night on Fox, Ben Domenech described U.S. politics as a fight between "the enemies of everything this nation has ever been" and "the patriots, the Americans... who will do anything to preserve it," closing with, "what are you willing to do?" https://mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-news-host-progressive-left-today-inheritor-and-continuants-slave-power-yesterday…

Will you do violence? That is the question he is asking? Since @TuckerCarlson is in Budapest being celebrated as a leader of the “National Conservative Movement” it seems like it would be a good moment to take a breath and be honest about what this is. “Wide Awake” is a shout out

To the extremisneo Nazi’s and White Supremacists who have been “red pilled” and now see the “truth”. Defense of Civilization to preserve freedom is the new/old argument. It’s the justification for a racially and culturally superior minority to rule over a numerically greater

less than majority. The best part is that it comes from a self proclaimed patriot who unethically shilled for the Malaysian Government, receiving lots of money to print their propaganda. His words are intentional. They are the words of a zealot In service to a

low cause. Like the Bund members who placed a 40 foot high banner of George Washington behind the rostrum at Madison Square Garden and embossed the marquee with letters that spelled “Patriotic Event” the oft wrongly misattributed quote, “when fascism comes to America it will

be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross” I knew a man once. He could be a hard man, the type who had no delusions about reality. When others talked about seeing Putin’s soul in his eyes this man laughed and said he saw three letters. They were a KGB. If he read this crap

when I knew him it would have enraged, saddened and appalled him at a level I don’t quite have the words to explain. It would have broken his heart actually and he was as tough as they came.

3. "But now at last, you are wide awake."

Is he calling them "woke?" So, is that an insult or not?
