(6,699 posts)24. You got me dead to rights. I hate fascism.
It's the constant fear of false arrest, the knock at the door and prison without trial, the beatings and abuse by LEO's , forced labor. But what I hate more is not preventing it when it's obviously on the menu. Uninformed, otherwise good people cannot defend themselves without motivation. The kind that cannot come without realization of what's happening and what's at stake. Thomas Paine has been given much credit for the success of the American revolution but he was ultimately merely a pamphleteer, the lowest sort of journalist. This is my question then. Shall we let Tucker Carlson dictate the terms upon which our democracy is eviscerated? Without a discouraging word? And a very happy Thanksgiving day to you.

Only the foot soldiers are criminally liable it seems. Not the commanding officers.
