60. The Romans used to fill the Colosseum

to watch lions devour Christians.

American racists used to have picnics and bring their children to watch lynchings.

Some people pull the wings off flies.

It's nothing new. These worthless, evil, psychopaths have been around since the first slimy amphibian crawled through the muck and started walking erect.

The difference today, is a minority of voters, in the right electoral majority of states, gave these psychopaths a trifecta of state power.

It's part of the reason I am on and support the LEFT political side. I know that, despite ANY flaws the "left" may have, they would NEVER govern in this authoritarian fascist way.

Their own voters would be the first to rise up and put a stop to it.
