Not seeing the root causes rather blame those they don't feel comfortable with.
Long after Trump the country will dealing with them. We are still fighting over the Civil War! Look how the tea Party has morphed....

This group has been arming and planning for a war. We had better be prepared.
They have warned us multiple times what to expect.


Say what you will about the GOP, they really know their target audience.

Some commentators I've read say that when fascist pressure gets as big as it already is here, there's no stopping it. But still up in the air how bad it will get. Worst case is when fascists have success in foreign wars. All the restraints come off after that. If Biden is going to get us into a new war in the Middle East, best he wins it fast.

You're meme is absolutely correct.

I believe Mr. Money is Bernanke. Correct ?

Just had a conversation with one of my 'besties' at Walmart. He thinks Donald Trump is stopping fetuses' from being put into blenders. And Trump slaughtered ISIS (I guess with those cruise missiles into Syria).

I'm sure he doesn't like my Sharice Davids sign in the front yard.

He and I agree that the devil rules the world.

Nothing like believing in the devil to open the gates to believing anything. We are biased to begin with to think that dangerous enemies are a big worry. If there's one that is consummately evil, and has supernatural powers too, that can answer the questions that plague most conspiracy theories: why would they do something that rotten, and how can they pull it off?

Exactly.

The source of all this evil is not some imaginary supernatural being, but just simply other humans.

It is therefore within our capability to stop it.

I would not believe it myself, if I had not seen it. More than once.

Could be. OTOH, it could be that Tacopina saw Trump's self-destructive, contempt-inviting antics in Judge Engoron's courtroom, followed by him badmouthing Judge Kaplan (a tougher, no-nonsense Federal judge) just before the beginning of the 2nd E. Jean Carroll trial. And unlike Alina Habba, Tacopina is actually a accomplished, successful defense counsel and not a pretty PR hack.
