The US is closer to "brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before," she said.

      Isn’t their only 53 Republican senators? Should be easier to remember the 1 that didn’t vote for it, and maybe found out if they just called in sick

        Appears it was McConnell, which makes sense because he broke with the Party over posturing towards Russia if I recall correctly.

    Well I can agree with the general concept, we are closer than ever to the brink of a nuke being dropped on US soil. Because the only time anyone has considered a situation important enough to drop a nuke, it was to stop an alliance of facists from wrecking the world.

      Fascism has always been the great enemy. Not a leader, not a country, not a people, not a religion. Fascism is part of being human, approximately 30% of the population has been found in studies to have fascist tendencies. They are not the majority, but they are common, they are powerful, they are malicious, and they always will be. And right now, a lot of them are also very, very rich.

      As long as fascism is part of being human, it will always be the responsibility of the other 70% to fight it. And it is a terrible responsibility, but it will never go away. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Only when we all get lazy and apathetic and divided and decadent and distracted can the fascist 30% actually take control. So that’s what they aim to make happen. Consider that only around 25% of the US population (not registered voters – the actual human beings who live in the country) actually voted for Trump. Voter apathy, disinformation, disillusionment, disenfranchisement, demographics, gerrymandering and more have been weaponized against the actual majority to turn 25% into a slim margin of absolute victory. Trump does not have majority support, and he never did, and he never will. Remember that.
