This isn't Belarus. This isn't Myanmar. This isn't Russia. Such things are not in our collective DNA. There will always be 20 to 30% who need a daddy figure. But collectively, that's not how Americans roll. Notice how after the 2 murders in Minneapolis, the fascists backed it down several notches and Herr Miller went MIA. They know damn well we're not having it.

Granted, the repair job will be extensive. But we can build it back better than before if we'll only try. If we stop the Dem politics of the last couple decades and go back to our roots.
