    My dad and my 20 year old son had their first political “discussion” before thanksgiving dinner tonight
    My dad said “you raised a boy with some strong opinions about things and he’s not afraid to stand up for em… I like that. Good job.”

      I have political discourse with my father all the time... we never get heated, and there is always an air of respect. We don't agree on a lot of things, but he never tells me I am wrong. Through those conversations, I feel like he has become more open-minded on many topics he would have flat out refused to support before. We still don't agree on many topics, but I know he has a good heart, and he raised me the same.

    These days it is not uncommon to see comments about Hitler's Germany, making comparisons with today's goings-on, refreshing our memory of past abhorrences that frighteningly echoes out in our society all too loudly today.
    It stirs more personal memories in many of us, too.
    I'm a Norwegian. My grandfather, working as a railroad maintenance man during the time of the German occupation, was by pure luck spared a very certain death when the Norwegian resistance, in a last minute change of plans, decided NOT to blow up the railroad where a German regiment were to travel. Same Germans who forced my grandfather to go before their train on this little contraption that he used (I do not remember what it is called), just so he would be the one blown into the air, were there to be any railroad "sabotage."
    This was before my mother was conceived (and her younger siblings).
    Sometimes when looking back on this episode in my family's history, I am very aware of how the existence of myself, my brother, our cousins, and innumerable more human beings, boils down to pure luck.
    And yes of course this somewhat personal experience/history, combined with reading loads of History, has me also very aware of what fascism looks and acts like.
    Added to that, I'm at the moment living in a South American Banana Republic, which nefarious, stupid, inept, and ruthless regime is sadly, tragically, becoming increasingly authoritarian.
    And this I'll say: Should trump get into the White House again, Banana Republics will become peanuts compared to his Covfefe Republic.
    And the first thing he'll embark on is a revenge spree, naturally, because that's his nature.
    Things will be ugly.
    Don't ever give him the chance, you good, sensible people of USA, *don't you ever give him that chance.*

      Things are ugly now with Trump running again in 2024. Like you stated, he has already mentioned what he plans to do if he does get back in the White House. I feel that his vengeance spree will be entirely MUCH WORSE. Think of a runaway train or an avalanche. Before it comes to its final end, it will destroy everything in its path. Nothing is spared along in the destruction. That is Trump. Trump doesn't care about this country. Trump only cares about Trump.

    I sat from 9:30am to 3am on January 6th/7th watching:
    First: the broadcast of the Stop the Steal Rally
    Second: I turned on C-Span to watch the counting of the votes live in the capitol.
    Third: When the mob started to turn into a riot outside I put on an amazingly curated Twitch stream with every live feed the streamer could find (this included a dozen or so videos from cell phones from people inside the building, rioters inside the building, but it also included Lisa Dejardins from NPR hiding behind a desk and transmitting the news with rioters feet away from her, and other similar streams from other news broadcasts). This was all AMAZING live video of people breaking windows and storming into the capitol. Incredible footage all happening in front of me, mostly broadcast by the actual rioters themselves.
    Fourth: The riot was contained after a few hours and Congress eventually went back into session. I saw several important Republican figures stand up and say “enough is enough”, most emphatically was Lindsey Graham, and then immediately watched as many of those congresspeople voted against certifying the election in what was the most chickenshit move I have probably ever seen. But they did it.
    Fifth: I watched Mike Pence follow his constitutional responsibilities and vote to certify the election to declare Biden the winner.
    I was absolutely exhausted. I watched, with my own eyes, as a mob literally overran the defenses at our capitol and nearly began summarily executing those political opponents that stood in their way. Some of the twitch streams I saw would later be on tv, but not all of them. The folks who say it was all a set up or that it wasn’t that bad didn’t see what I saw, they didn’t see people live streaming as they nearly took over our government. It was embarrassing, it was disgusting and it was scary. And three hours later Republican congresspeople were voting not to certify.
    History will record that day as a black mark on democracy and will judge it correctly, even if MAGA people right now don’t.

      At the risk of sounding morbid, there is one this working against Trump. His antics at undermining all the public health advice Faucci was giving out as he tried to save as many lives as he could, ended up affecting Trump supporters a hell of a lot more than it did those who oppose him. Even the 2022 elections noted a statistically significant drop in the number of GOP supporters voting. I guess ignoring the mask and vaccine mandates had the sort of affect on his cultists we usually see only in the Darwin awards.
