Neo-fascist leaders and their movements are ever more prevalent and powerful in 2026 because so-called low-education voters are ever more prevalent and easily led.

(Aug. 12, 2020) — I’m starting to wonder whether Donald Trump’s subconcious is trying to tell us something important. To be specific, I’m worried he might have killed some young woman early in this century. Not sexually assaulted her. That’s something he’s apparently been doing, repeatedly, since the early 1980s.

(June 12, 2020) — With word that President Donald Trump planned to resume his in-person political rallies in Oklahoma next — on Juneteenth, a commemoration of slavery’s end and black America’s biggest secular holiday — the 40-year strategy of Republican dog-whistling finally came to a close. The event will take place here Tulsa, […]
