It does make Trumplestiltskin lose his shit and anything that can make him rage can also make him possibly drop dead of a coronary and I'm all for that.
That just means another fascist takes his place, possibly one that has less skeletons in their closet to make them rage in the way you'd like them to.
Not saying the world wouldn't be a bit better if he was gone, it just wouldn't make as much a difference as both his detractors and his supporters might presume.
This is true.
The problem is that we're at the end of a 40+ years long rollout of regressive social conservatism.
ALSO, the generational amnesia is settling in, now that the last of the WWII veterans and survivors of the NAZIs are all but extinct.
It's not a mystery why 20th century history regarding the sacrifices of Allies, and the reasons behind them haven't been taught in US History classes like it used to be.
I watch the various videos on youtube with the conservative kids in debates and I see lots of misinformation and distortions expressed in the things they say and believe. It tells me they never have known anyone that experienced the NAZIs or the Concentration camps.
I knew lots of people when I was a kid - many Jewish refugees that were teenagers who made it out of the camps and emigrated to America.
It wasn't unusual to see the number tattoos the Germans put on their forearms. That shit was real and it sucked and the kids today have no idea what it asked of German people - how they were expected to defile themselves morally and spiritually - and what it took from everyone that fought against it.
I fear that we're gonna come back around to this cycle of degradation and destruction sooner than we should.
