I would say that everything X said 60 years ago still rings true today. Having the daughter of the evilest American politician of the 90's and 00's ask for a pat on the back for sometimes criticizing Trump is insulting. Liberals will continue to drag us into fascism all in the name of "compromising" with conservatives, as if the entire party isn't ready to goose-step their way up Capitol Hill in January.
I'm trying to imagine what re-education would look like, in our current environment. A violent revolution may turn against us. It seems the Cuban revolutionaries were financed, at least in part, by wealthy individuals, but in* the United States today, the fascists could very well take absolute control, and use it as a means to make our situation much more dire than it currently is. The only thing I can come up with is winning a few more open-minded wealthy individuals to heavily donate for school not within government control, but exceeds standards of government education,and clinics that are completely free, that do the same. I'm having trouble even imagining how that would work, without being shut down, trying to operate under a legal framework.
