Please join me in this simple but essential commitment:

I am outraged by the rise of neo-fascism in America. Democracy cannot exist at the end of a gun. We must stand up to right-wing leaders who foment, glorify, and even perpetrate political violence.

It's impossible to argue that we are not in degraded times.  The only question left to be answered: will fascism win?  It's never possible to know the answer until it's revealed, but it's not looking good at the moment.  The public just doesn't care.

For the fascists, time is of the essence: The 2020 U.S. Census revealed a country that is (rounded off to the nearest whole percentage point) 60% white, 19% Hispanic*, 13% African-American, 6% Asian, and 2% "Indigenous American" (a category that now includes Hawaiians, Samoans etc. as well as American Indians and Alaskan Natives; i.e., the people formerly known as Eskimos).

*All persons who satisfy the criteria for designation as "Hispanic" are classified as such, irrespective of their other characteristics (i.e., skin color).

The point being that by 2040, or slightly later, the white share of the U.S. population will fall below 50% - a prospect that whites in general, and older whites in particular, are nothing short of paranoid about.

This is why the fascists have to make their move certainly within the next 20 years - and quite possibly within the next 10 years.

And when they do make that move, the Second Civil War will be at hand - and the left won't give a tinker's damn who they need to collaborate with, be it Russia, China, or even Iran, thus echoing the 2T's chants of "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh, NLF is gonna win" - just as the Social Gospel directly led to the New Deal, the abolitionist movement foreshadowed the Civil War, the colonial Great Awakening foreshadowed the American Revolution, the Puritan Awakening foreshadowed the Glorious Revolution (on both sides of the Atlantic), and the Reformation set the stage for the War of the Spanish Armada.
