      This nation then reelected George w Bush while it brutally cracked down on protests and got super extra racist real fast and just in time to go murder 170,000 people in two countries that didn’t attack us.

      It’s kind of hard to believe that she’s not sort of typical of American fascism. Our actions as a nation make it hard to believe that American fascism isn’t somehow incredibly widely tolerated and promoted.

      Then we had Donald Trump, and the entire court system seems to be utterly incapable of dealing with this level of corruption or criminality but the right wing and the neoliberal apologists who own most of the revenue driven media seem to think this is somehow okay.

      She’s enough of it to be a real problem.

      I’ll grant that most aren’t aware enough to make comments on McCarthy specifically, but they would if they could.

      Way too much of the country is running those things blue line flags and licking boots as hard as they can while thinking they’re doing the opposite.
