I'm losing patience with this "democracy is dead" stuff. Nearly all of it's coming from white people, usually white men. Did they really think everything was peachy-keen before Trump was elected the first time? Did they all do just fine with Reaganomics? If people of color were this defeatist, we'd still be living with Jim Crow, and if women thought the founders got it right the first time, I wouldn't be able to vote.

Good point. Black people, specifically, have put out a few videos saying as much. "Bless your little hearts, white people. We're sorry all that fascism didn't work out for you, but don't expect us to step in and save your Cracker asses. Just take a seat next to us on the Humanity Bus and we'll all get wherever we're going, together."

Fascism hypercharged with racism, I'd say, or maybe vice versa. Toward the end of Isabel Wilkerson's (great!) book CASTE, she quotes civil rights scholar Taylor Branch as saying that white people in the U.S. have to choose between whiteness and democracy. My response so far: "The jury's still out on that one."

You aren't kidding Jeff. I had to come up with something that would breed hope more than it would breed fear and loathing. So much of what we are writing and reporting on doesn't give a ray of hope much. Yesterday, while fighting a pretty hard bout of depression, I decided to do something else instead.

https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-death-of-far-right-politics-and

I’m verklept. I see the “movie playing” also. I’d like to add a short story.

My uncle was a pilot in WWII. He was shot down in Germany and parachuted onto a farm near Schweinfurt. The farmer and his wife, frightened out of their wits, were ready to kill him on the spot. When a lone German soldier came looking for the downed plane, he found the farmer and his wife holding my uncle down as he was injured. The young soldier convinced the farmer to hand the prisoner over him. He took my uncle to the POW camp where he stayed for 2 years. The German soldier saved my uncle’s life, and my grandparents tried to find him to thank him. They never did get that chance. But they were always grateful. My uncle finished his military career as a Major in the USAF. He retired after 2 tours in Vietnam.

So German Soldier saves American Pilot’s life. There is hope.

Wow - great analysis. I need to bookmark it.

This stood out for me: When exactly was America "great"? The 1950s, when Black Americans lived under Jim Crow? The 1920s, before women could vote? The mythical "great" America is as fictional as the "pure" Germany of Nazi propaganda—both constructed from selective memories, whitewashed history, and outright lies that taste sweet to those hungry for simplistic solutions.

I've said this time and again - it was great for a few people and shit for many others. Those few didn't have to see or hear or know anything that made them uncomfortable.

Wow, Sharon, I think you nailed it. Beavis (Elmo) and Butthead (AnusMouthPantLoad) are now in the White House! Don’t know why I didn’t recognize that sooner.

You’re right, Outdoorluvr, we had no right and I apologize. There are so many other more derogatory names we could use.

Seven humongous blessings for $1k comes out to only $142.86 per, assuming the crystal cross is free. What a deal.

it's too bad you can't buy them a la carte, though. I only need three blessings, and don't want to pay for the four I can't use

Pay her only $428.57 and she will probably only confer three on you. I doubt that she gives freebies.

Maybe you could wrap them up in foil and store them in the freezer until you need one.

My favorite “granted wishes” joke: A genie offers a guy three wishes but the catch is the guy’s worst enemy gets double what he gets. So he wishes for a pile of gold. Genie says, granted but your worst enemy’s pile is twice as large. Guy then wishes for a harem of thirty gorgeous women. Sure, says the genie, but your enemy’s harem has 60 hotties. The guy thinks hard and says, Aha, make one of my testicles disappear!
