13. Very important info. Thanks. Here's my worry. It seems part of the RW plan for ages, but now on steroids, is to do

so many horrible, outrageous things at such a fast pace (flood the zone, Gish Gallup-style talk and action) that the average person simply cannot comprehend or believe it. I'm sure that is a huge part of their plan. Surely part of authoritarian fascist playbook for ever. Goebbels knew.

Without media standing up for democracy (as the NYTs director recently said is not their job!) and bravely, intelligently presenting the crisis as the fucking existential crisis it is, I'm not sure we can make it clear to MAGAts and even other less cultish RWers what is really happening.

The only hope may be that when they are directly affected, they will finally realize it's not the poor who are taking their money. Unfortunately, by then it may be too late. And the rest of us who tried to warn them will suffer terrible losses.
