It's not interesting. It's the most boring and lazy version of the fascism that has taken hold of the U.S. gov't. It's par for the course. This cognitive dissonance of the conservative has been a feature for decades. Time to stop examining the fascism, and fight it, literally.

MAGA is ignoring the courts, ignoring the laws, and ignoring the will of the people. It already trashed a core tenet of our Constitution so eloquently outlined by President Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address, that the government is supposed to be "of the people, by the people, and for the people!"

Now is the time of the American Partisans because #fascism is not a clear and present danger; it has already taken control! #DefundElonMusk #DumpTrump #DefundKrasnov

Nor can the American people cannot sit idly by while waiting for a political apparatus so unrepresentative of their interests to come to its senses and promise change only when it feels its life is in danger, or when it's already allowed so many of their lives to be put in danger.

The Democrats should be clogging the courts with lawsuits to make themselves unavoidable nuisances. They should put their careers on the cogs of the machine, to paraphrase Mario Savio's famous speech at Berkeley in '64. Grind this machine to a halt, make good trouble whenever and however they can!

The solution forward isn't for Democrats to keep capitulating, which drags them further right, it's to finally draw a line and say "no more". We twill show up if they do. We will rally, vote, and donate, but only after we see a genuine shift to the left even at the cost of pain ala shut downs.

Most "right" politicians don't fall slightly right of center because the center is #Democrat space, you have to start going waaaaay over to the right to find most #Republican politicians. They also have an abysmal number of far/fringe-right politicians in actual office.

The #propaganda of persecution claimed by the conservatives only really works if you understand what they mean in the context of this political spectrum outlined.

That's been the Democratic Party strategy since I've been alive, that's not new. It's a centrist party, not a left party. The "progressive" bloc within it is just slightly left of center, not actually left. No one in office is far-left, and there are just a handful of more-left-than-center.

Whatever it is, you can count on a subservient Trump to enable it.

The #Oscars can just be a plain-text email; a spreadsheet attachment at the most.

Etsy is great only as a search engine to find makers, but you have to sift through so much mass-produced crap these days. Same for Makerplace from Michaels, although it's newer so it hasn't been overrun, yet.

The tricky thing about "[company] owns [company]" is that it's not always so simple. Chewy is mostly a private company that acts like a public company by selling a tiny portion of it's total stock. "BC Partners" owns Chewy, and that is basically useless info.

I'm reminded of the production of chocolate statistics and rations in "1984"
