I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

If two presidents colluding on TV to resurrect and profit from kidnapping and slavery in the middle of Passover isn't antisemitic I don't know what is. After a Pesach arson. We are in hell.
