  • lol you think he US doesn’t have an intellectual class? Just one big country of dummos, huh? The portrayal of the US and the shape of our leadership definitely makes it seem that way but there are a massive number of intellectuals in the US. The current admin is trying to drive them out (or at least inadvertently doing so), but they are certainly a reality. Funnily enough, a huge number of them are first or second gen immigrants because the intellectually inclined would come here for the school and the opportunities.

    Don’t conflate the caricature with the character.














  • “So many ‘conservatives’ are just salivating over the thought of being able to break windows and openly Sieg Heil in public,” she claimed. “These people hate Trump because he won’t Sieg Heil with them. He won’t scream Alle Juden Raus! And deep down, they hate him for that.”

    She really doesn’t get it. Even trump is smart enough to know even he doesn’t have the latitude to “openly Sieg Heil.” The mask has slipped so far from right wing faces that his dumbest supporters think it’s now fine to openly fly their Nazi colors, but the heritage foundation and the like (kochs, Murdoch, et al) are trying to slam on the brakes and pull them back from the brink. But this is a runaway train and she may be right that we’ll have an open Nazi party in ten years time. But she doesn’t seem to grasp the nuance of what’s happening.
