It's seems like I heard FOX news starting to get critical of Trump as much as a year ago or more. I never understood why.  I thought maybe their political commentary had limits on how much bullshit it could report as news.  But that seemed too out of character to be a satisfactory explanation.  I can understand better why the Trump knuckle draggers would rebel against FOX, since it's just not the news they want to hear.  To me is looks like all part of the public hysteria that tends to run through American society.

They had a partial change in ownership (Roger Ailes died), fired O'Reilly etc ... after they were shown the real Zapruder film ;-)  Rupert Murdoch is the greatest yellow journalist since William Randolph Hearst.

I keep thinking about Atwood’s “The Handmaid Tale” and wondering if we are slowly heading that way. Dam good book if you never read it.

I've been expecting for a while that America would become a theocracy, but for now it's still incremental, boiling the frog slowly. But it may not stay that way for long, given the huge number of people who want an authoritarian system based on biblical law. Those are the ones who have never read their Bibles. The form a theocracy might take is hard to see, though.

That implies an interest in science.  Maybe more like a poorly-controlled demon.

So,.... communism?

Technically, in the US commonwealth refers to several states including VA, MA, PA.  In British terms it refers to a defunct organization that replaced the British Empire, but was itself replaced by GB being F****d by Germany and France.

Communism is good.  Nobody has to work.  Everything will be free (to use) and free (of cost).  No need to use of petroleum because cold fusion and warp drive are real.  Wakanda!

Correct.  You put an extract of the Communist Manifesto on paper, put that into the head of a clay homunculus and say magic Marxist words over him ...

In an alternative universe, Pat Robertson took over the US in 1988 (I was afraid of that too).  Back, back into the 80s with you!

Actually VP Pence could still do that.  So pray your Hail Marx on your proletarian beads.  There might not be a million at the march yesterday, but there are 71 million Trump voters who want to put y'all on Comet Pizza.

"Even asking that makes you a racist, misogynistic transphobe--you fascist!" ... no intelligent life on this planet, just posers.

I don't think a million MAGAs showed up...
I get that it's hard for MAGAs to accept a Biden win.  After all their voter suppression, gerrymandering, and undermining the mail, the only way Democrats could have won was by cheating.

Y'all never accepted the Lincoln win (twice) or the Trump win in 2016 ... why should the MAGA people let any of you vote again?  You admit cheating?  To Venezuela with you! ;-)

Democrats have never suppressed voting, gerrymandered, tried to destroy the Post Office (Feinstein and her husband).  Of course the Republicans cheat too ... both of you are "deplorables" ;-))

Million MAGA, hell.  I'd bet they didn't have a million teeth among them.

There is clearly a level of denial among some Trump supporters but I think many of them genuinely don't understand how Biden won because they are in an information bubble perpetuated by social media, news aggregators, biased news agencies, and like-minded associates. It's very difficult to navigate the political situation with so much misinformation and a social climate of high anxiety. It's worrisome to me that so many people on one side of the political divide appear to sincerely not understand why the other side voted for their candidate. Because they don't understand, there are people who think supporters of the other candidate are not merely wrong on the issues but have bad intentions. Most people are not malevolent, they have different values and priorities.

I admit sometimes when I hear people complaining about "socialism" and government regulation I think: okay, let's get rid of Medicare, Medicaid, and social security. When you arrive at the emergency department with a broken leg, registration will say "We estimate the cost of treatment to be $7989 dollars. Will that be cash or credit card? You don't have the money? Sorry. Please try not to bleed on our floors on your way out." Hospitals treat the uninsured and indigent is because the government requires it.
