		<description>Not too many people actually heard the speech.  It was broadcast live, but it wasn&#039;t on any of the 5 major broadcast networks--at least not where I live, a major metropolitan area.  I had to listen to it on Public Radio.  I&#039;m sure it was carried by cable news, but the people who listen to cable news have already made up their minds.

Still, it was good to see that the Democrats have finally quit turning the other cheek.  Maybe now the Mainstream Media will finally get the balls to do the same.</description>

		<description>...even if clearly by accident, disease, or even old age, the Fascist Universe will spin it into an assassination conspiracy by Liberals designed to victimize them. They will make a martyr out of him, and he will live forever.

No, I hope he lives many, many more years, declining gradually into a drooling, pathetic and very public senility.

If Trump does die by a violent act, I don&#039;t think the violence will have its origin on the Left.  It will be from the Right, from his own hangers-on and fellow travelers who will seek to inflame his followers with conspiracy theories.  The motive will be to remove him so they can step into his shoes.  I can think of a half-dozen names I see as perfectly capable of doing this.  It won&#039;t be an American Brutus, it will be more of a Roy Cohn, Joe McCarthy moment. It will be designed to look like a Leftist plot, and its motivation will be to propel his assassins to power.

Remember the Manchurian Candidate?

		<description>We, as a democracy, need to make them pariahs- they must be scorned, reviled- held up as an example to their children and grandchildren of what NOT to be.

The speech was good, but WAY late in the game, it is a start though and there needs to be ruthless, but constitutionally legal, follow-through.

You don&#039;t defeat fascism by being kind, trying to find &#039;common ground&#039;. You don&#039;t defeat it by beating it in a few election cycles... you defeat it by the vast bulk of society treating it with scorn, derision and disgust. If you do that then you can have a chance for a couple generations to be free of it before people forget and the disease starts to fester again.

Such harsh action is not just required by morality... it is a matter of survival... because these diseased bastards will happily march the most vulnerable of our society into camps if given the chance.

You think that is hyperbole?
&lt;blockquote&gt;A supporter of Kari Lake, the Trump-endorsed, newly-declared winner of last week’s Republican gubernatorial primary in Arizona, has called for the forced relocation of LGBTQ people to camps in an effort to stop the spread of the monkeypox virus.

Ethan Schmidt-Crockett declared in a video posted to Patriot Takes on Twitter: “We need to quarantine and isolate all the folks of the LGBT community. We need to find all of them. We need to hunt them down and put them into isolation camps for their own protection.”

Of the government, Schmidt-Crockett asks: “How come they’re not taking precautions advocating against reprobate fornication?”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And the Q-anon cult has masturbatory fantasies of rounding up liberals and executing them for their God-Emperor Trump...

I still think the fascists will probably win, and within a few years- but I am starting to see signs - hopefully not mirages- that we will make them fight for that &#039;victory&#039;.

Win or lose, the next few years will be VERY ugly... and the next few decades will be even worse.

Fascism IS coming, but if we are VERY lucky we might put it off for a few decades... I really doubt it, but its worth fighting for... even if its a doomed cause.</description>

		<description>...Those words need to be repeated over and over, until someday, hopefully very soon, Trump will be dead (yes I said it and I mean it, but not by violence).  A period of time after that the GOP might return to it&#039;s crusty old self.  They will still suck ass but they won&#039;t be a threat to our constitution.</description>
