The biggest one thing we could do, after modifying the Electoral Count Law & passing voting rights this year…would be to rid ourselves of the evening Propagandists at FOX. They’ve poisoned the minds of 35-45% of our Nation.
Please help me understand where current law enforcement fits in. Isn’t it illegal to call for and pursue insurrection? Why is Bannon able to lay out a clear plan to topple our democracy and then go out to dinner? Why are the wealthy elite funding this effort allowed to fund it? I see the danger. I don’t need to wake up. I need to know what an average law-abiding person can do about it. Should we be pressuring electeds to act, news organizations to report on the danger, democracy supporters to donate to democrats at every level in every state? Urging businesses to understand that all bets are off for freedom to earn profits in an authoritarian state so they best stop funding Republicans? Is it too late for all that?
I believe Bannon (and Laura Ingraham) are the architects of a lot of Trump's twisted thinking and beliefs.
I so appreciated Ruth saying today that we have to repeat our messages over and over. Everything else gets lost in the relentless noise and lies we hear every day. Plus, Americans aren't the deepest of thinkers. The repetition is ESSENTIAL and the message should be simple and emotional. The eliteist of the elites on the right understand this.
I just recently discovered the fabulous Ruth Ben-Ghiat, another American female truth-warrior who has leapt to the defense our precious and imperiled Democratic Republic. I have subscribed to her newsletter, Lucid, at the $5/Mo. deal and when I opened it I was very pleased to see a conversation between Ruth and the great Malcolm Nance. I feel like I know this amazing fellow as I own all of his several excellent books. It was somewhat comforting to read what Malcolm wrote, that the American military will stand up to the coming white trash insurgency and crush it. As a thirty-year veteran of Naval Intelligence, Malcolm knows the military very well and when he says what he says about its inherent resistance to political extremism I tend think he knows whereof he writes. Folks, it is now the time for all good women and men to come to the aid of their country, to paraphrase the typing class drill I recall from high school more than five decades ago. We must, to paraphrase Gandalf standing on the ramparts of a besieged Minas Tirith, throw these foul creatures back into the abyss at the polls in the fall of 2022. Our electoral victory needs to be overwhelming!
Yep, sociopaths lie and have no empathy for others. Psychopaths seem to be even more destructive to others. Thanks for reminding us....most of us were saying sociopath very early in the 2015-16 debate cycle, and I blocked him on Twitter as soon as he attacked ex-Gov Bush as I could see the sociopathy and won't put up with liars in my midst.
I have been writing to my friends for the last 3 years that Donald J. Tramp (intentional spelling) is a Dictator in waiting. And Putin has been pulling strings for him behind the scenes. And Facebook is a co-conspirator and obviously Fox News and the other DARK media are too. And why the hell was Pence, Michael (not the good one) in Hungary kissing ass with Victor Orban?
Tagging on to the last line: "And don't forget environmental collapse." The enemy is us, that's easy to see. The answer is not, but I know that it entails a systemic change from permanent hierarchy to flexible heterarchical forms of local governance.
Ever since Trump said he was running, and then became the choice of the Republican party , I knew he could win and I already had a pit in my stomach. I've been in amazement how people fall for his ignorant comments and rants but then I realize they are my neighbors, even some family members can see "his side"....He's a dangerous man leading people who feel that they are victims and feel "the other people" , the immigrants, people of color or different religion are taking advantage and taking over. My mom survived world war II. She was a war bride from England and my Dad served there. When people, when countries look the other way at the evil , no matter how salient, is rising, there is danger for all. I hope and pray we don't continue to look away.
Because we know that Trump, Kevin McCarthy, and many others are unfit intellectually to lead a nation with no Constitution, chaos, violence, are followers also remotely aware that nothing good can come from a Trump tyrannical reign?
I would like to know what we citizens should do right now. I have studied totalitarian regimes for years, and I fear we have tipped into a dangerous crevasse. If the Dems won’t move to prosecute, quickly, I believe we are through. Other than pressuring the Democrats and Garland, what else is there? We are awake. But we need leaders to lead.
MN has been crying the alarm since long before the 2016 election. Ignoring his voice will be the end of our experiment. As long as Americans can get their coffee and hamburgers with no problem they think its all OK. Unfortunately those on the radical right have responded to the fears and hate engendered by Bannon, Steven Miller, Mike Pompeo and their ilk. Reality seems to be a vague threat rather than the imminent danger it is.
Bannon's hero is Mussolini and I see Bannon as a far right authoritarian, a fascist leaning radical. I disagree with Nance, in his statement, "This is a man who believes in essentially a form of Marxist-Leninism". Historically, fascists have been very anti-Marxist. Our radical Republican movement is far right and fascist leaning.
I do however agree with Nance's sense of urgency this nation faces. Complacency in the face of radicalism will lead to failure.
Great interview. Love M.N. I look forward to seeing him in his regular time slot every Wednesday morning on the Stephanie Miller show. M.N. has been screaming from the roof tops warning us about the dangers of Trump and Bannon since day one. He must at times feel like a Cassandra warning us over and over. I'm reminded of a Soren Kierkegaard quote; "A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.”

This interview is what I have been waiting for. Two amazing minds expressing the truth which has to be heard.
Ever since Trump said he was running, and then became the choice of the Republican party , I knew he could win and I already had a pit in my stomach. I've been in amazement how people fall for his ignorant comments and rants but then I realize they are my neighbors, even some family members can see "his side"....He's a dangerous man leading people who feel that they are victims and feel "the other people" , the immigrants, people of color or different religion are taking advantage and taking over.

As someone who voted for Biden and will never vote blue again I think you are all really out of touch with the mood.
Because we know that Trump, Kevin McCarthy, and many others are unfit intellectually to lead a nation with no Constitution, chaos, violence, are followers also remotely aware that nothing good can come from a Trump tyrannical reign?
Vote blue or it could be the end of you…
