1/ Euphemisms help normalize these men!
Trump isn’t just ‘uniquely bad’; Trump is a fascist’.
A president who uses his pulpit to mislead the electorate isn’t just ‘dishonest’; he’s propagandist!
The press better show some guts before these GOP fascists steal the next election

2/GOP FASCISTS hide in plain sight behind sham elections that provide them with a ‘fig leaf’ of democratic legitimacy.
They exploit our ‘civility’ and ‘sense of fair play’;
Bend the law until it breaks; and
Hide behind euphemisms that normalize their treachery.

3/Today’s fascists know that outright censorship is unnecessary, that their flood of fake news so pollutes the media that facts/truth become virtually irrelevant.Scapegoats,wealth inequality, race, and religion are weaponized to rally/divide an increasingly desperate electorate.
4/Huge tax cuts for the rich and Corporations that pay NO taxes, monetary policy that props up Wall Street and creates billionaires- all while GOP Fascists blame their exploding debt on ‘socialistm!’ and use the deficit as an excuse to gut Medicare,Medicaid, and Social Security.
5/Elected officials who use their power to subvert democracy are not ‘conservatives’ or ‘colleagues’ or ‘republicans’ they are fascists.
Our reps must use their pulpits to expose the fascists hiding in plain sight and unleash a force more powerful than their fascism - all of us!

We can help Greta fight back by resolutely facing that ‘evil’.

9/We shake our heads in horror and disbelief when we think of the carnage wrought by Hitler or Mussolini or Stalin but today’s fascists are poised to destroy the entire planet.
And America’s Fascists - Trump and the GOP Congress-are hiding in plain sight.
We must call them out.

10/Why did the media simply let Trump walk away from a video that depicts a gross abuse of his power and an egregious breach of the public trust?
A video that was released by HIS campaign team at HIS resort?
Just like euphemisms, denial and censorship protects Trump, not us
