The capital of the United States of America has been turned into a military zone and there’s a massive fascist movement threatening shared society because the wealthy and powerful created an alternate reality where they could maintain power and direct anger away from themselves.
Really let that sink in, because that’s the truth.
Trump, the Right, their poisonous media ecosystem, these grifters and bad faith politicians.
All of it part of a toxic stew of designed, tested, and weaponized conspiracy theories to hide boundless greed and inhuman cruelty.

We have to hold Trump accountable and change material conditions in this country, but nothing will change if we don’t investigate white supremacy, the paranoia that accompanies it, and that wealthy and powerful people have constructed an alternate reality to keep a grip on power.
If you want to understand what’s happening, go back to 2010 when billionaires like the Kochs used racism to create an angry mob in order to get tax cuts, deregulation, and undermine government. There’s a direct line and it’s all about redirecting anger for power and profit.
Trumpism, QAnon, all of it, is just an alternate story that redirects anger from the wealthy who plundered this country to shadowy conspiracies using whites supremacist paranoia and fascist tropes.
It’s a con, a misdirection. A game within a game.
