You've really got to read the 1776 report, not just summaries. The writing is so much worse than you think. It's like some twisted kind of performance art: how many plodding, pedestrian, ham-handed cliches can you pile atop one another? whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
The authoritarian mind is so plain, so utterly without aesthetic spark. It's not funny, or curious, or empathetic, or piercing. It is utterly blind to irony & contingency. There's a reason anyone who creates anything-- writers, artists, scholars, entrepreneurs --is a Dem now.
Fascists aren't funny.
"We will--we must--always hold these truths" is awful rhetoric but it cuts to the core: this is our tribe's story, our identity & glory; those who want to tell a different story don't want to be more accurate, they just want to take our power for themselves. We *must* hold on.
