It is an incitement. An intimation to violence and a weapons grade rejection of John McCain who often said the honorific that meant most to him in a storied career was “my fellow American”. It is a call to war against Americans.
Will you do violence? That is the question he is asking? Since @TuckerCarlson is in Budapest being celebrated as a leader of the “National Conservative Movement” it seems like it would be a good moment to take a breath and be honest about what this is. “Wide Awake” is a shout out
To the extremisneo Nazi’s and White Supremacists who have been “red pilled” and now see the “truth”. Defense of Civilization to preserve freedom is the new/old argument. It’s the justification for a racially and culturally superior minority to rule over a numerically greater
less than majority. The best part is that it comes from a self proclaimed patriot who unethically shilled for the Malaysian Government, receiving lots of money to print their propaganda. His words are intentional. They are the words of a zealot In service to a
low cause. Like the Bund members who placed a 40 foot high banner of George Washington behind the rostrum at Madison Square Garden and embossed the marquee with letters that spelled “Patriotic Event” the oft wrongly misattributed quote, “when fascism comes to America it will
be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross” I knew a man once. He could be a hard man, the type who had no delusions about reality. When others talked about seeing Putin’s soul in his eyes this man laughed and said he saw three letters. They were a KGB. If he read this crap
when I knew him it would have enraged, saddened and appalled him at a level I don’t quite have the words to explain. It would have broken his heart actually and he was as tough as they came.

I wanted to write a few last thoughts before I go off the grid. Perspectives around events are shaped by many factors. Time is a powerful one. Occasionally, its forward march creates before and after moments of shocking and electrifying clarity
around intentions and beliefs. Actions, that just moments before, remained hidden in a mist of purposeful concealment are revealed. @TuckerCarlson in Hungary, slandering the character of the American people with a not so subtle rejection of American democracy thrown in is such
a moment. It seems so obvious now, the inevitability of the overt embrace of a replacement theory for the American system of Government. A great and brilliant bloom of fascism, undressed, naked and in the open has blossomed across America and Europe this week. @TuckerCarlson

If winning in America is explaining and showing your teenagers what fascist iconography looks like and who Viktor Orban is and why @FoxNews #1 Prime Time Host @TuckerCarlson is with him, democracy is a champion this week, effortlessly, by Thursday. When @DavidMuir and
@NorahODonnell @wolfblitzer @SavannahGuthrie @brikeilarcnn and dozens of others have to lead teams at credible news organizations that attempt to inform people about events; reality, shaped by words, deeds, and actions, they have to prioritize.
Often the truth is brutal, hard, violent, and unsettling. People who are trying to communicate reality and others who are trying to warn about its’ dangers are constantly smeared by propagandists and liars who wear their cloaks of zealotry and fanaticism openly. How do you

Analysis Tweet- @GovRonDeSantis Politically, it’s another brutal day for the flailing DeSantis. He has gambled and lost. Weeks ago he was laying in bed and no doubt the pillow talk was all about the Inaugural Ball. He rolled Trump, stiffed him, in fact DeSantis told the Leader
not to come. He dared to tell the Leader he was not welcome in Florida, a state governed by a man, @GovRonDeSantis , made wholly in the Leaders image and by his grace. Ron didn’t even show up to the Leader Rally. This enraged Trump and now below the placid surface waters the
currents are teeming with treachery, venom and bile. @GovRonDeSantis feels trapped. He has no room to maneuver, he is trapped by the Covid disaster he authored and the relationship disaster he caused with an unforgiving Leader who has no attachments, empathy or loyalty. It is a

Trump has commissioned a Party card resplendent with his very own Parteiadler. Terrific news. One thing to note is Trump’s fascist party eagle faces opposite the American Eagle whjch faces away from the arrows in her left talons and towards the olive branches symbolizing peace
in her right. Should we give him the benefit of the doubt? Absolutely not. Mainly because the Trump movement has been called out over and over again for its use of fascist iconography. Trust me on this, take that Trump Eagle and ask a living veteran of World War 2 or
Korea what that is? There is a 100% chance they will all agree. Why do we have to pretend about this? Look at this. 5 years into this, when @TuckerCarlson is in Budapest celebrating European fascism and the collapse of democracy in the name of freedom and civilization why do we

I’m going to show a campaign poster that is 89 years old. See if it has any themes that seem current and relevant. It’s in German. The National Socialist ideal is on the left. He promises Work, Freedom and Bread. He’s looking down on an anti Semitic caricature, deformed and Image
sinister, dehumanized. The offering is lies, corruption, unemployment, terror, hate speech and socialism. It’s an important think to see and think about as we ponder @TuckerCarlson in league with Orban and being declared a global leader of the National Conservative movement.
Here at home 14 writers have published a denunciation of American democracy. One of the writers Michael Anton has called for the rise of a Caesar to crush the left in the name of freedom. The National Socialists didn’t campaign on genocide. They campaigned on jobs

Here are some policy ideas for @JDVance1 the Sand Hill Fascist who is apparently terrified about single people, childless couples and “cat ladies” Here are some policy ideas. Maybe a “Law for the Encouragement of Marriage” and a loan at marriage for $100,000 that is forgiven
At $25,000 per kid. What about heavily taxing childless couples and single men? How about making it easier for men to get divorced after fathering four children so they can find a younger wife and have more kids? The women need something to strive for. How about a National
Conservative motherhood cross. Bronze for four kids, silver for 6 and gold for 8. What else? Maybe a subsidy for single women to become pregnant with the child of an oath keeper or proud boy? Of course, @JDVance1 will need to support birth control restrictions, for the families.
