"We’re living through simultaneous revivals of the worst of US history — Civil War, Spanish Flu, Gilded Age wealth inequality, WWII fascism, Watergate/Iran-Contra corruption. Now the 'War on Terror' is old enough for us to relive too." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"There is more: the return of Jim Crow, the political turmoil of the late 1960s, the Red Summer of 1919, the battle for Roe v Wade, and so on. It's like America is on its deathbed watching its life flash before its eyes." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"The attack on voting rights is the deepest threat we face. It is a much greater threat to the US than what's happening in Afghanistan. Democracy is in grave danger and this is not being treated with urgency." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"Remember what you wanted out of this admin when you voted. Remember the broken promises of accountability they made. And do not excuse it. When you excuse it, you contribute to the myth that the Trump admin was not as dangerous as it was." - @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"Ignore the circular logic of 'If Biden was good, he would have done something about the bad people; ergo, the bad people must not be that bad!' They were and they are. They're just not facing any accountability for their actions." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"This is part of how George W Bush became rehabilitated -- people wanted to forgive Obama and his admin for letting them off the hook. This is how history is rewritten again and again to favor and excuse the abuses of the powerful." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/chance-f…
