Let's put it simply.

The people who ruined this country, who grew inequality, who destroyed government as a public good, who made our lives miserable, all for profit, hid their guilt by whipping up a fascist movement with weaponized, white supremacist conspiracy theories.

The wealthy and powerful plunder a country for everything it's worth, damn the people to lesser lives, and when it all starts to come apart, they rely on fascists to reinforce their will and attack reform movements.

We've seen it before. Here and abroad.

We can't keep pretending like this isn't what happened, that the wealthy and powerful aren't using fascists radicalized by their own weaponized misinformation, and that it just...appeared.

This is why we're here. This is what's happening. Address this.

If you want a primer on this, if you want to turn someone onto what's actually happening, how we've reached this point of crisis and how it's the result of decades of intentional, malevolent manipulation, here's a video.

Tell people what's going on.
