1/ "Narratives facilitating the rejection of the evidence of one's eyes & ears remain popular for millions of presently comfortable Americans who prefer comfort to truth.
If somebody gives a Nazi salute at a rally for a Nazi politician, & everyone cheers, then they're Nazis, & their party is a Nazi party, as anyone who is willing to observe observable things can observe.
When a fascist politician responds to a call for mercy from a citizen with a demand that the bishop delivering it should be deported, it exposes what fascists meant by deportation, & the way it has nothing to do with questions of legality or immigration
Exercise moral clarity. It all begins here. Without the moral clarity to understand what is good & what is bad, & the determination to witness to it & confess to it, we will lose our compass & wander lost."
