1/ If our country were being invaded by foreign armies, we’d be throwing money at the Pentagon to help beat those forces back. But our country is being invaded by something more dangerous than that. We’ve been invaded by a consciousness of fascism.

2/ Fascism is the opposite of a free, democratic, self-governing society. It is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

3/ Fascism in America is an assault on the very core of who we are as a nation. It is so much bigger than the insanity of just one man. How it emerged will be studied for many years into the future, but the role of our generation is to stand up to it right now.

4/ God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her & guide her through the night with a Light from above. That light is rising in the hearts of millions during this night of chaos. The night will pass & one day you will tell your story: “I was there and I did what I could.”

For the first time ever, I disagree with. If America were being invaded, our public would side with the invaders. This is how much Americans hate the government right now.

The path to fascism was set over 40 years ago with the advent of one of the most destructive socioeconomic ideologies in history: Neoliberalism. I for one, have been fully aware of it for decades. People like Chris Hedges, Henry Giroux, the late Sheldon Wolin, warned us also.

God bless you, Marianne. You move, ignite, and lead. You’re fearless, no, aware of what to fear. I am grateful for the gifts you share.
