Thanks for writing this. It means so much to know that I am not alone and that people's eyes are beginning to open to this fascist threat from the left. I've been seeing this develop over the past seven or so years. I voted for Trump simply because I recognized that what was happening on the left was of far greater concern than any danger Trump might pose. Unfortunately I have been cancelled and shunned by some lifelong friends and it hurts. I've been making a point of sharing your posts on FB along with those of Glen Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss and Andrew Sullivan. I think people are starting to take notice.

Very well done! [this writer continues to believe in merited compliments :-)] Freedom is always in peril--the threats mutate to meet the opportunities at hand. Thanks for your strong stand and also for highlighting Gina Carano's courage.

Red Scare 2.0.

How did witch trials the og Red Scare end? Did that wave of fear and self righteousness need to burn through the population?

This is brilliant. I’d even call it “courageous” - but then I might be committing an ableist micro-aggression against those who self-identify as cowards, and that might put me on the wrong side of the Trump line.

Do we actually know that Carano voted for Trump? I have no problem with her if she did, I just have never seen confirmation that she was a Trump voter-- only the smears assuming she did based on other tweets that they have read the worst into.
