        Europe isn’t immune either, by any means.

        Feel rare to hear that expressed, but one of the side effects of our fall into fascism is that, like you say - we make for a good case study, and if it woke Europeans up a bit and that fall doesn’t happen over there, so much the better.

        It definitely is a reminder that we cannot take democracy for granted. It is a constant struggle. And letting the oligarchs “play” with their Fox News lies and right-wing radio… that experiment shows that fascism and authoritarianism must be stamped out and not allowed to thrive as an “equal voice”.
