I've got to stop shouting...
At the talking heads on the telly.
The levels of egregiousness are just too much for me to restrain myself. I know the talking heads can't hear me; but venting provides a valve on the internal pressure cooker.
I hate most politicians. But I can at least respect and support some of those opposed to the extreme right wing lurches in the Anglo-Saxon polities.
When Trump goes on about "AntiFa" he's talking about me; my father who fought in WWII; my uncle who lost an eye in that conflict; and all those who died rather than let the fascists take over. I'm a liberal capitalist with kids in private school. I'm AntiFa.
Anyone trying to trash my father's memory, or any of his generation, gets short shrift from me.
If you are anti-AntiFa it means you are pro-fascism; it is just that fucking simple. So...
Trump is a fascist, as are all of his followers who object to AntiFa.
And as for me, I hate fascism.
