I do not want to live in an ethno-nationalist state that is based on and reveres skin pigment with low levels of melanin.
As for the Christian theocracy the White Christian nationalists want, what is Babylonian for Marduk, Sumerian for Enki, or Canaanite for Ba’al.

So ... Americans are OK with Elon Musk and his team controlling data and metadata of 2 million federal employees and the power over trillions of government dollars? Elon Musk who owns a social media platform and several other large corporations.
"Well, looking at the definition of fascism: It’s a far-right authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy.

I'm writing with a heavy heart today, after the passing of our colleague Ollie Reed Jr. He was the best cowboy storyteller in the business and an all around great guy. He'll be deeply missed. @ABQJournal

The best way to present strength in a chaotic, war-torn world is ... to pick a Fox News host whose top military job was commanding a platoon in the Army.
