But for them, thats not a warning, its a game plan.
If you can't hear those warning alarms blaring, you must be deaf. I mean, JFC! >

The conservatives obsession with this is concerning but I don’t know exactly why? The genitalia? Are they that uncomfortable with things that don’t concern or harm them? Wtf is with this party? >

It's just what fascism does. They go after marginalized groups first. >

The operatve word here being "first." Nobody would be safe except the  fascist sympathizers, whatever that identity that group might take. >

Even fascist sympathizers end up eating a boot. It’s the primary failing of populism. You’ve got to always have an enemy and eventually the enemy and your supporters are a Venn diagram with only one circle. >

Night of the Long Knives says hello >

This.  Sometimes the fascists purge their own before they go after others.  IE the republican party fighting amongst itself >

Like Boebert and Midge screaming at each other?
That was fun news, tho. >

Florida is becoming a fascist state and the fact University Presidents are in on it shows education in Florida is becoming a joke. >

You used “becoming” twice and it wasn’t needed >

The saddest part is the university system in Florida is actually really good and affordable. It might not last much longer. >

With all this going on there will be a brain drain with all of the graduates leaving the state to work in non-crazy states (not that there seem to be many remaining). >

Already started with me! Recent UF grad who just got the fuck out of Florida >

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

....Yeah somehow I'm reminded of this poem when I read what the repugs are doing.
