    It’s been that way for the better part of 100 years. Simply because it cannot be restated often enough. The father and grandfather of two American presidents. Was implicated in the previous fascist overthrow plot of the American government to January 6th. That man went on after the discovery of the plot to not only not be punished. But become a US Republican senator.

    He and men like him. Are part of the reason the United States overthrew several democratically elected governments throughout the 20th century. Replacing their elected governments with unelected fascistic strong men friendly to the United States. Who were often relatively quickly overthrown making new enemies for the United States every time that we still grapple with to this very day. That’s right. The United States greatest export during the 20th century wasn’t freedom. It was actually fascism.

    That even 100 years on we still struggle. Really speaks to how fucked we are.
