On Friday’s episode of The Five 8, I outlined how the US is already a fascist state.The midterm elections comprise a referendum on how entrenched the condition is; the results of those elections will determine the course of the resistance going forward—and the future of American democracy.
Far Right of Boom

The message from Trump’s White House is pretty clear:
Report what we like, and you’re welcome inside.
Report what we don’t like, and your credentials disappear.
Trump doesn't want a free press; he wants an obedient one.
We must fight back.
