None dare call him Krasnov.

Willing idiot by default. Whatever Vladimir wants, Vladimir gets.

People thought Hillary was hyperbolic too. “Basket of deplorables” we can now identify as the rabid MAGA. And Trump has definitely shown himself to be “Putin’s puppet.”

You are absolutely right. This is all beyond corruption. This is sick and unfortunately we are living and trying to survive these dark times. The midterms and 2028 cannot come soon enough. So everyone get out there and make your vote count.

Words are the only weapon we really have.

Votes are weapons, too.

A vote is a form of language/words.

Stay angry, Ben. There are still many who are not outraged enough.

The US is struggling to keep itself from falling into facism. We’ve done it before. If Rs win even a little in the midterms, the question is : Where do we go from here?

No, we are there, neck deep in fascism. The question is whether we can fight our way back

Fascism is a frightening disease; so was COVID but we came out the other side of that, absolutely no thanks to t-Rump. I got my flu and COVID shots this morning. It's become a normal part of life now, but until We The People could protect ourselves against becoming sick and maybe dying, every day was an overwhelming fear.

Ben - Thank you for devoting so much time to us when you have your own family, and for your new book. After reading Brett’s afternoon update I could not eat and was shaking. I made some tea and sat outside with your book. I took many deep breaths! I really liked the new term: “idioccracy”. The word is much stronger than “regime”. It’s also a “kleptocracy”like a South American banana republic.

It is a cancer that's metastisizing. It needs to be referred to that way and recognized as such. We cannot afford to gave elections swing to a demented crackpot like Trump because the price of eggs or anything else is too high. The elections cannot be about someone's personal needs that attack the whole.

Absolutely. Couldn’t agree more. Words MATTER.

Words have power

These perilous times call for strong passion wrapped in clear, plain, honest language. IMO
