Does it feel like most Americans are ignoring the insane rise of fascism?

28. No. But media would love for you to feel the fear of that possibility so you'll keep

watching for what's next in their hyped slow roll train wreck of disconnected cars.

81 million didn't let fascism rise the last time. They're all still here.

Moreover, consider the rest of the busy, tired, trying to make a living kind of Americans, and you'll see that by the numbers, 77% of America did NOT vote GOP.

It's a basic numbers map that shows the reality of "consent of the governed." And so, while only something like over 60% of the adult electorate voted, the rest of us, except for about 23% of the whole country -- not just the electorate that won -- have been okay with that decision.

Those millions not engaged in politics, due to life stresses or lack of personal capacity (undocumenteds and minors), just need to get by in some kind of mind-my-own-business peace, don't want to think about what the other group would do, and they only have to expose themselves to just enough news to get the picture. And that is why, right now, they are so sick of seeing innocence dying, and being told how to live because of pro-gun, pro-power punitive Republican leaders, that even the non-voters are protesting. And what do the pro-gun folks say to deflect? that the other side is the hateful, killing side. Kids can see what's wrong because they've got their very lives and futures to lose.

We've tried to tell the unengaged that if they don't want to deal with politics, politics will come for them. And now the little children lead them. Because it's not enough to just trust. That's why there are those who guard the perimeters, enforce rule of law, so children can have childhoods, and a just peace, instead of an unjust peace.
