First they proclaimed "communist corporations," and I said nothing because I was laughing too hard. Then they declared "progressive fascism," and I fell out of my chair, laughing even harder.GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw compares corporations criticizing Republicans' voting restrictions to "fascism." pic.twitter.com/f9ggouQ8ne

“The Democrats have successfully captivated the institutions; pop culture, Hollywood, our education institutions and now our corporations into their own woke agenda,” the Republican told Fox News. “This is fascism. And they use cancel culture as a tool to impose their fascism on us.”
Crenshaw also told FoxNews that fascism is: "the regimentation of the economy, of society, and it's the forced suppression of of your opposition." So, what is Dan Patrick advocating when he pushes a bill through the Texas Senate to make it harder to vote? Or Gov. Absent decrying conditions in a facility housing migrant minors that he hasn't so much as visited? A facility described this way by a county commissioner who has visited that site several times:
“What I saw when I went in there on several occasions, it was well-staffed, the children are very happy and very excited to be here,” she told reporters after Abbott left. “This is not a political issue. This is about children who deserve protection from adults.”
What is fascism when it's at home:
Although fascist parties and movements differed significantly from one another, they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a Volksgemeinschaft (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation.
Guilty dog barks loudest, Crenshaw.
And while we're on the topic of Texas' national representatives:
Ted Cruz just really needs to stay off of Twitter.Senator, your state was freezing and instead of helping your constituents you decided to vacation in Cancun. What does that say about your priorities? https://t.co/VO96meU2rc

Because I just want to know what Cruz is doing about the covid crisis in Texas. So far as I know, he's done nothing. Kinda wonder what Crenshaw's done about it, too.New York Post reporter Steven Nelson suggests to Jen Psaki that because Kamala Harris "took time to visit a bakery" during a trip to Chicago, she isn't working hard enough on the border pic.twitter.com/7uwKqEI3aw

Definition of a non-conformist in the Philippines. Someone who stops for a red light and goes when the light turns green. I called them decorations. They turn the traffic signals off on Sundays to conserve electricity.
