1. Can you think of the shitstorm we would have heard if President Obama started the "Obama Network?"

[bigtree]

2. a shitstorm for anyone else, for that matter

...now a state-sponsored propaganda network from one political party and their president is acceptable?

Where the hell are we? What the hell has happened to us?

It's clear to me (and has been for decades) that we've actually been much less the shining city on the hill than many imagined we were. Otherwise, this would have been ended months ago, by public demand alone.

3. what happened? here's some simple math for people who ignore the radio

at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 5 = $75,000/wk x 1200 stations republicon talk radio is worth $18MIL/day or 390MIL$ /month or 4.68 BIL$/ year FREE for coordinated global warming denial, pro republican free market deregulation and wall st think tank propaganda, swiftboating, and the hate and fear used to get people to vote republican.

thinking americans continue to ignore the radio, don't even poll for it.

it worked for hitler, in rwanda, and it's been working for the republicans. and it shouldn't be a surprise that those stations have been used to push the R-cons to delay the conversion to green energy, default on the debt, lie us into iraq, and now trump.

the dem party and the progressive orgs continue to take our donations and do nothing about it. we have to sit around and wait for someone like mueller to find out hannity and limbaugh have been taking russian money.

7. Precisely

[BlancheSplanchnik]

17. Yep, this nightmare didn't just happen overnight.

Long list of precursors. I had no idea of the extent and $$$$$$$$$ of puke-radio.

[SusanaMontana41]

19. You think it's bad now,

wait until Sinclair media starts syndicating TV and net neutrality goes away.

The coup will be complete.

Which is precisely the point you were making.

8. YEP - been saying that

4. Hard To Miss The Signs

We are at a critical point it all could go really south really quick.

If Mueller charges Chitolini with whatever what will Chitolini and his crazy base do?

The Nazi types are feeling emboldened here and abroad.

5. The Anne Frank Center is correct here

[Iliyah]

6. the GOP and t-rump are in sync . . .

Pence will be even worst. The whole party and their donors need to be exposed.

[NastyRiffraff]

9. Pence's dream is a theocracy

Oh, he won't call it that, of course. He'll say something about bringing god back to the country of some such nonsense. A theocracy is a dictatorship run by fundies who believe that Earth is 6,000 years old, evolution is a big lie, gays are evil, blacks have the "mark of Cain," and women should be subservient. Mike Pence believes all those things and is eager to enforce them on the country.

10. Sickening. What amazes me is that someone as LAZY as tRump could pull this off

There's a lot of stupidity and bigotry in this country though. When as a society will we abandon the urge to blame all our woes on immigrants? All one has to do is take a stroll through a Wal-mart to prove that being white ain't all it's cracked up to be.

[Behind the Aegis]

11. Just a little bit of history repeating...

Now, what will be done?!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

12. Perhaps the most frightening part is that this is good news

to many Trump supporters.

[dalton99a]

13. Good list.

[zentrum]

14. The parallels are screaming at us.

[geretogo]

15. Where is the opposing party , the democrats ? Crickets , click , click .

[PatrickforO]

16. Never again.

Never again.

Never forget.

[Shoonra]

18. This is an independent NY organization

The Anne Frank Center started in 1959 as the Anne Frank Foundation and was the American partner of the Anne Frank House of Amsterdam. But in 1977 it spun off and became an independent organization as the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, articulating its own opinions separate from the Dutch HQ of Anne Frank House.

So this anti-Trump tweet is done by an American group, not the famous Anne Frank House.
