Her comment today is if you have to where a mask because the general public would go after you for what you are doing. You might be the bad guy.

    “The perpetrators attempted to avoid creating explicit evidence and they also tried to destroy the documentary and material evidence of their crimes before the German defeat.[4][8] Nevertheless, much of the evidence was preserved and collected by Allied investigators during and after the war, and the overwhelming evidence of the crimes ultimately made such erasure attempts futile.” Wikipedia

    In the digital age, it might be easier to destroy records. The Secret Service destroyed their records after January 6th.

    There was some other news today about the Trump administration deleting a public facing record, but I think that is bit of a separate issue. This is more about rewriting history on public-facing websites, not destroying internal records.

    Who is it that will send them to Argentina? The armed masses watching them rip their neighbors off the street?

    The educated and political who wear the masks of irrelevant tendencies online?

    She’s equating them to Nazis, and their names shall be known, and they might need to make alternative plans to flee to Argentina, but that’s already been tried, we won’t let them get away with that again. They will be obliterated.

      we won’t let them get away with that again

      Under Nixon? Under Reagan? Under Clinton? Under Obama? Under Trump 1? Under Biden? Sure.

      But they’re not going to get away with it again. That’s because we’re going to do things differently. We’re going to <???>

      They will be obliterated.

      The folks who talk the toughest about what they’re going to do to Nazis are the same ones who squeal and climb the curtains when they hear the word “Tankie”.

      It’s all a fucking Inglorious Bastards style fantasy. Beating fascists to death with a Louisville Slugger. Blowing Hitler up with dynamite in the middle of a French Jew’s theater. Carving swastikas into the heads of turncoats. The kinds of people who would actually do this? They don’t exist in American politics. Not in any kind of position of power, anyway.

      I mean, prove me wrong. But I’m not holding my breath.

        Oh you’re absolutely correct that they don’t exist in politics in general, not just in the US.

        That however, assumes that said politicians, ceos, and billionaires can hire enough security to protect themselves from the masses of rather unstable armed citizens in this country that are about to run out of food.

        Hint: they can’t.

        The fantasy of destroying fascism is just that, a fantasy. The reality was by the time World War II hit the US was already a fascist state itself. I would definitely argue that even our founding fathers were proto-fascists as well.
