Third Reich Nazis, Maoists, Inquisitors? That's the high end of the scale.

Someone doesn't open the door for me (I'm becoming an older man) is the low end of the scale.

At the high end, there's a responsibility not to be silent. At the low end there's a responsibility to be silent, lest we forget there is a high end to worry about.

I was unaware of this. Of course Newt was the basis of this problem, like so many others.

And it is way past time for the business community to step up start to engage. Obviously they do not want to, I’m sure the community likes the $$$ the gop shovels their way or the 1,000,000+ Americans DT let die from COVID while yelling HOAX every chance he had would have got some of them off the couch.

It’s still unreal that the president was also the biggest source of misinformation about COVID. The business community needs to set aside and not fear the threats the gop has made towards them from the likes of gosar, greene or boebert and speak up because the direction the gop is going in could end up unraveling the foundations corporations need to provide employees from.

I recently reposted it to a different blog with a different photo of Mr. Wiesel.
