Behind Trump's latest purge, and why MAGA's no longer pretending by Thom Hartmann - Alternet via MSN

In his novel 1984, George Orwell warned, “Those who control the present control the past, and those who control the past control the future.” Today, Donald Trump and the GOP have weaponized that prophecy, twisting it into the foundation of their crusade to Make America White Again.

What they are building is not a political movement but a parallel nation — a MAGAstan — where loyalty oaths replace truth, history is scrubbed clean of slavery and racism, and authoritarian obedience is demanded in the name of patriotism.

This is America’s homegrown Taliban, and they’re no longer pretending to hide their intentions.

4. Again, thanks for the added link,

though I got a "prove you're not a robot" captcha when I tried it (I usually ignore those).

And here's a direct link to Alternet: (It might be behind a paywall depending, which is why I used the MSN link.)

6. Yeah MSN is better than Alternet

but Reader View doesn't work there and the screen is so glitchy and full of ads, it annoys me. So I requested an archive

It could as well be called Dumbfuckistan.
