7. I've been talking about the Republican/Nazi party before we were allowed to

I don't remember who came up with the meme that goes something like "If you use the word Nazi, you've lost the argument."

So many of us played by that rule for years. And, probably for much too long, we didn't call Nazis, "Nazis."

Of course there are differences between the Nazis of Germany and the Republicans of today. For one thing, they live in different countries. For another, American Nazis haven't gotten into full blown genocide, or slaughtered millions in gas ovens. Yet.

So here we are, waiting for our Justice Department to possibly head off total disaster, and I hope they will. But, to them I say, check what month it is. Tick Tock.
