In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

The entire rest of the world could always see how proud you were of your "great democracy" and how fragile and inflated it actually was. Took you all a long time to finally to see it too.

It wasn't fragile, it took half our politicians to choose fascism and 40+ years of groundwork

Billionaires bent their wealth to ensure this

No nation could survive such bullshittery. Ours certainly won't.

I've been thinking there's possibly a future in which history books (written outside the western sphere) that draw a continuation from nazi Germany to imperial America. As opposed to nazi Germany being the bad guys who were defeated by the allied forces.

Some might say they didn't fold. They were never the good guys. It's been good those of us who have been living within their sphere of influence. They have been a ruthless empire that is stepping up to the next level of brutality.
