>>>It’s already arrived and it isn’t happy or light-hearted.

It’s called Diversity/Sensitivity training - no different than self criticism programs under Mao.<<<

I happen to agree with your sentiments... but Mao also slaughtered 30 million of his countrymen. If I don’t attend a diversity training seminar, I might get fired, but no one’s going to shoot me in the head and then charge my family for the cost of the bullet.

The problem is that some of us see the connection between Mao and diversity training, but most do not, so the slow decline into authoritarian rule continues. Since folks like you and I are out there, they’ll never get to the point of rounding us up for mass killings - after all, that would certainly prompt some of us to remember that the 30-06 we use to kill moose was designed to kill people. Unfortunately, slow erosion of rights is almost a worse fate, like a man with cancer who doesn’t know that he has a tumor but occasionally feels a twinge of pain here and there.

I’m afraid that you’re right - and it won’t matter which candidate wins of the three. Like Johan Goldberg says, when fascism arrives in the United States, it’ll be a happy, light-hearted variety. No death squads. Just show up at the date and time on the summons. Pay the fine. You’re on probation, and we reserve the right to peek into your home and writings to make sure you’re not writing hate speech. You can attend a series of workshops to clean your record. Have a great day!

Which is exactly why the Dems won't win this November. We're too libertarian a country for that to happen.

Of course. The act of not acting in an insufficiently non-hateful way can itself be hateful. Whether or not the incident is a non-incident is incidental.

The master at work.
