"It assumes that Trump channels the Volk, and therefore is to be given wide latitude; as he supposedly embodies and gives voice to a populist uprising of 'regular folks,' his message is to be amplified; the will of the true people must not be impeded. Who wants to bring the hammer down on the tribune of 'real America'?"

"There is an element of volkish ideology underneath the way the institutions have behaved towards [Trump], a widespread ideology of 'real Americanism' that is centered around an essentialist view of who gets to represent the nation."

How Project 2025 Became Toxic and Exposed the Right’s Toxicity

There are 5 executions set over a week's span in the US
Death row inmates in five states have been put to death in the span of one week. This was the first time in more than 20 years that five executions had been held in seven days.SEAN MURPHY (AP News)
"Republican prosecutors, many of whom pay lip service to Trump and his Maga values, have become increasingly aggressive in pushing capital cases to finality. ...
Trump has indicated that if he wins in November, he will pursue the federal death penalty with even more gusto than he did when he was last in office. In the final days of his presidency, his administration executed 13 federal prisoners – more than under any president in 120 years."
"While much of the US is focused on Donald Trump’s remolding of the Republican party and his efforts to bring his Make America Great Again (Maga) movement back to the White House in November’s election, a parallel shift has taken hold in the death penalty world, albeit behind the scenes and largely unnoticed."

Six days of horror: America’s thirst for executions returns with a vengeance
Five executions, five states: a glut of judicial killing not seen in 20 years took place last week – and there was nothing random about itEd Pilkington (The Guardian)
People focus on Hitler and Nazi leaders and the atrocious lethal lies they told to justify the mass murder of Jews.
But they should focus also on the willingness of very many people to believe those lies, to cheer and assist as their Jewish neighbors were rounded up and sent to their deaths.
The problem is never just the Hitlers, the Nazis. The problem is us, many of us — our propensity to stigmatize and hate.

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???
Seems fishy…
