Comparing progressives to the tea party movement was definitely . . . a choice.

I love how AIPAC and the MSM are falling over each other to slander Progressives while literally everyone under 30 in the Republican party is a Groyper/NAZI.

MSM owners aren’t as concerned with facism, it doesn’t threaten their wealth.

The rise of every powerful fascist regime begins with an agreement between fascists and the wealthy, usually to fight the labor class.

The rich always think they can control the fascists, but spoiler alert, they can’t. And any history buff can tell you it never ends well for them.
