What is the best way to get this message to people who are asleep at the wheel. People who believe “it can’t happen here”. How do we help them hear this message without turning them off?

My thoughts exactly! I am reading the Rise and fall of the Third Reich. All the moves Hitler made leading up to 1930 are reflected in our Country today. We are in 1930 not 2023. History is truly repeating itself.

Excellent, Frank. Much insight and awareness of history and what’s happening in various parts of the world, including the U.S. I read/watch both enlightened conservatives and liberals/progressives who are also speaking out like you.

For instance, former senior GOP communications adviser for major GOP campaigns, Steve Schmidt, who left the GOP in the dark days of Trump’s presidency and became a co-founder of The Lincoln Project, which is fighting for democracy and against Trumpism. Schmidt just this week has recorded on “The Warning” stirring messages that include some things you have also spoken about.

David Gushee, an internationally-respected Christian ethicist, has written a new book that will be available in early October. I have an advanced copy of the book as part of a book launch. It’s titled “Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies.” It looks at seven different countries--France and Germany in decades past, as well as modern Russia, Poland, Hungary, Brazil, and the U.S. it also looks at Israel.

Gushee sees patterns today and historically that reveal what he calls “Authoritarian Reactionary Christianity.” Last night, I read the chapter on Hungary. It very much ties in what you are saying.

Thank you for sharing the timely information you share at this critical point in American and world history.

Watch the Extreme "court" carefully.

The Gang of Six have and will support voter suppression and the red states are already bringing suits to accomplish the task of eliminating opposition votes. There are some states that either will or are contemplating the allowing of open carry guns and the accompanying coercive threats IN POLLING PLACES.

The red shirts are intent on disallowing our votes.

Maybe America really isn't the totally world important thing that it has been cracked up to be and the limelight will go elsewhere on earth.
