Going out everyday to create music has been working because I have been able to keep it to an hour or less. That is the trick, to not over do it. Also, the weather is perfect right now and I am entering into my old mindset of needing to take advantage of every moment. Once the sun becomes too hot I just won't be able to do it. I cannot get up early enough and playing in the dark does not work. Lol, really... the dark issue is, if I do not get back into my apartment complex parking lot before sun set I will lose my parking spot and I cannot park the truck on the street over night, no way. Mo has been able to sit on top for this amount of time. I lift him up onto the piano. He must be frustrated that he cannot move while knowing he will fall off and can't move anyway because his back legs are so bad. But, he lays still on the bed for hours and hours every day so there is that. Its much better than in the truck cab or truck bed because he cannot sit for a long period of time looking out the window or standing still in the back of the truck.

I'm going though the same old, same old in my head of what do I really want to do. What am I realistically capable of doing, why, how, etc... this as far as the future with my work and physical capabilities. At the same time, I always just keep doing what is in front of me in the present moment. Thank God my life has been about living in the present moment. It is not like I have a choice. My mind just does not work under pressure of any type, it never has. Fear just freezes everything. Self-created obligation and expectation, no problem. Commitment when I am able to create it for myself and get going... it has always been 100%. Followup when others are concerned once I commit, 99.9%. Commitment to get up in the morning as desired, that only works when it is work related with expectation for others and fun. I need to raise some funds as usual. Doing that for the last year has been a situation of start, burn out quick, start, burnout, start, loss of interest... I'm thinking about it in terms of starting and failing over and over. I just need to pick myself up and start again everytime I can. It is like with Mo... he falls down with old age and then once I help him up he just keeps going everytime. Damm, I wish I had someone to help me up but, that just has never been in the cards for me on any consistent basis. I guess that is the way for everyone. To have that in life, obligation and expectation needs to be in the equation in some way. I've never wanted to have anyone in my life under those circumstances.

My present plan is to go out everyday and pick a different block downtown to play on. So, I am up the street today form where I live with no one around and after only about three minutes of playing a guy walks up to me. There used to be a guy in the area who played drums on the back of a super built out pickup truck and we had talked about connecting with our trucks to have fun but unfortunately he had some substance abuse issues and eventually disappeared. The guy standing beside me today was from LA and a friend of his who plays sax with him. The drummer now lives in LA. This guy Justin and I talked deeply for about an hour and he was receptive to most everything I said so of course I enjoyed my conversation, lol. He just got a job at a restaurant on my street so we will probably connect for some sax and piano music together in the near future. Maybe not. Most people no matter how interested in the moment, well interest in them for almost everything fades quickly. My new piano playing friend Ace from last month, he was ferociously interested for a couple of weeks. I've not heard a peep from him.

I will take one crazy person on the streets any day over ten fascist, maga trump supporters, lol. Dawn found me today. She is an incredible lover of music. I will always be amazed with how important music is for people. To be sure, Dawn has few reasons to smile and rarely does but I got her to give me one today. She knows she's crazy and we both enjoyed her craziness as we talked about dimensions and aliens and... played music together.

I slept twelve hours, must have really needed that. When I woke it felt like I needed to get out with the Traveling Piano to create some music for myself. I ended up on the corner of the street across from where I live. Once I began, I thought about trying to re-create music I was listening to last night from an artist named Max Richter. His music is beautiful, nice, simple and soothing. I thought, I cannot do that, it is not in me to try and copy someone else. I can only do me. A local musician walked up, a head banger who was just standing to listen. Then throughout the day I had about five people come over to me when I was off the truck to tell their experience of hearing and discovering the music and how beautiful it was. They tell me in a state of awe. I just love that, do not own any of it and, it is so clear that the music that comes through me reaches to the soul of people in all the best of ways. Music is a necessity in the world now more than ever before.

Sometimes when I do not have my camera with me for the perfect spontaneous photo... so frustrating! I was walking Mo at two in the morning and across the street I see this small black humped figure sauntering down the street looking like it had a tail. It was all black. And then I could see it was this homeless woman who walks at a ninety degree angle because she has bent spine syndrome. She was walking completely covered in a thick black blanket I had been able to give her earlier in the day. It was dragging behind her like a rats tail, lol! It is in the 30's at night now here in Las Vegas so if you can help out... you know how.

Everyday, I try to go outside to create some music and relate with people if only for an hour. It is for my mental health first and foremost. My anxiety is through the roof. Well, it is mostly hate more than anxiety for the politics I was raised in since birth. After twenty five years of learning to understand and sort out the evils, the reality of authoritarian lies and fascist behavior and, having escaped it all resulting in this present Traveling Piano Journey... what is happening now around the world and specifically on my home turf places me in a state of being where I feel a constant pressure and a need to resist and destroy.
If I could walk away from it all or just suppress it like others are doing, I would. As a human being with self-respect, I cannot.We all are now at war with fascism and most people cannot internalize the fact. They must stay in denial in order to cope. They will not respond until it is too late. Meanwhile, I tell myself how I knew this was all going to happen when trump got in the second time so just keep the emotional drama out and focus on reality and focus on how to deal with it with response ability. Everyday I ask for God to direct "our" thoughts. I stay in gratitude for Mo and everything physical that I have as well as my passion to care for others. Wish, I had more passion to care for myself.

With the hell we are all beginning to live in concerning our shift to fascism and dictatorship, I need to remind myself daily where I can do the most good to fight it. Something must be actively done. Never have I just been content to sit and do nothing about injustice, repression and suffering others are experiencing. The need to stand up to, have a voice concerning and being part of a solution is what began this journey. It was with the venture into the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina back when. There is no one way to fight fascism and I certainly would never box myself into just one way. That would bore me to death unless I am lost obsessively and have no choice. Being too obsessive with anything is not the route to take for my life. Anyway, in the past I would be in Minneapolis right now with the Traveling Piano. Trump has our government actively killing its own people and has been invading the city to create fear and suffering, taking innocent people away just as Hitler did with his Nazi army. This is where fear will "not" dominate my life. Being older helps.
What I do best in situation like this has always been to create validation, love and reassurance of worth to all good people suffering and going through whatever it is they are dealing with in life. Whether it be about gun violence, floods, fires, hurricanes now, fascism is beginning to take a seat front and center for the Traveling Piano agenda. Unfortunately the Traveling Piano truck is not road worthy for any distance travel. Mo is a bit too old for all the travel and staying in different places and me too, I "might" be a bit to old. And, it is too cold to be there right now anyway. So, in my own neighborhood... that is where I need to focus, in my own community and those communities surrounding where I live. Always, I am imagining doing bigger things, experiencing more, getting self-validation for myself of course, everyone wants that on some level from others. Well, I need to do "big" in my own small community for now. And also, help myself and everyone else that I care about prepare for the looming disaster that republicans and tech billionaires are throwing onto us all.

A homeless guy I know went and found an old oriental rug in the trash and put it under one of the Community Traveling Piano's on the sidewalk. That just made me feel so good. The respect, desire to care for, the fun. When it had rained all the hammers and felts inside swelled up and most all the notes stuck on all of the pianos. I thought once they all dried out it might be ok and... they are all ok. Of course they keep going out of tune more and more. Three out of seven pianos I put out on the street, still there, still playable since June! Every day and every night people play on them. If only I could keep them in tune. I have a tuning kit... get the time to learn, practice and tune... the time to do that has not happening.

This is so not about getting kudos... I share because I'd go crazy keeping everything to myself. A guy in a sort of daze, I was giving him a blanket the other day and he asks, "are you the guy who gave me some delicious chilli"? That is the fourth person in the last year to remember my giving them chilli that I made and shared in the middle of the night... over 4 years ago!!! Is that amazing or what??? 😲 About two in the morning last night, in my back ally I laid a blanket on a guy crunched in a corner around a cement walled area. It was freezing out. Do you know how good it feels to administer to someone really suffering? Do you think I would do what I do if there was not a huge payback of self-respect, worth, validation, gratification, appreciation, gratitude and purpose? I suggest that everyone make a habit of finding someone, anyone, even random people to give that to. Who does not want all that for themselves! As I do it for others, I get it for myself. It might take doing it a few times to really get the feelings for yourself. This is how life works. And... every single time I care for someone... on the other side of that coin, it is not only saying I do not care about ICE, trump and all his supporters, it is a smack in the face to them.

What is happening political is excruciating for me. Most people do not care about anything emotionally until it happens to them. They objectify. Well, everything happening has happened to me emotionally. The injustice, fear, abuse, discrimination, dick head behaviors, lies, gas lighting, authoritarianism at its worst... I grew up with all that and suffered from it and I've written about all that in this blog many times. I almost committed suicide from it all when I was eighteen years old. That fascist, fake religious, republican, authoritarian style abuse, it never leaves. I just learn how to deal with it. Every particle of my soul acts out from it with the love of this journey which includes standing up to it publicly as strong as possible. That is called self-respect. My entire life I've been working on my self-respect and now is the time to show it. I stand up to how evil all around me is trying to deceive as when I was growing up. I write about my thoughts and feelings and how I deal with them in this blog often maybe too often for some people but... this blog also serves in a sense as my diary. It is mine so fuck you if it turns you off. It is personal and the writing is therapeutic for me... for me first and then for anyone who wants to relate. I do not write for the masses. God knows I am not writing to change anyone's mind. Anyone who is not of my mind politically... fuck them, thats the way it is now. Democracy is now at war and people are dying. That along with the music and fun, friendship and respect, etc... I am not one dimensional in spirit.

Today was to be a day of protest, a nationwide stop of everything at 2PM for like 5 minutes? Just go outside and bang some pots and pans. Wake people up to the fact that something is happening. Show a sign of solidarity. Arrange your work break for it. Gather in groups. Well, there was nothing that I saw anywhere including on media. But Mo and I were out protesting. We went to the busy corner of Main St and Charleston Blvd in Downtown Las Vegas where there was a lot of visibility. Mo was able to hang out on top of the piano for the two hours we were there. I blew out the area with musical sound louder than I can remember projecting. My music for the mood and statement of protest is becoming stronger and stronger every time I do it. We interacted with a few people. I gave a woman on the street who was passing by a sleeping bag and she broke down crying in appreciation.

My vision of how to respond to the fascism of trump and his supporters is becoming clearer. It is not about creating awareness. It is to become more about administering to those suffering as a result of everything. Sadly most people do not care, do not want to care, can not handle emotionally the need to care. Fascism is winning from the ways it exhausts people into inaction. Even my friends online are getting twisted in their thoughts on dealing with the situation. I can no longer go on social media to see what people are saying or to see what it going on. It just makes me too angry. I can act out and deal and respond and resist in other ways and I need to keep focus with that. I want to have a say in the matter... how I have my say in the most productive way with the energy and capability... telling people how it is, and what needs to be done, that does not serve the world through me as much as one on one love, compassion and empathy. And I have this Traveling Piano to do that with. Thank God.

I have these really personal experiences with people that I live for because they are so real and true to spirit. It takes my creating them for myself and I am so grateful for that ability. Having the experiences is a tradeoff with financial security I suppose. So be it. Maybe that is what helps me to stay real so others can be real with me. I gave a woman a sleeping bag. She was resistant to let me know that she stays by the railroad tracks and someone had stolen hers. I could not tell if she was homeless because she takes care of herself in staying clean with clean clothes. But, I got the fact out from her friend and when I gave her the blanket she began to cry. Such a small act of kindness is really big for those living on the streets. When you have these small personal one-on-one experiences with people that are real, that is what makes you care.

When I take Mo out with me and the weather is good, he can sit on top of the piano for about twenty to thirty minutes before he becomes to fidgety and then he needs to get lifted off and put on the ground to walk around as I continue onward with my work. Of course I lift him into the truck and then get into the truck myself to left him onto the piano. I myself am not as strong as I was just a year ago when I could lift him onto the piano from the ground. Part of Mo wants to be on the piano as that has been is spot for almost 16 years and another part of him is confused as to why he can't move around. He does know now that he will fall over if he moves. In his younger days he would be all over the place. On some days he was moving constantly pacing back and forth on top of the piano to not miss seeing or smelling anything.

I have enjoyed creating collections throughout life. I still collect. For example, I have a small collection in my room of rocks and gems found throughout the journey. These days, there is an absolute point where I say "stop" with any collecting, probably because I live in such a small space and have no choice. Now, I collect small things to fit in a small space. I enjoy what I own immensely. I see no use in having nice things hidden and stored away. Back when I owned a house I had a rock collection that filled an entire truck, no kidding. When I sold my home and moved for this journey, I turned the collection over to a friend who had a farm for stewardship and hired four guys to move it all. There were actual boulders and large glacier rocks. I used to store things with the thought that some day I would do something with it all. Right now I have a collection of photos in storage from throughout the journey. I would like to sell them.
Many are already printed, framed and signed. At this time last year I had a gallery up the street where space was given to use. When people would come up to give me a few bucks I would say half jokingly that, "I cannot get a bottle of water for a few bucks, if you would like to show support, go check out my photos for $20". That was working out very well and the main agenda was to have one spot for the first time ever with the Traveling Piano to showcase it to find backing along with the agenda to get my photos out into the world and into peoples hands verses online. It was also a great way to create interactions with people. The owner of the space had drug addicts living on the property and they fucked up the entire situation while the owner allowed that. Oh well, what was really great for the community and me turned into not so great. I still have a lot of inventory and its not meant to be a personal collection. I must find a way to raise some financing from what I have left.

My friend Eric went to his church and made a presentation asking members for blankets. Specifically he said, warm blankets and comforters for people on the streets. He collected about thirty five of them, really nice... too nice to be thrown away or just left wherever after one night. But then again... who am I to judge to whom these blankets are given? My job is to see someone in need and to help them out. Just like with my pillows, I had two extra and gave them out at Christmas. If someone feels special, warm, loved and secure for just one night, thats enough. Hell, for that matter if its just for 5 minutes... good enough. People spend $100 on gambling at a casino and five minutes later the thrill is gone. They pay $15 for a 90 second roller coaster ride. The enjoyment of a fifty dollar meal is gone by the next day. A blanket no matter the worth on the cold ground for night... makes me think of the word "perspective." Worth is relative for feeling value and nothing more when it comes to humanity. I gave my coat to a guy on the streets seven years ago. He is still around and talks about it to others at ever opportunity. I know this because others tell me.

Last June, I began finding pianos online that people no longer wanted. Then, I found people to help me move them and placed them all over in downtown Las Vegas for the community. I would go around every night when walking Mo to check on them and play on them. I put small signs on them saying they are Community Traveling Piano's with a QR code for people to contribute. Since June, four people have contributed a total of $31 bucks. Wow... not. I would cover them with tarps and bungie chords when it rained, clean them from the desert dust, tape them up when someone would break a piece. Of all the tuners in Vegas one responded to help tune one piano . That was it. They are all too uppity. People have cried as they told me how significant it is to have a piano to play on because they have no room in their apartment to have one. I know at least six homeless people who play on them daily. One said, "this is how I find my peace". Homeless people have helped to protect them. Well, the pianos are almost done, falling apart, out of tune, two piano's (the worst ones) had been stolen. Two benches, stolen. Once one person stole a tarp when I put them on... that began a trend. Now they just get soaked when it rains.
After a rain none of the keys play but... then they dry out and become playable again. One piano was moved because someone tried to set fire to it. Probably some kids drunk from a nearby club. At one spot, the furthest away, the restaurant one of the pianos is next to said they would help take care of it and call me if something went wrong. They totally blew off that offer. As Mo is able to walk less and less everyday I can only get to it to check on once a week. The restaurant called me two days ago for the first time to say its in bad shape. They really want me to get rid of it but did not say that because, they know it has fallen apart because of them. Now... they care, when its no longer of use. I suggested to a few homeless people that they go and take it apart for firewood and get the wire from the strings. All in all, the pianos have lasted what will soon be eight months! I think thats pretty good out in the elements. Three are left somewhat play-able out of seven. I love that the city has not been able to touch any of them to try and take control for the sake of taking control as they do with everything. I am a smart cookie. I found all visible spots where the business owners are city ordinance coded to have control of the spaces. They obstruct nothing and draw little attention.

Everyday now revolves around Mo. When he was young I had to stay intensely connected with his energy, being careful for example to watch that he did not run into the street by accident. I never stopped him but he knew not to do it because we were connected through energy. My attention was on him. That was all that was needed for him to behave for his entire life. We would go to the movies together, be anywhere in the wild, walk into casinos with no leash because... our attention and energy were always connected. There have always been periods of time where I just let go of him in thought so he can be on his own until he chooses to reconnect, especially when walking. No more. Now I have to watch him constantly. If I walk ahead he sometimes falls down and I have to walk half a block back to get him back up and walking again. Its interesting how with his back leg joints just about completely shot, he never looks like he is in pain and never expresses any.

I am a list maker. I make so many lists that they constantly overlap and repeat. It has always been a necessity, not to reach any goal but to help prioritize the trillion of thoughts going through my brain in every moment. With the severe dyslexia I have always dealt with and the trauma that has resulted while growing up because no one knew what dyslexia was, I cannot operate without lists. One of the most common challenging traits traits I've mentioned in this blog over the years has been with the issue of having any where-with-all. That is because I have always suffered from feeling overwhelmed, confused and literally lost in my head. My experience throughout my formative years was dominated with feeling stupid, disempowered and "special" in not good ways.
Feeling isolated in relationship from others, I was never able to feel part of. Dyslexia played a huge role in that along with the fact that I was inquisitive, wanted to be creative, gay and knew that paying the role everyone want to give to me in order to feel "part of" was not going to work. Family and society for me was authoritarian with a hierarchy full of fallacies and corruption. They used to call it conservative. That has now become full blown fascist because at its core that is what it always was. I knew it from the start and fought the gas-lighting with every "tooth and nail." Anyway, now I fight every tooth and nail to continue to understand myself from the past and to live in the truth of spirit that I have found and nurtured through life, through the grace of God. Lists keep me on track with all that.

I will continue to do what it takes to stand up for all those suppressed, those now dead and those suffering as a result of fascism and those who support it knowingly or not. I believe in equality and basic human rights. There are specific issues my life has been drawn to concerning that. The Traveling Piano has never been one dimensional. It serves for life in many ways. Along with musical fun, friendship and respect, empowerment and inspiration... my work has always made it a point to be a voice for those racially and ethnically suppressed immigrant or otherwise, for American democracy, the environment, homelessness, alcohol and drug addiction, water as a basic human right, lgtbq issues, christianity in the truth of spirit, my Ukrainian heritage and genocides in other places specifically now in Gaza and the West Bank where Palestinians live. These social issues have been ongoing in the blog of almost twenty years.

For anyone to finally "wake up" because being "woke" with thoughts like, oops, millions of people have died because of what I supported, I didn't realize, I'm so sorry"... that would never work for me. Apologies came in three parts. That would be acknowledgment, remorse and empathy and then restitution through amends. None of that is possible for a truly indoctrinated republican fascist. They are unconstitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. They are just like addicts. Their drugs are their authoritarians. That is what rules their mind, body and souls. Usually, they just need to get shoved back under the rocks they crawled out from under. In WWII we just went to kill as many as possible because... fascism isn't defeated by voting or the law.

The labels of Republican and Democrat, Independent or anything else has died. We are now dealing with fascism out to destroy life as we know it for ownership, profit, manipulation, use and control of humans for the sake of a few. Fascism will not work, never has, never will and is against human truth in spirit. Fuck trump, fuck all republican politicians, fuck maga supporters, fuck the CEO's of this planet. I do not care if people have been fooled or not. They must be treated as adults and held accountable for their ignorance. There does come a point where the idea of "survival of the fittest" enters into human reality as with other species. Boundaries and limits are a reality in life.

I've been told that our American democracy needs constant, nurturing and attention least we risk losing it. Do not become complacent concerning politics or we will lose our constitution and freedoms. Well, that is happening real fast. We are losing all our freedoms. While most people are becoming exhausted in dealing with fighting it, as they wither, I will stand strong for myself first and foremost. I've never been a just lay down and die type of person although every fiver of my being wants to be that way. It is just who I am in spirit. I've spent my entire life to reach the point where I am in maturity. I have worked hard to know myself and others and human nature at its core. I am not about to throw away my life, my personal knowledge, hands on experience with people from all walks of life, what I have learned about right and wrong while spending time throughout the world and in communities both rural and urban throughout America. My ethics and moral character will not allow me to be silent. I will NOT be silent about life and death for myself or others.

I was totally indoctrinated into diocesan roman catholic, republican authoritarianism throughout my formative years while knowing at the same time something was wrong at every turn. How could my own family be talking about their neighbors and family negatively behind backs? How can they justify what is obviously wrong, the political lies, cheating, manipulation to get what they want through governmental politics? As I matured and individualized "through the grace of God," I found what was right, the truth. Turning Point comes to mind with last years assassination of Charlie Kirk. What a disgusting organization calling itself religious.
Those people my societal "circle of trust" criticized throughout my life were on the right side of what it is to be human at the core and in the truth of spirit. For my first twenty-five years I lived in confusion, doubt, chaos and self-disrespect from those in my life. The second 25 years I spent exploring it all to understand and learn who I really am as a person and to embrace my true intent in order to own the self-respect I have been able to share with the world. With that, the Traveling Piano journey began and I am an additional twenty years into this third stage of life. I have garnered a clear understanding of exactly "what" was wrong with the politics of my upbringing. It was all about hierarchy and authoritarianism propped up through lies, manipulation and control.

Sadly, an example of authoritarianism at it worst is with cops. With all the propping up of "thank you for your service" I always say... show me a cop that will call out corruption in the ranks, who will stand up for truth and justice to protect and serve when it comes to their own criminals in the force... and I will show you a good cop. Find me one, just one! It will be actually one in a million because of their indoctrinated brother/sisterhood, that "inner circle of trust." They are too weak and spineless, full of fear themselves for whatever reason to stand up and fight for what is right. The most they can do for themselves is quit the job. Throughout the Traveling Piano journey I have met a total of two cops who quit rather than report their fellow officers or superiors. I've dealt personally with over a 1,000 law enforcement officers throughout my journey.

A perfect example of being tossed when no long of use for authoritarians is our US Veterans. Use them, thank them for their service, toss them to the streets. All republican politicians have repeatedly voted against and have actually removed US veteran support. Another perfect example of authoritarian deception is the mis-use of religion. That is one of the top tools for the authoritarian deception. There is a reason our founding fathers created a separation between church and state. Look at what is happening concerning religion becoming a dominate force in US government now! It is what republicans have always screamed and preached loudest about Muslim countries. They are trying to turn the US into the exact hell hole they have preached against for my entire life. As a practicing Christian, (not through any religion) it turns my stomach into pure hate.

Republicanism now transparent as fascism, demands an "inner circle of trust" as dictated by an authoritarian while selling the false rationalization that what they are doing "it is best for everyone." This makes them "special" and elite. They really mean "their own" and fuck everyone else. Their lives mean nothing and if others die, no problem or just rationalize, rationalize, rationalize. Most who suck on republican fascism do not realize that they are in that "inner circle of trust" as long as they can be "used". They have zero power or influence or worth and will be discarded when rendered useless for the powers that be. The concept of being elite and special has always been dominant for them.

It is what it is here... I was born into republicanism. I tried in many, many ways to embrace it throughout life and spent years understanding it at the core. I have found now after seventy years of observation that republicanism at the core enables lies, coverup, self-centeredness, manipulation, force, threat, fear, domination, obligation, expectation and control. Never has a republican ever admitted defeat or wrongs or even wrong doing. Even when they are exposed... still, they just lie through their teeth. Give me an example otherwise. There are none! Now republicans have turned full on fascist are trying to re-write the truth of spirit as fascists dictate. Are you still sucking on republican media sources? Are you still voting republican because you feel there is no other choice? You are a fascist. I do not like fascists. Everything bad is now good? Just say no to that. Fight it at every turn. Destroy that kind of thinking.

US politics have always been dominated by both capitalism and socialism at the same time. The goal has been to live together equally for the sake of all, the whole. A government of the people, for the people verses kings and fascist dictators. That has been the goal. Our capitalism and socialism has been defined through two main political forces. What was Republicanism, those who have always favored the tearing down and rebuilding for the sake of profit... and that of Democratic Socialism always favoring the value of what exists and building on that through insight, trial and error, admitting mistakes and learning from them to move forward. This has always been the USA's democratic way. This is why American Democracy has always been described as an experiment. It affords the opportunity to both succeed and fail for the sake of being all that can be according to the constitution.

The Traveling Piano has always been political. In the beginning I used to say that I have no commercial, organizational or political affiliation. There is much more to being political than belonging to a political party/organization. We all live in a society together and work through politics to do that. A fascist republican last week started a sentence to me after making it clear that "what is happening is for the best"... he began to say that he did not care if I was a liberal democrat"... I cut him off and said fuck that. I am no longer interested in that old, now non-existent liberal verses conservative, labeling, parroted bullshit... I am 100% against fascism and that is what we are dealing with now. No further discussion.
