#yz writes a thing

[solarbird]

I have no idea what’s about to happen now – and neither does anybody else, keep that in mind. But I do know a few things:

White people: I know that a LOT of adult and older Black people are going to be INCENSED about this, and it’ll be because of Kamala. This is because the Black people I talk to in this cohort say so, it’s not a hypothetical. They see this as being BECAUSE of WHITE REJECTION of KAMALA HARRIS. In short, that it is racist as fuck.

LISTEN to them, ACKNOWLEDGE their view, be fucking RESPECTFUL and take their opinions seriously because I do think it’s one of the reasons.

As I’m writing this, Biden endorsed Harris. You want to fix item one? WHITE PEOPLE, GET HER THE NOMINATION. FUCKING DO IT. SHUT UP, AND DO IT.

White people who didn’t want this: do what way too many Bernie people did not do, and GET OVER IT NOW. It’s done. None of us can afford to carry any grudges.

Bernie people: I have talked with so many Bernie people still carrying grudges, so same goes to you: GET OVER IT NOW. It’s DONE.

Everybody: Many of you will get someone you don’t want. I don’t care, I’ve never got someone I actually want, and you can’t afford to care either. The Democrats have just thrown away more advantages than you know and the work gets harder now, not easier.

Work your asses off to get whoever comes out of this elected, no matter what.

Goddamn, we really, really do not have room for any more self-inflicted wounds. Got that?

I hate the phrase “vote blue no matter who” but I got some fucken news: Vote blue, no matter who.

This time, it really, really, really matters.

only time will tell pt.2 (l.sy) [teaser]

pairing: sangyeon x blackfem!reader | wc for teaser: 559 | au(s): secret agents, exes/enemies to lovers genre: action, angst, smut, rom-comish | warnings: none for the teaser

summary: after a year and a half, you finally heard the name you didn't want to be mentioned again. lee sangyeon. now more than ever, however, it's a must for agents to stick together due to a list of hits from the resurgence of korea’s more dangerous syndicates.

a/n: i'm back! i missed writing so much!!! 😁 also, the reader is actually more race neutral because throughout the fic i didn't really describe her physically, just her personality attributes. i'm also not afraid to say this is a million times better than part one, i've grown much i feel and i'd love if this reaches people!

here we go again, you thought to yourself as you situated yourself beside jacob. it was the one night yz agency had to get along with everyone else. so there you sat, dress clinging to your body and stomach growling.

jacob heard it, laughing under his breath as he dug into his blazer pocket and pulled out a piece of candy. he looked over, handed it to you, and smiled as you popped the candy in your mouth.

“this fucking thing is taking forever,” you groaned, almost forgetting the dress you had on as you slumped in your seat. jacob nodded in agreement, leaning forward, his head hitting the table.

“how hard is it for someone to go on stage and talk? hell, i could even do it. i might do it…” jacob said, turning his head to look at you. you gave him a smile, patting his head.

“you sure could, buddy, do it.”

you pointed at the stage, wiggling your finger slightly so he could continue. jacob was about to say something, but eric came to sit beside the two of you. he plopped down in the seat, almost out of breath. your eyes shot to him, eyebrow-raising in confusion.

“how late am i?” he asked, trying to catch his breath. you looked at jacob, and a similar mischievous smirk was on his face.

“you missed it. dinner is over with," jacob said, shrugging his shoulders.

eric looked at him, eyes widening. “dinner’s over?” he whisper-yelled, almost in a panic. “i didn't eat all day.”

you were about to say something until your stomach rumbled. eric heard it loud and clear, squinting his eyes in your direction. “you fucking liars.”

you pouted, looking down at your stomach, and then at jacob. “what a buzzkill…”

you and jacob both heard your names as younghoon approached. younghoon didn't spare eric a glance as he asked the two of you, “how is tonight going?”

“where's the food? i came strictly for the food,” you said, crossing your arms over your chest.

“one of cre.ker’s bigger agents is late, and their boss stepped out, so we can't start until their ceo returns, and we're all settled. typical cre.ker though, always running on their time, never considerate for anyone else,” younghoon said, crossing his arms as he looked at the other ceo’s. “note how everyone is here except them.”

younghoon finally gave eric a stare and scoffed before walking away from the table.

“what did i do?” eric asked as he looked at you. you shook your head, fixing a strand of hair on his head.

“nothing, he's just the biggest cre.ker anti.”

claps were heard around the place as you brought your hand down from his head. you instinctively clapped along, looking at jacob as he nodded to the stage. you looked over, seeing it finally beginning. you almost cheered, knowing that the food portion was growing closer.

or so you thought… it felt as if speeches about the same damn thing continued to drag on. eric was close to falling asleep, and jacob was rubbing his eyes, trying to stay awake. it wasn't until it was cre.ker’s ceo's turn to speak. as he spoke, you felt yourself nodding off; that was until you heard a name you thought you didn't have to hear again. 

lee sangyeon.

taglist is open if you want!

What are your tips for responding to comments on a fic? I feel like I don’t know what to say when someone starts speculating on things that would be spoilers to talk about or when someone leaves comments like “Character X should get over themselves already and do the smart thing” when that can’t happen for plot/character reasons.

ooofff yeah you came to the right place 🤣

i actually did get a lot of comments speculating on spoilers while i was writing odnlb. like, for almost every chapter! most of it was well-intentioned stuff like "ooh if x just happened then that must mean yz!" and whether they were right or wrong, i would just tell those people, "you're paying really good attention! guess you'll find out next chapter!" they don't mean any harm, and i don't think they're trying to get spoilers out of you. so just remarking on their good observation and close reading skills is what i'd do, then thank them for enjoying the fic ❤️

for the “character X should get over themselves already and do the smart thing” people, i kept my comments a bit more distant and formal. they were walking the line of character critique pretty much, which is fine for the most part. however, if they aren't taking into account the nuance of the character's arc, or that characters' motivations, then i'd point that part out.

^ this happened a lot with odnlb felix. he got plenty of criticism for not helping adrien and then being sad he couldn't help adrien/ doing monarque's bidding. lots of readers were kind of indignant that odnlb felix was being portrayed as piteous sympathetic, especially since he was presented as one of the stronger villains. "felix has no reason to feel sorry for himself" was one of the most common threads i saw, which...yeah. valid 😆 obviously i couldn't reveal a lot of what felix was going through/ WOULD go through, so i would just be like, "yes you're right. that's so silly of him. we don't know why he's doing this, we just know _____." and then leave it at that. sometimes people just want to be mad and most of the time i just let them.

i hope that helps you a bit anon! don't take comments like that too personally, or in bad faith. like 99% of the time you get those comments it's because the reader really cares about what's happening to your characters!

but also, if you get someone being too annoying or harsh or critical, just don't answer! or even better, block them ❤️

Talking about Carta Mantua because I have thoughts on my own OC I need to write down.

More Celestial Spectrum and general spoilers for my original stories:

Carta is a bad person in every universe and every timeline. She has to upload the laws of the universe itself even if it means driving people to madness or outright killing them.

She tries not to be a bad person by having genuine care for those she loves. She absolutely does love Golden Time and X YZ and the other Celestials under her. She loves having fun and being a team with them. She has loved and lost many things.

Of course she feels horrible for having to do what she does to make sure that the universe doesn't split in half or outright shatters. If someone tugs too hard at the frail web of infinity she has to go right up ahead and make a select choice without a happy outcome.

This is why she has to kill Suiuus and the absorbed Smiling Man. This is why she has to leave all of her alternate selves throughout the universe alone. She knows that by keeping the law of entropy going the universe will keep intact. St. M has to be scarred for life. Madeleine Marionette has to be heavily mangled. Moroko has to be the last one out of the warehouse. Every Celestial has to trust Carta blindly. Perenelle has to peek behind the curtain of reality.. MVF has to look up to her.

Carta is irredeemable. She has to be.

I decided I'd write bulletpoint summaries to figure out how to write the next few chapters. So like "x happens, you happens" etc.

But the thing is... when I do that, it helps me get ideas (yay) so then I flesh the bullet point out into 1-20 paragraphs but its STILL in note format so there's some actual lines that are DONE done (like dialogue and some particularly impactful moments of description).

then there's some in a format I HAVE to rewrite later (like "he absolutely loses his shit, tries to rip X limb from limb" I will have to reword ALL the stuff like this which is like 70% of the "fleshed out" summarized notes I write... and its always annoying because it's like... those parts are Basically done conceptually, they have all the details I Needed to include, it's just I worded them like notes and not in nice literary wording so they're NOT fucking usable yet).

And of course, there's the priginal summary bits where I'm just like "They flee the city, go to x. He says never talk to me again, he cant bear it, and goes off to the mountains." Which I'll have to fully flesh out of course. But at least it's all malleable stuff I can word however.

The 2nd kind of summary notes are my best/worst friend ToT on the one hand it's great, the whole scene is fleshed out! On the other hand it's awful cause I know Exactly Every detail I have to write but I have to translate it from "he fucking smashes his head in, seeing red" to like "he crushes his skull under his heel, watching the blood spread across the wooden floor. It's finally over." And like.... ;-; I have to do that shit with every single line, except the occasional blessing where I wrote Full Finished lines in between the 70% note-taking descriptions.

Like. Here's my summary notes I wrote for chapter 11 of what makes monsters stop devouring:

Scenes of Kunlun LEAVING the alliance, and Ye Zun so desperate to help his bro that he marches out there to go confront Kunlun and army ALONE, and ends up telling him off and telling him hes no hero compared to shen wei if he LEAVES, and then Kunlun grabs him and intimidates him just enough for Ye Zun to panicked grab back and absorb a little energy threateningly, then YZ stops cause he wants to make this negotiation work and appear acquiescing no matter how scared he was. Kunlun thinks that’s very brave of him, and proves he’s also very loyal to the thing he came here for and thinks that proves Ye Zun really believes his Black Cloak Envoy is noble and worth all this, and then lets him into his tent to discuss returning. Then the scene of them riding horses ahead back to alliance camp, shen wei immediately seeing them (with mask on) and coming to meet them, and Kunlun inexplicably apologizing for having left without discussing with the chiefs and hearing them out first, and promising he will hear them out if they allow him. Meanwhile SW is just BAFFLED his brother isn’t in danger and that Kunlun isn’t angry and SW is SO confused over what’s going on, but very floored, cause he admires and respects Kunlun at least rep/status wise so he doesn’t know how to handle someone ‘higher’ than him bowing to him and pleading forgiveness and acting submissive to him. What the FUCK did his brother go do???

And in a later arc I wrote a mess of dialogue notes:

At some point after, YZ confronts Kunlun over and over about WHY he got so mad when YZ was trying to help, and finally gets the answer ‘ i already told u i dont’ want you hurt, i don’t want you hurt because of me’ and YZ doesn’t get it, so Kunlun threatens to LEAVE. So YZ tries to get a brainwashed minion to read kunlun’s mind for the answer to avoid a problem for SW, and then Kunlun knocks out the guy before it can happen and goes and finds YZ to privately chat. YZ goes wild and desperate n tries to provoke KL into either telling the truth or injuring him so at least shen wei doesn’t feel like there was any choice BUT for KL to leave or die. Because despite yelling n threatening YZ, to keep YZ away and to keep him from touching his energy, KL still hasn’t actually hurt him. Again, KL says he doesn’t want YZ hurt he wants to keep him safe - and YZ has NO idea how leaving YZ helps

And its like wow I turned that into a 10k chapter but also ;-; is that some people's first drafts? Just the word jumble coming out of your brain trying to summarize? I assume not, I assume a first draft has to actually Be finished sentences lmao. But yeah I write this kind of stuff for long stories and they're a fucking mess because 1 yes I'm grateful cool I know what the plot outline is but 2 dear god its frustrating taking so many Half Written pieces of description and turning them into proper pretty 5 paragraph prose. Anyway yeah some behind the scenes on writing process! ToT

2day

It hurt when my closest friend told me she sees sadness in my eyes behind my smile and laughing, and knows I don’t tell her everything… She knows I talk to a therapist, but that I mostly just vent about stupid shit or work and don’t get into the deeper, personal stuff -which is another issue for another day.

She said she hopes I have someone I can share my real, inner thoughts with. And it stung, because I don’t. I can’t trust anyone like that—not just with my secrets, but with the real, unfiltered stuff. This friend knows some of my deepest things, things I’ve told no one else, yet it’s probably only 15% of what’s in my head. I write to get things out of my system, and I spar almost weekly in kickboxing to feel a bit of peace in my head. But when she said that, damn, i thought she didnt notice lmaoo I brushed it off with a joke.

That’s me yz akhhhh

My bad

[mmm-amba]

gratitude

it's snowing today, and yes it's cold, but it's beautiful and i'm lucky enough to have a warm, high quality coat (ty yz for the rec ^_^)

the company of others -- i've been so sick of hearing myself think for the last few days so it's great to be able to speak out loud, talk shit

fashion :)

cohortmates helping me in math

feeling settled in my room. i have a nice desk now where i can concentrate for long periods of time. my bad posture achiness isn't as bad, and i also can write with both hands if one hand gets sore.

i'm thankful for having a choice. a choice to worry and fret and second guess, or to maybe try not to be like that as much. i've been doing the latter more. and it also helps that school is keeping me busy. but it's really incredible how much mindset can play a role in it. granted, i've learned how to be a better friend. but the mindset that i am someone who deserves friends and i am someone who is good company for the right company is so... liberating! empowering!

my awareness of my body. i've been pushing my brain so i did some yoga in the late morning. and it was fun losing my balance, feeling the stretches/limitations of my body. i like how certain things feel so natural on my right side and otherwise so difficult on my left side.

I’m going to say one final thing about the Trump shooting, then turn the rest of this into a resource post, highlighting some useful information about Project 2025, JD Vance, and the two together, since there is some involvement.

I argued in the past that it doesn’t matter whether Trump’s ear was hit by a bullet or shrapnel, because it fucking doesn’t, it was still an assassination attempt. I’ve argued about how Democratic conspiracy theories give us more MAGA and give them something to counterbalance against January 6th.

But most importantly, going off about which happened gives Donald Trump more attention for something he wants attention about.

For a blessed few days, nobody was talking about the stinking orange buffoon, not really, and given that literally nothing changes about the story he wants to talk about if it’s shrapnel or if it’s a bullet, that was a really good thing. It was “fuckity-bye, ear” in the news and I was delighted for it.

Even talking about him overhyping the damage or whatever just gives it all more air.

Don’t give it – or him – any air. Don’t let him get up. Until and unless something actually major actually happens – not hypotheses or speculation, actually something major – keep it quiet, because it helps shift the focus back on him.

Keep the focus on Harris and on Vance. That’s what’s good for us. Not speculating about trivia nobody outside the obsessed cares about: himself, as victim.

Make sense? Good. I’m shutting up about it until and unless there’s some actual hard news, and I recommend you do too.

Have some more resources on Project 2025 and JD Vance; use them as appropriate when talking to your friends and family about the election, particularly the Trumpy ones:

This is a two-fer: Trump again denies Project 2025 — despite Vance writing foreword for chief architect’s book. This is the same book that calls progressives “unhumans” and praises the January 6th insurrectionists. So that’s fun.

You’ve heard the “childless cat ladies” with “no stake in America” quote, of course. Push comes to shove, he really doesn’t think women – certainly not childless women – should be able to vote. He doesn’t just come out and say it like the GOP candidate for governor in Nroth Carolina did, but it’s in there.

There are so many levels of Christofascism in the Project, here’s yet another one: A Jewish couple were rejected as foster parents because of their religion. This is the future Project 2025 envisions

FBI director issues warning on ‘frightening’ Project 2025, specifically its plans to make the FBI directly responsible not to the constitution but to one man, Donald Trump.

How J.D. Vance Went From Green Tech Investor to Climate Change Doubter – it’s about money and power, naturally.

JD Vance roadblocked dozens of US diplomats while he obsessed over their views on gay rights, because he really, really hates the queers.

Anybody remember the Spoils System in the Federal government? I kind of doubt it, because nobody – I mean, literally I’ve seen nobody – talks about it in relation to J.D. Vance’s radical plan to build a government of Trump loyalists based on Project 2025. Not only was it massively corrupt from top to bottom – absolute looting for the winning political party – but it even triggered the assassination of President James Garfield.

Enjoy this big collection of JD Vance being absolutely evil. He really hates women without children – no, he really hates women in general, and hating women who don’t have (white) children is only the start.

Here Vance supporting police tracking women’s periods for evidence of abortion.

There’s more, but this is getting pretty long. I’ll leave you with this last little nugget:

The AP had to take down their fact check about JD Vance never having sex with with a couch. This is because while he didn’t actually tell such a story in Hillbilly Elegy, they can’t prove a negative, so couch time is back on.

And with that, enjoy the weekend.

This poem doesn’t have a meaning.

Yee to the haw, I will walk backward from god into hell and ask for Satan’s saw to build a house, a home, a new dawn. (YEET) I can’t breathe and I only cough, the air’s toxic and so is this site every sip I writhe beneathe the cavernous bough I want to rip out my throat, because there’s this itch that makes me wanna bite. (YEET) I need some medicine for my soul nothing of a quick fix but a wholesome cure this sickness is getting more than just a cold feels like a fucking demon I need to abjure. (YEET) I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, I just want to be free and healthy but I gotta suffer, I oughtta suffer although this sickness won’t get me down. (YEET) This poem doesn’t have a meaning, this is just me whining I want to live and I want to die I want to die and I want to live. (YEET) Fuck my life, fuck your lives everything is shit fucked says the bard with the synth on a chill september day. (YEET) This bitch is dead.

I have definitely made plenty of jokes about having a Valentine's mini event, but I could never have predicted what we're getting instead. A White Day event?? With all the wedding skins??? And it's a murder mystery???? GFL writers really been busy while stuck at home.

“I heard a human phrase today. It was... It is not wisdom but Authority that makes a law, or something like that.”

“Which is true, to some degree. It is Authority that makes the law. But they are the Authority because they are the wisest. The phrasing makes it sound like Authority shouldn’t make the law.”

ok i simply do not have 21 more hot takes about azur lane (this post currently has 29 notes and i already did 8 hot takes), i was not expecting this post to get more than 3 likes, so i will have to scratch the bottom of the barrel for some of these. also i probably do not get to 21 hot takes.

simping exclusively for one faction isnt good. it's also not bad. it's in-between. you have to learn to be a single-faction simp effectively or you get situations like HMS and Iris simps seething for 2+ years because no major events, or IB and IJN simps acting like absolute pricks the moment they get any representation.

in the same vein, i have not seen an exclusively Sardegna simp that isn't a dick. it's like the faction attracts the worst of the worst.

there is no shipgirl i hate. "but boat, didnt you say you hate langley and bache?" no. no i did not. i said i do not like them.

DIDO IS NOT A YANDERE DIDO IS NOT A YANDERE IF I SEE ANYONE ELSE SAY THAT IN EARNEST I WILL BE THROWING HANDS leave my smol insecure maid ALONE

clevelena and entybel are too overdone for my taste. surprisingly bishood is not? even if there's as much bishood material as for the other 2 ships, so it's a matter of taste. i like shipping helena with noshiro, for example. and enty is so shippable with zuikaki, akagi, essex, or even vestal. let's divorce these women up, let them explore other options, alright?

from my experience, a considerably bunch of ppl from the fanfic side of the AL fandom do not like OC shipgirls at all? or stay away from them as much as possible. i simply do not like that. my main writing project has a Billion OC shipgirls (somewhere around 100 i think), and while only a few are actual characters (everyone else is just mentioned doing things, like: "battleship USS Montana was doing x while yz happened with the main cast") i do enjoy my made-up blorbos and want to showcase them to the world.

the american purple 406mm main guns are the best budget option for battleships. do not listen to elitists. you're fine using them.

i have seen an embarassing amount of people call Littorio demeaning stuff simply for being openly into women and that's just pathetic behavior.

More Than One Shipgirl Is Trans, btw. in my hc: ulrich is transmasc, tirpitz and ��gir are transfemme (ägir because she entered a deal with parseval, who is good at magic and rituals, but that's worthy of an AU and not a tumblr post), and a few others. and i think that's very cool and more people should have these hc, even if they're cis like me. However, good luck saying this on reddit.

in the post above i said i don't find a nuance in making all the shipgirls Just Gay but you know what, i do like the shipgirls being mostly queer. mainly because i recently discovered i'm into men as well and, you know. having them be bisexual is how i hc them, but making them be Just Gay is also acceptable. if this seems contradictory, surprise! you have contradictory opinions on things as well, it came with having a brain.

do not trust ark royal simps. the only ark royal simps i know that i trust are ppl who tend to hc her as a milfcon with motherly/aunt instincts, which is a big departure from her actual personality and also what i do with her.

talking about ark royal, ark royal meta is actually good personality-wise. she is still obsessed over lolis/destroyers, but it's much more clear that she sees them as daughters or something similar. and treats them as such, too.

actually, Type II ships are hot, cool, good and fun for the whole family. i want more. i want Amagi II, Hood II, Tirpitz II, Prince of Wales II, Enterprise II, etc.

GIVE ME MORE RETROFITS. "but didnt you just say-" shutup.

HAVING 5 PRS PER SEASON IS BAD. i want a return to 6 PRs per season. i want more shit to farm. give me more women to unlock.

That's all the hot takes i have rn. sorry for not getting to the actual number. i just like azur lane a lot, y'know?

idk if this is a thing on tumblr but, for every like this post gets i will reblog it with a bunch of non-specific azur lane hot takes i have.

idk. if you want to.

V - Vulnerable — What’s something their s/o does that makes them weak to their knees?

There are times when Schlatt would get overwhelmed in social situations or maybe by overworking. Sure most people would not see him getting overwhelmed by the huge crowd and booming sound, but you, having been in a relationship for so long, would be able to recognize this whenever it would happen. Schlatt would be fidgeting with his phone, scrolling mindlessly or staring at his PC screen unable to think clearly when you would slide your hand into his, letting him know that you are there for him if he needed you. Wordless support. An anchor even. This would let him know that he isn’t alone and doesn’t have to do things by himself. This would further extend into squeezing his shoulder or knee. Perhaps even a full-on bear hug (regardless if there is a size difference, small bear hugs exist) from the back if you two are spared some privacy. 

Also, whenever Schlatt would put up his Big Guy demeanour in front of you, mean and tough and all, and you challenge him back by putting your face directly in front of his - that just leaves him flustered. He wouldn’t be able to figure out how to respond because he would want to double down on his act but his facade completely shatters. When you would leave after ‘winning’, Schlatt would have to sit down with both hands covering his face, trying to recover quickly.

W - Witty — What was their reaction to making their s/o laugh for the first time?

Chances are Schlatt didn’t care or notice at first. But after figuring out how he felt towards you, and seeing you laugh in that new light, Schlatt’s reaction would be nothing but giddy. Would try his hardest to not look weird smiling at himself or staring at you while you laugh. Schlatt would feel a sense of accomplishment whenever you would laugh or chuckle at his jokes. He would also thoroughly enjoy it whenever you would clap back at him and his snarky remarks and jokes. This sort of bantering would be the starting spark to your guy’s relationship.

X - Xylophone — What is a song that describes the relationship or their feelings towards their s/o?

Cocoon by Catfish and the Bottlemen  

“I cocoon     

‘Round your shoulders       

When you’re half-cut

And you’re frozen

And you’ve got that visible breathing

You’re depending on me again”

“I remember when we 

Swapped names and I thought maybe

You’d stay and try and out-drink me

Your friends all hated it”

“But fuck it if they talk

Fuck it if they try and get to us

’Cause I’d rather go blind

Than let you down”

Business by Catfish and the Bottlemen 

“I wanna make it by business

I wanna tolerate drunk you honey

I wanna make it my problem”

“Listen I know that you said you’d be sleeping

Babe, it’s been enough night

Narcissistic but fuck it, I’m calling

I need to know you’re alright

You see, now, I’ve found a lover

Who can be in peace with my mother

And ain’t ever letting you go”

I Ain’t Ever Loved No One - Acoustic by Donovan Woods, Tenille Townes 

“I guess before I met you

I didn’t know better

But you swept in out of nowhere 

And you set the bar

For this stubborn heart”

“And when you met my family 

Everybody know that you had me wrapped

I ain’t ever loved no one like that

And when I said I loved you

I didn’t care if you said it back

I ain’t ever loved no one like that”

Republican Chris Sununu says that Trump openly admiring Hitler won’t change his vote, that it’s basically okay and that he thinks the majority of Americans will think it’s basically okay.

This is a Threads link, sorry. It’s where I have video right now.

I expected 2024 to have more overt religion and less overt Hitlerites. I mean, in the end, the fundamentalist movement will get whatever it wants out of a Trump presidency – and that’s a lot – but I didn’t think they’d be so openly support someone so pro-Hitler.

Not just fascist, not even just Nazi: pro-Hitler.

Republican Governor of New Hampshire Chris Sununu was on CNN, earlier, talking about this. If you watch it, note that he doesn’t deny a single word of anyone’s accounts of the story. Not one word. Doesn’t even contest it, doesn’t even shade it, doesn’t even try to spin it; he accepts all of it as completely true. The Trump-campaign issued a slur-laden denial, but nobody believes them. Everyone else, including his supporters, seems to agree that it’s all completely true.

And yet, for them, it doesn’t change a single goddamn thing.

Bouduan: “In supporting the [Trump] ticket, in saying that, that is saying you’re going to support someone who Marine General John Kelley fits the definition of fascist. For sure, he says. In supporting the ticket, that is something you’re supporting.”

Sununu: “Yep.”

He then says he isn’t “okay with” Trump praising Hitler, but he’ll still support him and thinks America will too.

He does not say the words “fascist dictator” when he says he thinks America is ready for a second Trump administration and he’s all in to help with that, but that is what he’s saying.

For the first years of my long fight against this, a lot of it was about trying to convince people that this kind of raw, fascist, dictatorial power – in the case of the fundamentalist core, to institute a religious order to their liking and kill me and everyone like me – is what they wanted, and what they were working to create.

And it looks like a lot of them – all official Republicanism – have finally faced that reality, that out-and-out desire to be American Hitler, and said, “well… fine. I’m in.”

There is precious little time left. Whatever you have in you, whatever you have left, use it. There’s still a few days remaining to write Go-To-Vote letters, if there’s still Trumpy people you know, that you have emotional connections to, try to get them to explain it to you. Ask them why. Get them to put it into their words. Maybe that’ll jog some memories of conscience along the way. It probably won’t, but as long as there’s a chance, we all have to take it.

If you’re thinking of holding something back for later, don’t. Or as they said in the last fascist war, “smoke ’em if you got ’em,” because there really isn’t a day after if we lose.

12 days remain.
