    And there’s something about fascists relying on steam powered machines while the rest of the world has modern electricity and computers and scientific equipment, that makes excellent social commentary on regressive ideology.

    Trump’s hold on the GOP is beyond scary. He only needs to say “______________ is woke so bad,” and then the republicans norm is to agree. He could say “Cancer research is woke so bad,” and his hogs would hoot and holler for cancer.

      I bet if he called capitalism woke, he could get the “children of the Cold War” my dad’s age to hoot and holler for communism. Not that he would, because the other GOP classic line is to call anything they don’t like communist, but that’s how self-contradictory they all are under his influence.

      Huh. I wonder if socialists posing as MAGA chuds and calling capitalism woke would produce anything funny.
