Given today is Guy Fawkes day in the UK, this post seems appropriate.
Even though it’s not about the UK.
Or someone trying to blow up the houses of Parliament.
It’s about America and the President of the United States – a man who seems intent on blowing up democracy.
Isn’t it funny how it’s always the people who bang on about ‘freedom of speech’ or ‘the land of the free’ who end up being the ones who operate in the opposite way.
What’s happening over there right now is truly terrifying.
Cancelling freedom of the press, comedians, or anyone who has a counter point of view to what is going on over there. And in a classic example of mob mentality, the people who support MAGA or the Republican party are so lost in their bloodlust they can’t even see what they are advocating.
A while back I watched the A24 movie, Civil War.
I really enjoyed it.
Shame I didn’t realise what I was actually watching was a documentary.
