Third Way — which has declared "war" on progressives — is a Trojan Horse for corporate America. Their funding sources are a Star Wars cantina of billionaire megadonors, Fortune 500 CEOs, giant corporations, and corporate dark money bundlers.

You can buy a car on monthly payments without a big deposit, and a car is something you can literally drive off in. But if you want to buy a house, something you CANNOT STEAL, you need a deposit. This is insane. Its just gatekeeping home ownership for the middle classes whose parents can help.

I know so many Americans, who are the best people I have ever met! It's sad your country is going through these...
Panel 1: Against a light blue background, Sven stands on the left, looking up at a white, simplified character sitting behind a high gray desk labeled "INSURANCE". Sven says, "I NEED HEALTHCARE". The insurance agent looks at him with an open mouth, saying, "LMAO! YOU SERIOUS?".

Panel 2: The scene slightly zooms out. A second white character has joined the first behind the insurance desk. The first agent points dramatically at Sven, shouting to his colleague, "HEY! THIS GUY WANTS HEALTHCARE!". The second agent throws his head back in intense laughter, shouting, "AHAHAHA!!". Sven stands there looking dejected and small.

Panel 3: The scene abruptly cuts to a bedroom with a purple wall. Sven is in bed, waking up in a cold sweat with a terrified, wide-mouthed expression, sweating and shouting, "NOOOO!!". Next to him, a green-skinned partner with blonde hair opens their eyes sleepily and asks, "WHAT'S WRONG, SVEN?".

Panel 4: A close-up of Sven sitting up in the dark against a pitch-black background. He looks deeply shaken, clutching his head with sweat dripping down his face. He somberley says, "I THINK I HAD AN AMERICAN DREAM...".

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far and they cut all their heads off, when the rich get above themselves, the French just stop working and everyone remembers who actually holds the real power. Use your power. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

You may not think you're fighting fascism by staying aware and informed. You are. Fascists are cockroaches who thrive in the cover of darkness & the obscurity given to them by propaganda. Every time you see them as they are - you deny them that cover. The truth is a powerful antidote to fascism.
