I hadn't seen it, but it's an interesting thing for FICO to be saying because FICO is a right wing populist and is very much aligned with Mr. Trump on pretty much every issue.
So it's not somebody who would be out to get Mr. Trump on the contrary.
So that's I haven't seen it and I have no personal knowledge, but that's a very striking bit of reporting for that reason.
I'm happy to, but I'm going to do it from the position where I've always been, which is that whatever you think this evil is, once you recognize it as an evil, you're responsible to be doing something about it.
And any discussion that we're having about the nature of the evil is important insofar as it instructs then the tactics that we choose and the strategy that we have.
That's the point.
That's the whole point, right?
What I'm worried about here is that there have been a number of folks who have essentially made the claim that everybody who says that this is a radical evil, for example, fascism,
Those people are just off their rocker.
We don't have to pay attention to them.
And therefore, and here comes the dangerous part, we can do nothing.
And we've lost a ton of time.
And I think we've disempowered some otherwise very capable people by telling that story.
That like all the people who are warning that Trump would someday use violence, et cetera, those people are crazy.
We should ignore them.
We've lost 10 years.
I mean, I don't want to over-dramatize this, but we've lost 10 years where a lot of good organizing could have been done because people used an ideological debate as a reason to set aside.
And so now what I'm worried about, and I hope I'm wrong, Jennifer, what I'm worried about now is that now that it's just so transparent that there was something to worry about, whatever you want to name it, and there was a reason to use serious terms in describing that danger, that now those very same people are going to say, okay, I accept that it's a very serious danger.
I accept that it's fascist.
I hope I'm wrong, but then that becomes their form of action.
