Illiberal regimes have been popping up since 2016. There was the coup in Turkey, the election of a violent thug in the Philippines, and now an outright fascist just won an election in Brazil. There have been in recent years other takeover by illiberal leaders see Russia, Hungary, Poland. and the UK. The US has seen a rise of fascism cheerled by non other than the orange shitgibbon himself. The election 2018 was supposed to be turning point to begin the end of his regime. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. Well, it just got a lot harder with the shutdown. I don't think the Republicans want the Democrats to be able to do any governance or hold OS accountable. Things could get very ugly in the coming weeks. There are clearly forces at work to weaken the protest movements. And our corporate controlled media is only exacerbating the problem and NOT doing actual journalism.
Anyway as with previous years I have named, I have finally found a name (not the original one I saw a few days ago, but this will do) for 2019: I did Nazi that coming. I have been using that phrase a lot these last two years and I continue to find opportunities to use it. Of course, it's a pun because it sounds just like I did not see that coming. However, in reality I did see that coming, so it's an ironic pun. And I'm also calling the people I refer to when I use that comment fascists.
