55. You have an increasingly rare insight to those days due to your family history.

The GOP is busily eliding any such references from all our history books and diligently accusing the American Left of being "Nazis" and "fascists" ... in the inimitable GOP projection style. Crippled minds actually buy that shit, and can't seem to connect the rabid, foamy-lipped hatred of 'Communists' with the identical attitude possessed by all fascists throughout history.

Be sure to hold onto your family history and make sure it's well-understood by all the family members that will listen. Such things willl necessarily be relegated to "oral histories" as the Reich Wing succeeds in scrubbing the texts.
