F is for Fascism - Episode One

The house is on fire, and too many people are still pretending it’s just a candle burning.

This is the first episode of Red, White & Bruised, a weekly political analysis series. Every Sunday, I’ll discuss the headlines and give my two cents on this current hellscape that we are living through. 

For the debut, we’re walking step by step through Donald Trump’s march toward authoritarianism, a documented trail of power grabs that’s dragged this country closer to fascism than most people want to admit. This isn’t speculation. This isn’t “both sides.” It’s the ugly truth, and it’s time we stop pretending everything is fine.

If you’re ready to cut through the noise, face reality head-on, and get a little bruised along the way, you’re in the right place.Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
