- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Nazism never went away. The Prescott Bushes and Joe McCarthies were always there, pulling the strings of the Nixons and the Reagans.
They were in your schools, in your hospitals, in your commerce. You just never saw them because they were at the upper echelons, rubbing their grubby hands together in satisfaction while looking down on you like a spider watching its prey get inextricably tangled in its web.
In other words, yeah it was on purpose. My theory is that it was their plan all along to make a resurgence now, when the last of the WWII vets and people who remember that era are either dead or in assisted living homes.
Even people who were kids during Nixon are retiring now. The new norm has shifted gradually, decade by decade, and now almost no person still working in the US is old enough to remember the FDR economy.
They played the long game, dude. This is their culminating event.
