America, we got to get back to doing what's expected of us as free citizens in this democracy.

That means being tolerant, being respectful, staying informed, and being engaged.

I'm former Congressman Joe Walsh. Follow me here and join the millions of Americans who are renewing their social contract with each other.

The social contract, it's on us.

Hey, I got to start out pissed off. I don't like to start out on a Friday pissed off.

I like to start out on a Friday, man. I like to start out on a Friday,

man, a little more chill because we're heading into the weekend. But I can't, I can't be chill.

I can't be chill every fucking day. Trump and his government say things and do things that must not be accepted in this country.

This is a rhetorical question.

What if?

Okay, it's a rhetorical question.

What if fascism arrives in America and takes hold in America and people are too bored or

unsurious to even notice?

I.E., what if fascism comes to America and fascism is in America and the people don't

notice?

For whatever reason, the people don't notice. Now reason the people don't notice now look that's a

rhetorical question because I think fascism is here did a TV show the other day again got into a little bit of it with somebody who said, we're creeping toward authoritarianism,

fascism. And I said, ain't nothing about creeping. We're not creeping toward this country,

this oldest, greatest democracy on the planet. Fascism is here. I've got a fatal flaw i can only tell you what i believe i can only say what i believe

and i get worked up

because we've normalized shit in this country with Trump that we should never normalize.

And if we keep doing it, then fascism will keep creeping up and it'll be here.
