     Speaking of pro wrestling, I see Mark "Undertaker" Callaway having as his podcast not only Glenn "Kane" Jacobs but also Donald Trump (a man arguably trained in outrageous hyperbolic speeches through his WWE appearances) -- and wrestling reporters are covering it under the pretences of "democratic process" and the choice of voting being "the most important thing." It's shoddy, yes, but also so dangerous.

     Flash Mob Of One repeated this.

     The media have normalised and even promoted fascists - not only in the US, but also here in the UK, with Nigel Farage and Nick Griffin before him - all while reinforcing a narrative of a "democracy" which doesn't exist. Fascism should be called what it is, called out, and stamped out, wherever it exists. And we should never forget that these false democracies are enablers of fascism.
