As the United States hovers at the edge of fascism, the history of Germany can help.

@JustRosy I don't have a link that seems to point directly to her work to preserve, catalogue, and exhibit artwork produced by Japanese internees, though I see this work mentioned in various obituaries written about her when she died several years ago. Here's an article she wrote in The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture. Suan Turner Purvis was her name, a good neighbor and friend of mine who died shockingly and suddenly, and whom I still grieve.

@wdlindsy I'm so sorry to hear that she passed. It's clear that she was a very good and talented friend of yours. I've added the link you shared to the list of links under the video. It's right under the "Allegiance" links. Looks very informative! Thank you for sharing this with me!

@JustRosy Yes, her death was quite a shock. She had just retired from years of teaching art in public school, had gone to an art workshop in New Mexico, and on the way home as she changed planes in Atlanta, she fell dead walking to her next flight. We had just seen her only days before as she came home from her final day of teaching and unloaded years of art items from her car.

I can't wait, we will then see all these Trump supporters celebrate then find the reality of a trump presidamcy is not as good as it was made out to be, we need to remember last time he ignored security briefings, may not sound much but that to me is pretty serious when your commander in chief can't even attend a briefing and take what is being discussed seriously.

He won't conceed power, either why would they, so will there be an election in 2028, in fact if they hold both houses will there even be midterms,?

@zleap That's the thing, isn't it? In putting people like Trump (or Hitler, or Stalin, or Pol Pot, or Jim Jones) into power, people imagine they'll make life better for themselves and worse only for the others they want the fascist leader to target.

But it never works that way. They end up hurting themselves by enabling the fascist dictator.
