This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

I loved the Grumpy Old Men movies as a kid. And now it’s the fate of the goddamned country. 😩

I finished Supacell. I had a couple of issues with the storytelling but overall, I liked it. The vibe is They Cloned Tyrone without the humor. I had a lot of trouble understanding what was being said between the accents and the slang. Had to give in and turn on CC after the second episode.
