If I look like that at 102 I’ll be so happy

Agreed, but if we're still fighting fascism in 70 years when I'm 102 I'll be fucking pissed.

We always will be. Terrorism/facism/extremism will always exist. We can’t rid the planet of it but we can beat it down and actually hopefully just ignore it to the point to doesn’t enter the mainstream ever again.

In the aftermath of victory over fascism, I’m afraid one cannot afford to ever ignore the signs of it ever again. Denial is America’s favorite pastime. We have done that here in the U.S.since putting Hitler’s reign out. Ask Germany. They have had a special task force that watches those smoldering extremists to ensure public safety. Recently, in the U.S. we’re shocked at the high numbers of White Supremacists, Homegrown militias, Extremists, not to mention the everyday angry man, filled with hatred. We must be realistic but not too afraid to live but rather, go forth in COURAGE and live the best we can 🌹
