     For a variety of reasons, some seniors struggle about owning up to that right now, because they could too easily be added to the hit list. (There were always challenges, but it was very different when we had a truly free country.)

     Hippies were largely Baby Boomers and many have not been as prosperous as their parents, from”The Greatest Generation,” who were very fortunate to have benefited from the GI Bill and a much more equitable tax structure (high on the wealthy and low on the working class) then what came after. A lot of Boomers matured when pensions were on the decline, too, and they may be struggling today on meager Social Security checks. They might owe a lot of money now as well, such as for student loans and taxes –which places them at high risk of being targeted by this administration.

   Well, we all know what it means these days to be a “Trump hire.” We can put Miller on our list of “Beyond the Peter Principle” people with those who drink way too much, “do anything” to women, and kill their dog for being “untrainable.”

     Miller is a fully formed fascist.

     If you watch Miller, he appears “dead behind his eyes,” quite an eerie persona.

       If we look close enough, the dark shadow under Miller’s nose reminds us of a specific mustache of 80+ years ago……same propaganda, same evil, goose steps!

   True the White Elders understand Fascism we have seen it before. Now where are the young people, do they understand their way of life is going away. The ideals they grew up with gone.

     Young people have a lot more skin in the game than us old hippies. They should rise up the way the young hippies and civil rights protesters did in the ’60s and ’70s, and some are.

     Old people asking where are the young people are as blind as Kamala supporters asking where Jill Stein is. Check the front lines. The people standing up to ICE. The people protesting police brutality. The people protesting genocide. In other words, the people protesting fascism, not just Trump.

       Not true, Dienne.
       Several articles have appeared asking why so few young people are turning out to oppose fascism in DC. As Stephen Miller said, most of the protestors against fascism are “elderly hippies.”

   Miller ridicules marginal populations because he is a man full of hate and consumed by antipathy towards various people toward whom he directs his venom. He hopes his diatribe will bring a few people into his own tribe.

   Miller, the anti-Semitic Jew, is filled with bile. For one thing, he can’t dance or rock and roll, for another he missed the Movement era, for another he’s got something wrong in his neurons, and lastly, he’s just a stone drag. Somebody should get his consent to dose him with psilocybin, lovingly. He needs help. But if we look at the videos of the protests, we see a lot of heavily disguised elderly hippies, costumed to look like pissed off young Texans. https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/1d/0a/53159b2c4681aff4ea0112e7c9ba/iceprotests-sailearanda2025-03.jpg

   I used to think “abolish ICE” was a wacko position.
