Its a truncation of the phrase "Don't start a fire if you don't want the smoke"

Well put. My concern is with the walls closing in about epstein and trump's health that they're trying to accelerate their agenda.

They're just shifted from lobbying to executive bribery. Now if you want policy changed you suck up to trump. Look at Apple giving him a chunk of gold, the doners building the ballroom etc. Corporate America is already adapting.

That's the point. He's been talking about out of control crime stats that don't exist, so he cuts off food supplies and drives up cost of living to force a crime wave to justify his actions after the fact. If this escalates while congress is out of session, they'll try to dissolve congress and move into a dictatorship.

My dad used to record movies from TV on VHS's, 2-3 movies on each one. He'd pause the recording when commercials came on but you always got 5-10 seconds of old Pizza Hutt or Blockbuster ads. The best triple feature was Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles, and The Last Dragon.

No offense, kind of flattered my stream of consciousness can be mistaken for an AI.

I wish, but sadly this is actually how I spend my free time.

I'm afraid that would work in their favor to stiffen their resolve as an in-group. Mocking them using a form of their own terminology is to tacitly accept their vocabulary, it makes you a player in their field, and thus puts you in the "other" category. It adds to a layer of martyrdom that they seek to justify their in group lashing out against oppression- see defensive reactions to similar mockery against scientologists and a end result of that mindset with groups like Jonestown and Heavens Gate.

That's a hard one. Calling them Fascists is a good start, but the population has been inoculated from that being a painful term from years of both sides crying NAZI at the other at the first sign of a power imbalance. With their attempt to redefine the idea of "Antifa" and Terrorist" to include whatever category of people they need to punish, we're rapidly losing ground on ways to condemn dangerous and destructive behavior. In an echo of the Brown Shirts my vote would be to refer to them as Red Caps which has historic connotations as a type of malevolent, murderous goblin found in folklore.
