There is a very significant, “exhausted majority” of Americans looking to move past this rotten moment in American life. They have lost trust and faith in government, business, media and not-for-profit institutions at a moment of technological, cultural and economic upheaval. Fascism did not rise in the 1930s because it was strong, but rather, because democracy was weak. The cycle is repeating its... more

    Great conversation, Steve! Dems need to pick up winners however they can — but, within reason.

  • St. Miller rant

    steven miller is sick . here’s blunt & direct: Miller’s ranting about democrats being responsible for charlie kirk’s death is offensive considering trump was just as likely as not behind the assassination. kirk wouldn’t shut up about 2 things; breaking away from supporting bibi & release of epstein files: he had influence over most if not all of maga so who benefited most from shutting him all the way up.

  • I am listening!

    Thank you for your clear and thoughtful historical analysis. You are a master at identifying the key elements of the daily fascist dramas. You are concise and direct. I hope that Democratic leaders can listen and more can continue to rise to the occasion. I do not agree with everything that you say, but your messages are timely.

    From Another Great Admirer

  • Clear messaging but has a tendency to become repetitive.

    The Warning has a very clear message and is generally short and to the point. Steve seems to care greatly about the well being of The United States and knows what he’s talking about from the political and historical perspective. Currently, however, I feel that he’s going around in circles and becoming rather repetitive and a tad overly bombastic to make up for it. I also agree that the ads are overly loud, generally for something obscure and bizarre and interrupt the flow. Despite those issues, ... more
