New Ad That Needs To Be Run Across The Country:

"Do not obey in advance." - Dr. Timothy Snyder

Many are familiar with authoritarianism and fascism expert Dr. Timothy Snyder. His book "On Tyranny", is the seminal guidebook for defense of democracy.

When Snyder admonishes us to 'not obey in advance', he is saying to not be bullied into acceptance of things we find abhorrent, and thereby allow them to be 'normalized'. Right now there is an concerted effort to quiet those who call out "fascism". Do not obey in advance.

My parents watch a lot of Chinese TV. They get a lot of censorship approved news.

Their opinion is that Biden is old and senile. He can't talk straight and has lost his marbles.

They don't like Trump either but Biden is just terrible.

Something I want to point out:

Phoenix news, a very influential outlet in China is started by Rupert Murdoch and AFAIK they still have a stake in it.

An unstable America is great for Russia and China. So yes, while Trump is a racist POS, the levers of power in China, who have never given a crap about the diaspora are rooting for him because overall instability there is great for the motherland.

Asian Americans, talk to your parents. They might not be ok.
