Paranoia on Parade: How Goldbugs, Libertarians and Religious Extremists Brought America to the Brink
by Dave Troy
This article is a masterpiece of deep research and a clear, impeccable accounting of the real story of how what we’re seeing right now is the end-result of the last century of fuckery by the same set of anti-democratic movements which seem to just keep reanimating. It’s also a monster of an article, 12,000 words and, get this, 262 footnotes. 😱
Like me, Dave Troy has been a target of bad actors who have tried to attack him while he uncovered history and connected it to the coup we’re all experiencing in real-time.
Speaking for myself only, this epic, important work should be seen as a giant posterized dunk on a bunch of people who have no idea what they’re talking about.
Please read this, and listen to the incredible podcast accompaniment by Dave and Jack Bryan.
Please read and share.

I’m listening to the podcast— it’s brilliant. To understand what’s happening, we need to understand the historical context.
Um, 6 am, I'm halfway through. Love Dave's format of discuss read repeat. With only one other smart colleague responding. Also, I did not know he had a podcast. Damn you, Jim! Also, a pair of blue herons flew overhead. Good morning
