Donald Trump is a fascist. He and his rogue's gallery of a cabinet, family, and circle are uniformly unfit to hold office. Everyone in the Republican Party is a fascist at this point—you cannot belong to the party attempting to overthrow...
A few things that have happened: first, I decided to buy some ad space on 4chan's /lit/, /mu/, and /g/ boards so if you're coming from there, then hello. I've seen a few other people market their work through 4chan advertisements. I...
