<p>A few days after the election, I received a piece of writing in my email inbox about art and fascism. It was a thoughtful piece and good advice but I also thought, “Yeah, I wrote almost <a href="https://artiststruggle.wordpress.com/2016/12/17/art-under-fascism-is-good-actually/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the same piece</a> in 2016. This lady’s is a newsletter, mine was a blog but the content is almost exactly the same.” Did this lady copy me from 8 years ago? No. Not a chance. She’s a big shot. I’m sure she’s never seen my blog.</p>
<p>I think what we’re seeing is that there’s not much to say this time that we didn’t say the last time our country elected an authoritarian fascist. (The same one!)</p>
