Sadly, most Americans do not study history. If they were at all conscious of the way fascists worm their way into power, consolidate it, and rule thereafter, they would never consider another Trump presidency.
...or am I giving them too much credit? Given the rampant homophobia, Islamophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, xenophobia, et al., perhaps they would embrace the cause no less passionately. One way or the other, we may rest assured that there will be violence after the elections on Tuesday.
Thanks for this important essay. Today’s the day. We have no TV and have vowed not to watch or tune into any media about the election, to go to bed early, and wake up tomorrow to see what’s going on, which hopefully will point to strong Democratic victories up and down the ballots.
Your concerns are misplaced. Maga Republicans are not fascist and Trump is not Hitler. In fact, Democrats have shown themselves to be adept at stealing elections going back to Daly in Chicago during the 1960 presidential election. And the Democrats, along with their allies in the media, have ridiculously and unscrupulously painted Trump as a Hitler figure which is both ridiculous and scurrilous. The real danger to America comes from the left, from academia, from woke people in corporate and elite America who are digging the grave of all that modernity has achieved. That should be the focus of your concern.
Agreed! Trump may not be Hitler but he reads his books, he called Hitler "good" and he loves Hitler and his messages! Trump loves violence! Trump loves the enemies, such as Putin and Kim Jong Un. The Republicans are insane, just like Trump, Musk and Vance!
Very well stated. Thank you. I’m restacking immediately.

I agree, Lenny. Someone sent me a nasty note about this posting. It's amazing how people have their heads in the sand.
