Yale historian Timothy Snyder: How to Stop Fascism

Quote

Voting is the most important way to stop fascism in the United States.

Hitler came to power after an election which enabled his appointment as head of government.  It is much easier for fascists to begin from within than to begin from without.  Hitler’s earlier coup attempt failed.  But once he had legitimate power, inside the system as chancellor (prime minister), he could manipulate it from within.  In the American system, ‘voting’ means not just going to the polls yourself, but making donations, phone-banking, and knocking on doors.  We are still, happily, at the stage when unglamorous actions can make the difference.”

Also, coalitions are necessary. “In 1932, in the crucial German election, the far left and the center left were separated.  The reasons for this were very specific: Stalin ordered the German communists to oppose the German social democrats, thereby helping Hitler to power.  To be sure, the American political spectrum is very different, as are the times.  Yet the general lesson does suggest itself: the left has to hold together with the the center-left, and their energies have to be directed at the goal rather than at each other.”

Man I pity you. You really believe this feldergarb don't you.

You watch Brandon break the law as set down by the SCOTUS and you believe Trump is a fascist. An amazing feat of warped logic.

I really need to ask...do you have some sort of hormonal imbalance? Just what is it that urges you to be so...so...bloody icky?

Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

I tried to have a productive discussion about voting laws and you didn't want to hear it.

Someone posts something and you don't want to understand it.

And then you ask about hormonal imbalances and call someone icky.

True conservatives demand more than that of themselves when they engage in democracies.  Otherwise we should just vote based on mud wrestling...

I'm just saying.

So you're saying we should never elect anyone to gov't who might be a potential dictator? 

For example, if someone were to weaponize the courts to silence their political opponents - we shouldn't let that guy into office right?

Yeah, you gotta watch Trump. He has an unhealthy amount of control over the DOJ, FBI, IRS and MSM, and he cheated on elections several times in the past 8 years and got away with it. Oh wait, that's the dems, you little cultist dummy. 

The Dems are the ones who were caught cheating on elections repeatedly, committing crimes and lying with the FBI, using the IRS to target opposition groups, using the DOJ to target political opponents, and they have CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WashPo etc LYING for them all the time. CNN even gave Hillary debate questions before. The amount of cheating, lying and dirty shit the Dems have ben caught doing over the past 8 years is unreal, and that's just regarding elections.

Biden's family crime spree overseas is a whole other series of novels.

If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Bug-juice is the new Kool-aid.

You haven't even posted ANY EVIDENCE of Biden breaking the law, so he doesn't even need the fake SCOTUS "immunity."

250 years of "no one is above the law" and it only took Trump to require "immunity" cause he couldn't do the job without breaking the law. And that is the guy you want in charge again. Talk about ICKY, YOU ARE.  🤮

Straight to the point: yes, it's a choice. Being civilized is a choice, it cannot be just written somewhere or anywhere. There are no guarantees; nobody assured us of good times forever and no matter what we do (or don't). No matter how much we seek or desire it, simply doesn't exist. Civilization, humanity is a continuous, persistent work; thinking; choosing; and responsibility. We learned it the last time. Now we know it again.

If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

There you go, first source. And then, logically, there are two or more, modern Caligulas with the nukes. In a small jar. Would this explain why we don't see advanced intelligent aliens?

That was litigated in court and partially rolled back. AKA, NOT a crime. Duh

You should stop pretending to KNOW ANYTHING about the law.

One reason that I have such a universally low opinion of politicos is this. If the opposing party wins, that candidate is a fascist, a dictator, a Nazi, totalitarian. Both sides do it and the age of the internet will only make it worse. 

Are you not paying attention to what Trump IS SAYING ABOUT HIMSELF?

You ran away from the other thread you were pushing this BS in when I asked you to actually quote what Trump was saying.

There's nothing to refute, robomarx. The author of that shitty piece is affiliated with Yale; a democrat stronghold, smothered in woke sauce. NOTHING from that school is worth considering - EVER. 

But thanks for shilling; it's always good to know that everything you post is consistently wrong. ;)
