Anyone else just watch the interview of Rachel's with Timothy Snyder?

[triron]

Now I'm fucking scared to death. Trump's calls to Putin preparing for polling tyranny.

[triron]

1. I just ordered "on Tyranny"

[c-rational]

10. I ordered the book months ago when first introduced by Rachael. Started to reread during the

segment and cut a check for the ACLU.

[muntrv]

2. The more I watch what is happening, the more I feel

that the only solution is Operation Valkyrie. Col. Von Stauffenberg, where are you?

[triron]

3. Maybe.

[smirkymonkey]

5. Dead, unfortunately, but there must be others like him.

I have been thinking the same for a long time. We can't take any more chances with this. It's him or the entire nation. I know which side I am on.

[triron]

14. I have ideas about where it may come from but who knows (if anywhere).

[msongs]

4. when ya can't tell the official cops from the mercenaries acting like real cops.... nt

[PatSeg]

6. I've had the book on my Kindle

for awhile. Just started reading it.

[Sugarcoated]

7. What's "polling" tyranny?

[triron]

9. Tyranny and chaos at the polls (voter intimidation, etc)

[mitch96]

12. That's what Snyder was mentioning.. The "federal troops" are getting practice in Portland

And by using border agents they are already desensitized to abusing people. Next watch for Prison guards being used for this "protection of federal building". The are de sensitized also. Watch of voter intimidation at the polls. Very spooky, very 1930's Germany with the brown shirts...
As Snyder says, Fascism starts slowly and builds. It was a very good interview. And the book is an eye opener..

8. even better... NPR On Point

interview with Meghna Chakrabarti

[triron]

11. Yes it's good. Thanks.

[Thekaspervote]

15. Not being Pollyanna, but really? Play out what it would take to do this

1. someone a lot smarter than dotard, he has yet to win at anything he tries. Never has a plan, just a reactionary
2. Tens of thousands of mercenaries, and all the supplies and equipment that it would take to carry out this kind of mission
3. A completely bought SCOTUS...ain’t happening
4. They would have to have a lot more cooperation from the voting public than they currently do

Some thoughts from another DUer that makes a lot of sense

75,000 officers to "pacify" the largest American cities?

The US Army couldn't pacify a country with 1/3 the population, with over 300,000 troops who were authorized to use deadly force, backed by Air Force strike aircraft, attack helicopters and drones. What makes him think he's going to be any more successful? I forgot, he's going against "weak" liberal protesters!

Not happening in the life of this administration!

[triron]

18. I don't know, but it doesn't seem Hitler had these resources either.

Please anyone who has knowledge about Hitler and the Nazi's rise to power please chime in.

[Grasswire2]
