(6,265 posts)6 disc double side series on WW2 yesterday all day. It was alleged early on in the campaign that installed d. trump as POTUS that he had a copy of Hitler's Mein Kamph on his bedstand. Watching him, Bannon, no doubt Jarad and many others work to destroy our democracy for their fascist matrix I have no doubt. Just the way he treated the children of asylum seekers on our southern border. FORCIBLY separating them from their parant was eerily like what happened at the gates of Auswitch...our form of government must be overwhelmingly defended in these upcoming years. Our Supreme Court is serious trouble for us, the police have been that way since the 'strange fruit' days. Our slide toward fascism as a government is happening faster now since d. trump finally unleased his racist 'brown shirts' on the streets of America. It's been in the works openly since the Joe McCarthy days. He was slapped down, yet while his fascist sentiment publically receded from the MSM, it was just waiting for a racist sexist like d. trump to pick up their banner and run with it.

(8,971 posts)Trumpism has taken up the fascist playbook using every one of these tactics. I would add two more elements: Distrust of the "mainstream" media and a "corrupt and rigged" election process. Two of TFG's lie repeats have been "the fake news media is the enemy if the people" and "the election was stolen".

(9,998 posts)in my sophomore World History class in high school in Madison, WI. We were still close enough to WWII for it to matter. Thank you, Raymond Quant, for teaching these valuable lessons to me and my classmates, and 4 year later, to my younger brother and his classmates. I haven't forgotten and neither has my brother.
