Before you throw out the next Nazi, Hitler, Goebbels slur...

85. We had survivors warning us about the threat of trumpism.

It looks like revisionist history to downplay the threat now that we have the White House and a razor-thin majority in Congress. Meanwhile, we still have groups who either claim to be Nazis, espouse the same ideas, or worship Nazis as folk heroes. We have people in high offices -- local, state, and federal -- who court these groups and try to enact or enforce legislation in those groups' favor.

The insurrection of Jan 6 should not be allowed to be a training exercise or precursor to fascist rule; it needs to be made the last gasp of the extremists seeking to replace the Constitution and rule of law with their manifestos and rule by dictator.

DU has historians, researchers, political pros, and just plain news junkies who can, in the current slang, "bring the receipts" to counter attempts to dismiss the threats we all watched and lived through for at least four years. RW extremism is a global problem, empowered by extreme wealth disparity and the sophistication of propaganda tools using personal data collection and targetting never before available.

I'm just an under-educated hillbilly, but I can tell when the weasel's in the henhouse.
