In reply to the discussion: Fascism Expert Timothy Snyder Says Trump's Oligarchical Coup Is Fading [View all]Big Blue Marble
(5,666 posts)3. We are far from the end game.
Synder's comment as an expert on fascism is signaling that we as citizens still have the power to
stop this gang of thugs. This is a major acknowledgment that all is not lost.
I expect the movement to resist will grow stronger over the coming days.. So much is happening
so fast it is hard to follow even for those of us who pay attention, and yet the polls this week
are signaling that people are paying attention and do not like what they see. These polls
do not fully register the impact of the attack and abandonment of Ukraine or the attack on
our own military and national security.

I'm sure jailing his "enemies" is part of the long game. What I'm more worried about now...

He lied on his visa application. That's *supposed* to lead to permanent deportation, no further visas. nt

I disagree, sorry. I don't think "just sitting back" is ever a really good strategy.
