Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his conviction

21. I read the books when they were first published

and my mother said the books were bigger than I was. I have never forgotten the progress of a loudmouthed minority to seizing full power over a modern state in crisis.

We're definitely not in crisis, not like Germany was in the 20s and 30s. Our crises are all being manufactured by Russian troll farms and onshore punks who are trying to one-up each other, getting Middle America to believe stupider and stupider things.

That our crises aren't real is in our favor. Germany was a mess, the majority being left with little to lose. That's a huge difference right there and I hope it's one that prevents the lunatic wing of the GOP from taking over. Most Americans have a lot to lose.

I don't think TFG is going to be the problem. I see someone like Stephen Miller, assisted by men like Gaetz and Gosar, as being the problem in about 15-20 years. TFG is just too damned old and too damned dumb to pull it off. Others in that party are neither old nor dumb, just young and spectacularly wrong.

One thing Shirer and Hannah Arendt and other authors have taught us is that if it could happen to a country like Germany, industrialized and educated, that it can heppen here, too.

We need to remember that, always.
