Trump's most obvious lies (like pretending he never led chants of "lock her up) are perhaps the most disturbing.

Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.

@rbreich That’s what happens when you let liars into power: They use the power to create more & deeper lies to gather more power.

Once the critical mass is reached, you’ll blink and the world has changed. Now they control the narrative.

Trump held an event for megadonors this weekend.

These super-rich individuals don't seem to care that he wants to free Jan 6 insurrectionists.

Or that he echoes the words of Hitler to dehumanize opponents.

They'll overlook Trump's fascism in exchange for tax cuts.

Be warned.

@rbreich It’ll probably be the same as it always is: The pro-business right lifts the anti-democratic far right to power, thinking they can ”control” them and benefit themselves.

Obviously, they are wrong and many who thought they’d win end up losing everything as the state quickly grabs the industry in the name of fighting whatever half-fictional enemy is the fashion of the day.

We saw it in Germany, we saw it in Russia. It can happen here.

Modern fascists always attack women, immigrants, & LGBTQ+ people first. They long for a white-led, patriarchal, theocratic society.

Remember that when you see reproductive rights, gay rights, and migrant rights stripped away.

@rbreich It’s not just modern fascists. The German nazis in fact didn’t come for the communists first, as the famous poem goes.

They came for the LGBTQ+. The clinic who had performed one of the first gender-affirming surgeries was among the first targets of Hitler’s still young nazi party’s band of thugs.

It is the same. For our slipping toward fascism is an inborn trait. We need to work to stay out of that slip. Actively. Stopping means slipping back!
