His true crime was getting Trump elected the first time.

    When talking about Hitler everyone jumps to the war and the Holocaust, but for years it was about control. Control of all faucets of Germany: media, industry, schools, government, judiciary, and of course vilifying an out group.

    You mean facets not bathroom appliances.

    You start with the facets, then you get the faucets.

    You could consider media, industry, schools, government and judiciary to be faucets of information or power. Make up your own terminology so you can sell your own political theory books, yay!

    "an out group" has become dozens if we are talking about Trump.

    He wants nothing more than to divide the country. He is what the forefathers warned us of. He wants us to be devided as we stand, so we will be divided as we fall.

    Fight fight fight against the dying of the light. Rage against the weak, and unite against those that would destroy the United States of America.

    The strong do not hide in bunkers, or in towers gilded in gold... We stand in our homes, which we do not own, yet call our own all the same.

    These places may never hold our name, but they host all that we are. They are us, and we.

    We, and us, are stronger than the wealthy "leaders" that claim our allegiance without permission. We. Are. More.

    Wow. “History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain.

    I feel like it's admirable the many lawyers and prosecutors that respect and believe in The Law, but expecting only it to defend against rising authoritarianism is a bit naive. The truth is we have to resist fascism in every form wherever it is.
