‘An end of American democracy’: Trump’s historic threat

[BidenPresident]

Her preface observes that the crisis in American democracy crept up on many and draws a direct comparison with the rise of Adolf Hitler, achieved through political gains and consolidation.

“Democracies die more often through the ballot box than at gunpoint,” she writes.

“The whole point of a civil war was to make sure that battle flag never had influence in the United States Capitol,” she says, via Zoom from near Augusta, Maine. “With a loss of almost $6bn and 600,000 lives, they kept that flag out of the Capitol, and then, I’m sorry, but those fuckers brought it in. I saw that, and the gut-punch was larger than any other moment in history, for me as a historian who has lived that civil war as deeply as I have.”

Trump cultists hate the Hitler comparison - but he manipulates crowds using the same techniques and demagoguery. Scapegoating, fear-mongering, racism & xenophobia, the "us vs. them" POV.

Same textbook. And we're fools if we don't learn the lessons of history.
