How #Fascism Works
"Empires in decline are particularly susceptible to fascist politics because of this sense of loss. It is in the very nature of empire to create a hierarchy; #empires legitimize their colonial enterprises by a myth of their own #exceptionalism. In the course of decline, the population is easily led to a sense of national #humiliation that can be mobilized in fascist politics to serve various purposes."

Dear Tom, people are harassing ICE and CBP, because ICE and CBP are terrorizing and murdering people.

In 1933, Mussolini closed the national opera to “renovate” it. In 1934, Hitler closed the national opera house to “renovate” it. In 1935, Portuguese dictator Salazar closed the national opera house to “renovate” it. What a weird series of coincidences!

Though it does cite this doc. Which I've been avoiding (re)posting because I haven't actually found the original. Anyone know if it was removed (or is it fabricated)?
This thread is fun, former VP Pence's then-chief of staff didn't seem to think Trump would make it through 2019 (assuming same Nick). Then we have an email declaring "the Belgium govt fell 5 hours after my speech" and another with a celebratory tone stating "the right has the working class behind them on immigration".
