"Here is a difficult truth: A part of the American political spectrum is not merely a passive recipient of the combined authoritarian narratives that come from Russia, China, and their ilk, but an active participant in creating and spreading them."
"Like the leaders of those countries, the American MAGA right also wants Americans to believe that their democracy is degenerate, their elections illegitimate, their civilization dying. The MAGA movement’s leaders also have an interest in pumping nihilism and cynicism into the brains of their fellow citizens, and in convincing them that nothing they see is true."
@wdlindsy I'm listening to this audiobook on youtube: a breakdown of Nazi Germany's 1920, 25 Point Program that became the mandate of the Third Reich.
It was a mixture of #fascism, #antiSemitism, and the "German Workers' Party" #socialism. The combination, with the fatal authoritarian doctrine, gave #Hitler unchecked power.
It parallels the GOP-2.0 under Trump following Hitler's playbook. See #Project2025: #Trump with those powers. #MAGA
