As a historian and teacher, and as a Jew, I don’t throw around accusations of Nazi and Fascist lightly, but Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy proposals have crossed the line.

Another escalation against the proletariat, although I think that Biden's administration is sanctifying a lot of what Trump did in his previous term, which only gives more ideological unity to increasingly fascistic policies.

    Yea libs love to act like we're 10% of the way there and gonna tip over the line if Trump wins. In reality we're 85% of the way there and Trump might bump that up to 90%.

    And then it'll go to 95% the next time a dem wins and the chuds get equipped into a frothing rage that a lifelong neoliberal is doing a Marxist takeover of the country.

      Thank you, that’s exactly what I’m getting at. We can debate about the proportions, but the point is that we’re so much closer to the worst case scenario than anyone thinks, but we’re also not going to all of a sudden jump to 100% overnight. The trajectory is steady, and maybe accelerating, but it’s still going to be incremental until something breaks. It’ll be like climate change, where we’ll only really notice the damage in hindsight.
