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.

    Exactly. They don’t even have to pretend to care. They can let people complain and march and write newsletters all they want, there’s no need to stop them because it doesn’t amount to anything. It’s like letting a toddler run around outside to get some energy out before you put them down for a nap. Why try to create some kind of draconian nightmare dystopia when you get basically the same result with a lax nightmare dystopia?

      maybe at some point someone or some people decide peaceful protesting doesn't work and start incorporating violence in their demands?

      things can't really continue as they have been forever.. people will get pissed enough sooner or later
