       #RosanSmits This is fascism🙸Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that. 🙸It’s perfectly clear: the US president, Donald Trump, is putting together a fascist regime. And fast. Not only Trump’s political adversaries say so, his own former advisers do, too. But what’s more, internationally renowned scholars—the indisputable experts when it comes to fascism—are now sounding the alarm.🙸... it’s precisely that resistance to using the word fascism that’s typical of how fascism works. Fascism thrives by playing down what was previously seen as extremist. And once that happens, any warnings get dismissed as overly alarmist.🙸Trump takes it to the next level: anyone who accuses him of being fascist gets called fascist right back. It’s a tried and true tactic to sap language of meaning: If everyone calls their adversaries “fascist,” the word loses its power to warn people about actual fascism. 🙸...we should look at what function fascism serves for politicians within a democracy . 🙸That function is strategic. Fascism is a way to take political grievance, shared by members of a dominant group in society, and mobilize it against some supposed “enemy,” often aided by a degree of societal breakdown during a time of crisis. It’s similar in that sense to right-wing populism, sometimes called fascism light .🙸But where populist leaders stretch the ground rules of democracy, fascists take things further. They change the rules, seize absolute power, and destroy those seen as foes, using violence if need be.🙸Fueling this strategy is emotion, not some coherent set of ideological convictions....https://decorrespondent.nl/16177/this-is-fascism/0d604cd4-7b7f-0f8b-3d68-9540540803d3
