It's almost like we've been pointing this out for the better part of a decade.
Oh well, I'm sure a lot of Germans were pointing it out too. Didn't matter much.
Buckle up. Buy a gun.

Echoes?
He's practically bragging about being the next Hitler.
Get ready for the emergency declarations that need to take away any rights and skip elections.
There's a whole war at the border you know, can't be having elections during a war. Congress can't be risking the safety of the nation during this emergency, they need to recess until it's all over.
What emergency? Hang on, we're busy making it now.
The Republican party is now the Trump party.
They've invested too much in him. They can't back out now. He has far more power than everyone else in the Trump party combined. They're all in.
As the clock ticks down to end his 2nd term they will absolutely attempt to amend the Constitution or bypass it by declaring some state of emergency.
Remember, this an anti-democratic felon rapist and a party that has enabled him every single step of the way. They will try it.
The juxtaposition of the masthead of this publication with the title of the piece and the particular date is just chef’s kiss. It’s so brave of Harvard to state this fact on INAUGURATION DAY. Fuckers.

It is kind of brave isn't it? He's at peak power and they are choosing now to call him out. Strategically it would have been great to do this a few months ago, but I don't for a moment think it would have made a difference. Maybe if the NYT could have taken a break from covering Biden's age they could have run it and it might have.
If Trump went on Fox tonight and told every maga to kill the first Democrat they saw, a good chunk would be outside doing it right now, so I'd say publishing a piece like that on the very first day that he takes control of the levers of power is pretty fucking brave, it's just too little too late.
And so it begins. You can ask Armenians and Rwandans where this sort of language leads to.
the u.s. was born from and sustains itself on genocide. no other country knows how this goes better.
It can happen here. And it's starting to look like it actually will.
Give it some time.
Those who won't learn from history are doomed to repeat it
And those who learned from history are doomed to isolation and depression while they constantly warn morons that only look at them blankly for a moment then start calling them insane alarmists...
Well if it's any consolation the outspoken critics are usually the first to go when dissidents start being rounded up so you may not have to deal with it as long as others
I see that words still speak louder than actions when it comes to liberals.
are you trying to say that the man doesn't do what he says?
I've heard that a lot and am always dumbfounded why that would actually make someone trust him more instead of less
I won't speak for Alaska, but Trump's actions have been screaming at us that he's a rabid fascist so loud and for so long, it's kinda funny to do lit analysis on his rambling word-salads to get at the obvious
Paraphrasing an expert on the president, a frightened dog in its dotage barks louder.
Clearly wrong. A dog will be eaten. A cat too.
Thanks Harvard Political review, I hadn't noticed
Not the rhetoric!! 😭
Posting this is a war crime.
I hate that i knew exactly what this link is going to be
His language is uncharacteristic of a politician governing on behalf of all Americans irrespective of race, ethnicity, or citizenship status
How would you know in the absence of the counterfactual?
Fascism is not exactly imaginative or new. What else is new?
Elon's innocent gesticulations echoes Nazi salute.
