Dan Sinker: 'Fascism Always Fails'

Dan Sinker writes about how one man standing up to hate changed a town's direction: "George Dale hated the Ku Klux Klan. Now hating the Klan in Muncie, Indiana was not a safe thing thing to do. The Klan ruled Muncie and Delaware County the way it ruled most places in Indiana. The entire police department and the fire department were all Klan. The county judges? Klan. The whole town, essentially, was run by the Klan."

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202 ...

I want fascism to fail this time with less than fifty-five million dead.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power."

Italian philosopher Giovanni Gentile. Benito Mussolini claimed credit for the definition.

Zed is not wrong. He's Presient.

Trumpism will eventually Fail.

The Death count before that happens will probably be unacceptably high.

Trump kills everything he touches. Ivanna comes to mind.

Oh,and the million Americans killed by that Fool's Covid Policies.

---- Trump. He's Scum.

You should really love Trump. You two really love some Putin's swagger. Just sayin

In Putin's case it's not Swagger.

Putin will eat Trump for lunch. That Fool won't even know he's been Had.

Trump is a Beta at heart. He worships dictators because he's Weak.

If Trump was Strong Putin would be giving Concessions.

The US not being Agreeable Capable and Putin knowing this makes the whole thing a little Kabuki Play of Nonsense.

Trump Sucks.

Worst President Ever.

If he helps End the War....?

He Sill Sucks.
