Many donāt realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps werenāt everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them āvery long sentences,ā I canāt help but take him seriously⦠because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their āDay Oneā period to consolidate their power. (After all, if youāre hellbent on staying in power but arenāt likely to win the next election, you canāt have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
