The naivety that still people have about authoritarian followers baffles me…

There is no point at which his base will turn on him.

There is no action he could perform, no line he could cross, no hardship he could impose that they won’t accept gladly so long as he promises them that “the enemy” suffers more.

There is no turning back from this point of the fascist take over, I’m not a historian, but I’ve been reading books on how countries fall and there isn’t a single one I can think of (please i’m begging you name one, no snark I honestly don’t want to be right) that have turned back from this precipice, what comes after is blood, famine and war… Maybe we get some sort of stability after, but that’s a crap shoot…
