Trump showed a propaganda video at a rally similar to the early days of the Nazis

Movie at the Ellipse: A Study in Fascist Propaganda Scholars on the Nazis and anti-Semitism have seen this before

Thx. I watched. Fascinating. And horrifying.
Marcy at emptywheel.net. also shared.

Also, stay home. Alone, everyone, and watch the Super Bowl. You can call and or zoom your friends.  Or, not. And more will get sick, and maybe die. 
Its no big sacrifice.

Agreed. Excellent analysis. Straight from the fascist handbook. I have asked this before of Joe and had no reply but I will ask again. How much of the disintegration of the Republican Party today originated with Nixon? His cynical adoption of the Southern Strategy and then loss of people’s confidence in government following revelations of Watergate, pentagon papers, Vietnam withdrawal and eventually Rockefeller, Pike, Church and Schwieker Commities.

Did this not eventually lay the groundwork for exploitation by Trump to capture the Republicans with his simplistic rhetoric? Look out for the "enemy" and don’t trust "the swamp".

House managers rebut Trump team's calls to dismiss impeachment case, say evidence is 'overwhelming'

Trump "has no valid excuse or defense for his actions," the House managers wrote. "And his efforts to escape accountability are entirely unavailing."

That's an old establishment political trick.  Make promises, win the election, then explain why you are unable to fulfill your promises by suggesting things are worse than you knew.  HA HA HA.  Old Joe pulled another fast one.  He has no plan to deal with the pandemic.  The vaccine is rolling out faster than Old Joe thought possible and there is nothing left for him to do except wait until enough people get the Trump vaccine to stem the tide of cases.  China Joe is just a spectator.

Vaxxed-up ppl can still get Covid & variants and 'share' with others. No vaccine is 100% safe and Trump's rednecks will never accept the needle.

In fact, fully 25% of Americans say they probably won't get vaxxed.
