One alarming possibility about the USA potentially becoming an autocracy: extremist acts—many driven by fascist ideologies—could gain significant influence in other nations. Just as the US shapes global societies culturally, scientifically, politically, militarily, and artistically, its descent into authoritarianism might amplify similar movements worldwide, which is a trend since a long time and the far right movement is one of the biggest menaces to the democratic world.

When Hitler rose to power, fascism and tyranny was sparking across Europe. His regime was the most notorious fascist government in history. As nazi Germany became a dominant force that precipitated World War II, how did its relative success embolden fascist movements in other countries? References welcome.

Fine. But here's my question: Why aren't Americans pushing #farright #Alito and #ClarenceThomas out? They are older than she is, and are riddled with scandals. Get them out.

"The museum has removed references to Martin Luther King Jr., Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control, because presenting American history honestly would make Republicans upset. "

Do not yield in advance. This is a bow to the far-right as much as the block on the endorsement of Harris in the Washington Post.

It’s Going to Take a Constant Fight to Preserve the Historical Record

The National Archives museum is backsliding into a sanitized mythological retelling of American history. Don’t assume the truth will prevail.
