That's pretty much what's happened to our country, and this time around, I don't know if we can nip it in the bud or not. ;.;

I'm curious what point Jason Stanley was trying to make in the original Twitter post, because he writes quite eloquently about the dangers of fascism and of the insidious way it can be normalized.

Well, of course, SocStudies teaches how society works, and often is the closest to Civics people in some states get. Don't want people to know that's not how the Constitution works, when you are using it as TP.

I don't expect many people to sit through the entire 3 hour video, but it is a marvelous deconstruction of the dishonest tactics used by him and other alt-righters. The first 7 minutes alone are worth it.
