Get a load of this guy, quietly suggesting that the mayoral election in his 24k-person suburb might have been stolen

It's a real shame when a sheriff can't tell a crime from the realization by voters he's a lunatic.

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. Given his background of thoughtful essays, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that what he intended was more nuanced than what showed up in his post.

Here's one of his articles:

“The constitution is hanging by a thread,” he told me. “The funny thing is, I always thought it would be the other guys. And it’s my side. That just rips at my heart: that we would be the people who would surrender the constitution in order to win an election. That just blows my mind.”
My mind is fully unblown.

They really do want a populace of stupid (and anti-gay) people.

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.
