In 50 years this quote will be in textbooks and students will wonder how people nowadays could not see the signs

If you’re a leftist in the US and you want to really scare the shit out of conservatives, get a gun and learn how to use it.
If they ever manage to take away our voting rights, they’re not gonna give them back just cause we asked nicely.

Also, learn how to fly drones if you can, if (when?) things go shit-fan-hitting globally, that seems like a really useful skill to have in your group, considering how the face of warfare looks at the moment.
With a quick reminder: If you in any way can, don’t do this solo, connect with others, don’t get arrogant about it, either. The fascist preppers have a huge weakness in their narcissistic individualist “I am better than the sheep” prepping style. Being able to actually support and organise a community in the potentially coming chaos is important.

It makes me so mad when people pretend that we shouldn’t take this seriously. Aaaand even if he hadn’t already promised to become a fascist dictator, taking the shit he says seriously in that scenario would still be better than not taking it seriously in the scenerio where he has already promised to become a fascist dictator, which is the scenario we are living.

Or just the numerous attempts against Hitler, including one the year before he took power.

I watched the video itself. He barely mentioned it and it pretty obviously was one of his on-the-spot incoherent ramblings that he was just trying to form into a somewhat coherent thought. But the media and memes have been milking it for 3 days straight. That was a 1-day milk, 2-day at most. I’m sure he has done something moronic more recently, let’s move on.

Casual complacency when faced with actual dictator rhetoric? Bold strategy.

Yeah man, a presidential candidate with a real chance of winning is telling his base that he’ll get rid of elections as president, and this is something that his biggest wealthiest supporters actually want him to do. Multibillion dollar right-wing think tanks that work directly with him are openly discussing how the “Democratic experiment” has failed, and that Washington should be “burned to save America”.
He checks off just about every other box on the fascism checklist too, including genocide…
But I would hate to overreact, so I’ll just pretend it didn’t happen.

Aaaaaand that’s how you end up with an authoritarion fascist regime.

You end up with an authoritarian regime by saying things everybody already knows? I’ll be careful not to tell people that water is wet.

I mean it’s the NYTimes. I don’t necessarily like their editorial biases, but I trust them on statements of fact like definitively saying Trump said x, because I trust them to not want to be sued for libel.
