"That can't happen here!" is what leads to exactly that happening here.
"Well, first of all, I’m troubled by how thoughtlessly people throw around that term. At this point, anybody who disagrees with us is a fascist." - Madeleine K. Albright
I think she is referring to you.
Maybe you should have read the entire quote?
"Well, first of all, I’m troubled by how thoughtlessly people throw around that term. At this point, anybody who disagrees with us is a fascist.
In the book, I try to argue that fascism is not an ideology; it’s a process for taking and holding power. A fascist is somebody who identifies with one group — usually an aggrieved majority — in opposition to a smaller group. It’s about majority rule without any minority rights. Which is why fascists tend to single out the smaller group as being responsible for or the cause of their grievances."That came from an interview where she was discussing her book warning about America's right wing turning to facisim.
How about another quote where she is asked why she didn't call Trump a facist.
"You’re right, I don’t call him a fascist. He’s certainly anti-democratic, and I say so in the book, but I don’t call him a fascist because he isn’t violent. If he ends up declaring an emergency at the border over immigration, then I might change my position. There’s a long history of fascists using “emergencies” to create fear and conflict, so that’s a potential red line. If Trump does that, then he really is a bully with an army."If she were alive today, I think she would have pretty harsh words about DeSantis, and those that support and enable him.
"But are we witnessing an anti-democratic spiral? I think so. Some people have said my book is alarmist, and my response is always, “It’s supposed to be.” We ought to be alarmed by what’s happening. Demagogic leaders are taking advantage of all these various factors and using it to divide people further. We should absolutely be alarmed by that."I think she is referring to you.
