BASH: Would you be comfortable w/Trump 'taking over' elections nationally?

REP GONZALES: POTUS is bringing up a fact on many Americans' minds - election integrity

B: Isn't the issue that he's not telling the truth?

Just reading through the Epstein emails and thinking about the notion that "MeToo went too far." How about we put all the world's men on a remote island and have them justify re-entry into decent society one by one, judged by a jury of women? That would be far enough.

Thread on the limits of public disapproval.
Fascism is a totalizing politics, but it is not a majoritarian politics. Ultimately, once power is obtained, and it is often obtained with minority or plurality support, the goal is to spread and entrench that power.

Public opinion only matters insofar as they are able to establish control.
