Yes, and it is the same issue here, and we also cannot punish 30-60%. That is why I said we need to address the root cause. There will always be people who like authoritarianism. Building resilient institutions an participatory populations help this. Apathy is a death knell.

And what are Germans doing about AdF? These parties are rising for a reason, and they will keep rising unless we address the root causes, not the people themselves. If you only punish the people and the symbols they will keep cropping up.

I don’t disagree, and I think we should have done the same thing Germany did after WW2 wrt Nazi symbolism after the Civil War. But they didn’t, and we will need to decide what to do now.

4/ but without that reflection they are mostly just stuck in loss and survival mode. While it is not an excuse, it does explain why the numbers seem so big. There are many problems with our current system. But to fix them will take acknowledgement, sustained effort, and commitment.

A core of his supporters are just hateful and like thus, yes, but far more of that “half” keep seeing [fill in minority group/not them] get ahead and don’t understand why they can’t. They often lack education or opportunity or self reflection, and they are often voting against themselves.

They act like it’s half the country, but only about 31% voted for him. 30% stayed home. Punishing those who give the orders and the leaders of those who follow them usually does the job. 3/

Or Pinochet. There are other examples as well. Some of them weren’t executed, but losing the power they created and watching it collapse is a significant punishment to a person who wants power. 2/

It takes commitment and sustained effort, but history suggests they do get punishment. Have you never heard of Hitler, Franco, or Mussolini? Or their regimes?
