Thanks for sharing the Brooks Harrington discussion. Very interesting. Today Zeteo was saying that the Tech Bros, and their products has taken over our democracy.
Ruth - Has Giorgia Meloni’s rise to power moved Italy closer to authoritarianism? If not, why not? At some point could you speak about Italy, both as the country that basically invented modern authoritarianism and as a country that seems to have survived the corruption of Berlusconi.
It took Hitler 53 days to transform Germany from a democracy into a dictatorship. We'll now see how long it takes Trump here. Pardoning his paramilitary thugs could be seen as "looking ahead." They're armed, dangerous and surely willing to keep their fascist strongman in power beyond January 2029.
I just tried to restack this and got an error message.🙄
Worked for me, Chas.

Thank you for the excellent interview with Jennifer Rubin at The Contrarian.
Purges. Privatizations. Pardons. Rinse and repeat. Erghh
Ruth, your prediction that trump would pardon as many J6 insurrectionists as possible if he got the chance has turned out to be 100% correct.

Today Ruth apparently was asked by the UK’s online platform The Independent what she thought of the veracity and meaning of Elon Musk
”sieg heil”salute I.e. enthusiastic arm waving or the real thing
( paraphrasing)?
Her response was, “Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.”
