"Right-wing strategist Steve Bannon, who once pledged to make the world 'as exciting as the 1930s,' promotes the ideas of the Italian Traditionalist Julius Evola, who wrote: 'We would like a more radical, more intrepid Fascism, a really absolute Fascism, made of pure force, inaccessible to compromise.”'

"Trump is running a fascist campaign, the most un-American in U.S. history. Below, I offer eight unofficial rules of American democracy that Trump has broken—rules it would have been unthinkable for an American politician to break before Trump arrived on the scene. If he wins despite doing all that, the system itself will break."
~ Nicholas Grossman
"At stake is nothing less that democracy itself.
Whether we will preserve the peaceful transfer of power or devolve into a white Christian nationalist oligarchy. Whether we will have rule by the people or rule over the people."

"In an interview with Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times published tonight, [General John] Kelly noted that he had decided not to speak out about Trump unless Trump said something deeply troubling or something that involved Kelly and was wildly inaccurate. For Kelly, Trump’s recent talk about the 'enemy within' was dangerous enough that he felt obliged to make a public comment."
~ Heather Cox Richardson
"The retired U.S. Marine Corps general confirmed that Trump is 'certainly the only president that has all but rejected what America is all about, and what makes America America, in terms of our Constitution, in terms of our values, the way we look at everything, to include family and government—he’s certainly the only president that I know of, certainly in my lifetime, that was like that.'”
"Kelly added that 'in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law.'”
"Kelly’s comments, two weeks from Election Day, are the latest in a line of warnings from former Trump White House aides about how he views the presidency and would exercise power if returned to office.
In addition to the fascist comments, Kelly — who was Trump’s chief of staff from 2017 to 2019 — told The New York Times that the former president 'certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.'”

"He also confirmed to The Atlantic that Trump had said he wished his military personnel showed him the same deference Adolf Hitler’s Nazi generals showed the German dictator during World War II, and recounted the moment."
"If Harris wins, it’s because just enough voters accept the rule of law and reality itself. That’s probably why we remain so nervous about the outcome. The election won’t merely determine the next president. It’ll define who we are as a nation."

"The mystery that will provide full employment for generations of historians is why so many Americans willingly embraced the con and spread the hate that fuels Trump's campaign."

"He has now gone all-out demagogue and promised his supporters that he would have no qualms about ordering our military to execute his opponents. Which has left men like John Kelly with few options but to be honest about who Trump is."

@wdlindsy He has also threatened campaign donors and voters who he thinks are "unAmerican" and "vermin" and, if I recall correctly, "liberal leftists" and "marxists" and so he thinks we don't have a right to vote in the elections, even though we were born in the USA. What MAGA doesn't seem to care about is that people have a right to disagree with them and to vote in favor of someone other than their dear felon leader, Con-Don.
I'm grateful that our ballots are secret. A lot of GOP women haven't been voting because their husbands told them not to, but they're starting to find ways around that. I applaud them for doing so. Regardless of who they vote for, their voices are being heard, many for the first time. I have a suspicion they are voting for Kamala and other Democrats, because the GOP is against women entirely.
Black people are also turning out in record numbers, despite all the GOP tricks to suppress the vote! Kinda think they're voting in their best interests too. 
@wdlindsy@toad.social@JustRosy Thank you for this good summary of reasons to maintain hope. When I recently posted on my Facebook page a quote (in graphic form) by Jess Piper reminding white women that their ballots are secret and their husbands have no right to instruct them how to vote, Facebook immediately took that posting down.
