We are in a war for truth and have been begging FOR YEARS to take away his ability to bullhorn lies.
Trump sauced brains with a mind virus to distract from corruption and the media parroted all.
I have been reporting for years that countering lies by calling them lies is an ineffectual strategy when fighting a war for truth.
Trump, like Putin, is a professional propagandist. It’s part of the dictator arsenal.
The brain drain is intentional, and JFC why did it take four years.
How do we unhaunt our heads from the malignant whispers.
Our chance at reuniting under a shared narrative of truth must demand cutting off the disinformation spigot.
Mute, indict, and prosecute the leaders of the insurrection.
Please take a look at Berlusconi comps in tweet 2 of this thread and then read this 2016 report on Putin’s bromance with the Italian dictator and how “‘Berlusconi and his cronies [profited] personally and handsomely’ from business ties to Russia”

“History shows when extremist movements coalesce around a charismatic leader who focuses their anger..a tipping point is reached where extreme rhetoric is turned into violent action..violence tends to escalate unless..leadership [is] defeated.”@AOL⁩ aol.com/attack-capitol…
The dictator must be rendered powerless.
“Extremist movements also aggressively recruit from law enforcement and military communities to develop their hard power, a tactic perfected by the Islamic State, whose close alliance with Baathist military officers enabled it to launch a military-style juggernaut in 2014.”-@AOL

What is the first thing you would like to see Trump prosecuted and convicted for?
Clearly, justice is on folks’ minds
I would really like to see his alliance with Russia addressed, criminally.

“This week Facebook announced that it had taken down a network of government-linked accounts that it alleges engaged in ‘coordinated inauthentic behaviour’ aimed at boosting support for Yoweri Museveni, the country’s president, at the expense of his opponents.”-@TheEconomist

As America celebrates its defeat of an authoritarian in the middle of consolidating power, it is critical to stay vigilant.

In my @BylineTimes interview with historian @ruthbenghiat she cautions these so-called “strongmen” often remain in the party’s DNA.

1/ Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s latest book, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, details the precise moment in time when fascism was born.
2/ “World War One was this cataclysmic change,” she told Byline Times. “Multiple empires fell, including the Russian Empire, Hapsburg Empire, the Ottoman Empire. It created death on a scale no one had seen before. It created wounds no one had seen before because of new weapons.”
