@14:35. Not to knock Jon, but "it has been done within the confines of our legal system, therefore it's not fascist" is a terrible and ahistorical argument. Famously, the Nazis operated mostly within the confines of the German constitution, even as they issued decree after decree to target political enemies and minorities, and twisted the law to serve those ends. It was a core source for their popular legitimacy with the less radical elements of Germany. It was all "legal." The camps were "legal." The Holocaust was "legal. So the conflation with "legal" with "non-fascist" is misleading and dangerous. Right now, trump is planning to build camps to deport millions of families without due process. That is fascist. Classically fascist. And I'm tired of entertaining the idea that it's not just because its "legal."
Glad to read i am not the only one who doesn't see it the way Jon does tonight. Fascism doesn't come in with a bang it slithers in and erodes the institutions from within.
The firing of the inspectors is more serious than that. Less inspectors general means less eyes seeing the corruption going on, so trumps billionaires can more easily take control. The IG’s are not leaving, though. They responded with a letter citing that 30-day law and need for justification of dismissal. I hope they succeed.
Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal. Legality is not morality.
The issue with downplaying obvious violations of law, is that when it goes bad, it's too late.
I think it's foolish to dismiss the I.G. firing backlash. The point is to push back against the President's disregard for the rule of law. Silence is like tacit permission to try something worse.
This entire segment was an appeal to legality. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's not fascist
I’m gonna quit smoking once I have lung cancer I don’t want to overreact and be negative:/
It’s crazy that this episode came out only two weeks ago, and the argument has grown exponentially
Jon - he just arrested my senator. Is it OK to call him a fascist now??
