Philosopher and author Jason Stanley, guest @ On The Media, on our Trump-accelerated #fascism problem:

“Rhetoric always becomes a policy once it's normalized. When you describe people as vermin, you're justifying treating them as vermin. The idea of justifying a practice without engaging in that practice is well-nigh incoherent. The whole reason you're justifying those practices is so you can go and do them.”

On CNN's front page as of me posting this (05:00 EDT). There are so many problems here it's difficult to begin, but namely:

Why is the discussion of #trump being a #fascist only happening *now*? Especially with the election only days away.

Why was the mainstream media NOT talking about this? Are they afraid? Even NPR, whom I used to respect, is guilty of this.

“Several generations of American politicians have assumed that American voters, most of whom…grew up with the rule of law, and have never experienced occupation or invasion, would be resistant to this kind of language and imagery. Trump is gambling—knowingly and cynically—that we are not.” - @anneapplebaum
