"it was just that the authoritarianism extended to specific groups. Indigenous people, Black people, and women, those who didn’t own land.

By refusing to resolve these issues, the right has created an opening by which to expand the scope of their oppression."

Authoritarianism, fascism, and all forms of right wing politics, “moderate” or not, are defined by the never-ending desire for power. And for someone in power with this mindset, there is no amount of power that is enough. ...

"In order to gain control of a nation accustomed to democratic rule and the gradual progress of its culture and human institutions, you have to destroy any sense of their shared interests and common ground across all demographic and cultural groups—the meat of our real history, with its warts and missteps and atrocities in open view."

"Eliminationism describes an ideology and politics founded on a pathological hatred and fear of entire blocs of other people, deploying rhetoric that demonizes and dehumanizes its targets, conceptualizing them as filth and vermin, actual threats to public safety and well-being, and objects fit only for elimination and eradication—the virtual embodiment of evil itself."

Permission for what hides in the darkest corners of the American psyche to emerge. Americans must be prepared to blunt the violence when it inevitably arrives."

"But the MAGA army’s eliminationism was not focused solely on Jewish targets. Beginning in early 2022, they increasingly began targeting the LGBTQ community, and transgender people in particular. Their primary rhetorical means of demonizing them was to suggest that they sexually abuse children, labeling them all pedophilic 'groomers.'”
