Be a spendthrift on cops and a miser everywhere else. Deliver for your big donors early. Court the corporate media. Smear any that won't play ball. Pick a scapegoat whose vote you've already lost or were never going to win. Attack them verbally. Attack them legislatively. Attack them physically. Brazen it out. Without shame or remorse.
Never.
Admit.
Wrong.Double and triple down. Lie and lie about your lies. Lie till you believe it. Lie till they start to believe it or get bored of chasing the truth. Accuse your opponents of what you are about to do or know you have already done thus far in secret. Sideline the judiciary. Never let a crisis go to waste. Beatify your martyrs. Declare emergency powers. Focus on force not consent. Praise police. Celebrate 'good' violence as the only defence against the terror of the scapegoat's violence. If the scapegoat isn't violent, keep provoking till they are. Or simply accuse them of being so repeatedly. Align yourself with a fascistic, genocidal regime and do so without equivocation or hesitation. Claim the moral high ground as you do so. Demonise protest. Exploit the free publicity of scandal. Ride your opponent's outrage.
Never.
Look.

MEME MAKERS AND WRITERS
Make slides that educate voters about what fascism is and tag them with #Fascism101.
Most voters have only the sketchiest notions of a word they keep hearing about. We need to teach some basic political history, while we still can.

Fascism101: It Always Gets Cooperation From The Press.

@JamesGleick It’s amazing how little people know about what democracy stands on.
It has been a ”masks off” moment in more ways than one.
Not just from the wannabe dictators, but from the crowd as well.
They never wanted to live in a democracy, actually, now that you look closely. They want a different kind of society, which they will still call ”freedom”.
Even if it won’t be, but they will still trust the leader and blame the scapegoat class on it not being free.

@dangillmor I think many of us have come to realise the incredibly important part that good, robust, honest journalism plays in maintaining some semblance of a democracy. I admit I didn't appreciate it until now. I am so worried about where we are now and where we are going. #Fascism101

#Republicans continue to engage in stochastic terrorism, and normalize #violence as an acceptable way to achieve their political goals. #WeThePeople cannot accept this.

-DeSantis signed three new anti-trans bills into law.
-The laws limit LGBTQ+ schools' curriculum and transgender care for minors.
-They also criminalize "opposite sex" restroom access in public buildings, schools, and parks.This is NOT about 'protecting children' it is about inciting hate against a vulnerable & marginalized community to gain political power. We have seen this before and it does not end well. #Fascism101

Republicans in the Missouri House of Representatives have just voted to defund their state’s libraries.
Missouri is ranked #30 in education. Remember when Trump said "I love the poorly educated"

@DrALJONES that book really impacted me. #DemocracyInChains

"Missouri Reps Just Voted to Completely Defund the State’s Public Libraries. The new budget sets funds for libraries to $0. Library groups say the move is retaliation for suing the state over its recent book ban law."

This made me cry. Thank you for boosting. #Fascism101 #Bookbans #FearIsNotFreedom #HistoryRepeating -
Also this is information suppression by the state. Next, they'll undermine public institutions and ban protests... oh wait. #Fascism101

✔ Intimidating independent institutions
✔ Silencing dissent
✔ Using inflammatory rhetoric towards minorities
✔ Legislating to remove minorities rightsIf it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it probably is a.... Fascist

"Lügenpresse," which translates to "lying press," was a popular slogan used in the Third Reich.
"Fake news" is a popular slogan used by the far-right.
Despite being almost a century apart, both terms are used for the same purpose - discredit dissent & undermine public trust
