  1. #LawrenceBritt 's #CharacteristicsOfFascism number 14 - #FraudulentElections

    "Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by #SmearCampaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control #voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections."

    Supreme Court Allows Trump to Pursue Mail Voting Limits, for Now

    The administration asked the court to clear the way for President Trump’s order that creates “state citizenship lists” and directs the Postal Service to decide who gets a mail-in ballot.

  6. From #LawrenceBritt's #CharacteristicsOfFascism published in 2003 (based on #UmbertoEcco's list)

    5. Rampant #Sexism
    The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional #gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to #abortion is high, as is #homophobia and anti-#gay legislation.

    6. Controlled #MassMedia
    Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation or by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Government #censorship and #secrecy especially in war time, are very common.

  16. @Nonilex From #LawrenceBritt 's #CharacteristicsOfFascism :

    11. Disdain for #Intellectuals and the #Arts
    Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to #HigherEducation and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other #academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

  26. Some background about #LawrenceBritt 's #CharacteristicsOfFascism, which was sold (but not displayed) at the Holocaust Museum. The article does NOT mention that Britt's list was obviously based on #UmbertoEco's version. Oh well...

    Fact check: 'Early Warning Signs Of Fascism' sign was once sold at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum

    Sarah Lynch, July 2020

    "While a poster with the “Early Warning Signs Of Fascism” was indeed previously sold in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Shop, it did not originate from the museum and was not part of any exhibition or display. Britt wrote the words in a 2003 article in Free Inquiry, which Syracuse Cultural Workers reprinted and sold with his permission."

    The original poster is still being sold here:

    Trump targets 'anti-American ideology' at Smithsonian museums

    by Max Matza, 3/27/2025

    "US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution, which operates more than 20 museums and research centres visited by millions yearly in Washington DC and New York City.

    "The order directs the vice-president to 'eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology' from the institute's museums, centres and the National Zoo in Washington.

    "It also directs the interior secretary to restore federal properties, including parks, memorials and statues, which 'have been improperly removed or changed in the last five years to perpetuate a false revision of history'.

    "The move is part of Trump's effort to shape American culture, in addition to politics."
