   No, #bothsidesism, is the way to normalize #fascist, and maybe even ideas of #totalitarianism 4 mainstream thinking.
   In 1949-1966, the great #GermanAmerican #historian #HannahArendt wrote in her book, The Origins of Totalitarianism:

   “In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the #masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.”
