"Authoritarians want us to think that their success is preordained by divine or secular forces and so there is no point in resisting. Submit to their glory is the message. … Never internalize the strongman’s self-serving fatalism that tells you voting doesn’t matter because the powerful will always prevail."
~ Ruth Ben-Ghiat
