"Quite a few Americans like the idea of strongman rule. Why not a dictator who will get things done? ...

Strongman rule is a fantasy. Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. He won't. …

Unaccountable to the law and to voters, the dictator has no reason to consider anything beyond his own personal interests."

~ Timothy Snyder

"Many potential Trump voters are probably unaware of what’s in store and imagine that Trump would just snap his fingers and 'fix' what he insists is a terrible economy. The reality, however, is that America’s economic performance under the Biden-Harris administration has been very good, especially compared with that of other countries."

"In the twenty-first century, those are simple: dying in bed as a billionaire. To enrich himself and to stay out of prison, the strongman dismantles the justice system and replaces civil servants with loyalists."

"As the fantasy of strongman rule fades into everyday dictatorship, people realize that they need things like water or schools or Social Security checks. Insofar as such goods are available under a dictatorship, they come with a moral as well as a financial price. When you go to a government office, you will be expected to declare your personal loyalty to the strongman."

"The U.S. government has far too often undermined democracies abroad, leading to dictatorships or military regimes, from Iran to Guatemala to Congo to Chile."

"Now, with a right-wing Supreme Court doing Trump’s bidding and the potential for a compliant, MAGA-controlled Congress, only a galvanized, engaged electorate, supported by resilient, pro-democracy grassroots movements, can prevent autocracy from coming home to roost."

"He doesn’t just hate Puerto Ricans. He hates all of us. If you don’t flatter Trump and end up needing anything from him, he will throw paper towels at you, then turn on you like a rabid dog. Puerto Ricans, and all Americans, deserve better."

"Free of the guardrails that kept him in place the first time, affirmed by the Supreme Court and backed by allies and apparatchiks in the conservative movement, Trump will merge the office of the presidency with himself. He will shake it from its moorings in the Constitution and rebuild it as an instrument of his will, wielded for his friends and against his enemies."

"Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, one of Trump’s most gleeful supporters, someone with troubling links to both China and Russia, has set up a one-stop shop: Joining false claims about the election with networks of fascists who’ll take to the streets."

"In doing so, he will erode the democratic assumptions that undergird our current constitutional order. And he will have the total loyalty of a Republican Party that itself is twisting and abusing the counter-majoritarian features of the American system to undermine and unravel democracy in the states it controls."

"We’ve come full circle after nine years. We started with being able to get away with shooting somebody on Fifth Avenue to calling for the execution of an opposing politician.

I don’t know how many people this latest monstrosity [i.e., Trump's bloody fantasy of having Liz Cheney executed] will move."

Timothy Snyder creates a helpful lineup of statements Trump made at his fascist hatefest at Madison Square Gardens and statements made in the same venue at the Nazi rally of the American German Bund in 1939.

He concludes,

"If you like, see if you can tell which is which.

Once you have sorted it out, see if that makes anything better.

Donald Trump is working within a tradition, and he knows it."

"This country is big enough to accommodate two responsible political parties. It has for many years. It is not big enough to hold a sane party and the Trump party. If they win, it will be years before we have a fighting chance to restore comity and sanity. If they win, our civil liberties are in danger, as are future elections. If they win, we will no longer be able to speak out as we do here without real fear of retribution."
