rcmmacgregor:This is why it is so important that we not remain silent. Trump supporters and Republicans, in general, complain that those of us who criticize the decisions this administration is making are just ‘sore losers’, but that is not the case. We are speaking up against injustice, immorality, and inhumanity and if we remain silent, if we do not take advantage of the freedom we still have to speak out against such wrongs, we will lose that freedom and many other freedoms as well. “Accepting untruth of this radical kind requires a blatant abandonment of reason. Klemperer’s descriptions of losing friends in Germany in 1933 over the issue of magical thinking ring eerily true today. One of his former students implored him to “abandon yourself to your feelings, and you must always focus on the Führer’s greatness, rather than on the discomfort you are feeling at present.” Twelve years later, after all the atrocities, and at the end of a war that Germany had clearly lost, an amputated soldier told Klemperer that Hitler “has never lied yet. I believe in Hitler.”On Tyranny, Timothy Snyder, p. 68. -- source link
