The problem is not just that the #BrokenTimes accepts the strongman framing of totalitarianism, it is that it validates and promotes the masculinist worldview of this cadre of sexual assaulters and abusers and misogynists who are robbing women of their liberty.

Thanks for saying this. It’s one of the most disgusting aspects of what’s occurring, and I wish the point could be highlighted more.

I can hear the meet-them-where-they-are appeasers: But women voted for him, not to mention some actual Black & Latino people. I say again: Read Hannah Arendt. Authoritarians get people to abandon their own sense and interests for the "movement." From my Gutenberg Parenthesis: 3/
Loneliness is the root of the mass and the cause of totalitarianism, theorized the scholar of the public and the private, Hannah Arendt: “Totalitarian government, like all tyrannies, certainly could not exist without destroying the public realm of life, that is, without destroying, by isolating men, their political capacities. But totalitarian domination as a form of government is new in that it is not content with this isolation but destroys private life as well. It bases itself on loneliness, on the experience of not belonging to the world at all, which is among the most radical and desperate experiences of man.”20 For Arendt, to be public is to be whole, to be private is to be deprived; to be without both is to be uprooted, vulnerable, and alone. Arendtfound in Nazi and Soviet history“such unexpected and unpredicted phenomena asthe radical loss ofself-interest,the cynical or bored indifference in the face of death or other personal catastrophes, the passionate inclination
toward the most abstract notions as guides for life, and the general contempt for even the most obvious rules of common sense.” The lessons for these populist times are undeniable as Trump’s base shows a loss of self-interest (what did he accomplish for them over the rich?), an indifference to death (defiantly burning masks at COVID superspreader rallies), a passionate inclination toward abstract notions (are abortion and guns truly more important to their everyday lives than jobs and health?), and contempt for common sense (see: science denial and conspiracy theories). Arendt was careful to observe that it wasn’t just the “masses” who followed Hitler and Stalin but also elites—as with present-day senators, judges, and business titans—who “did not object at all to paying a price, the destruction of civilization, for the fun of seeing how those who had been excluded unjustly in the past forced their way into it.”21 Both sectors of society did not so much belong to a movement as they had nothing else to belong to, so they could devote all their loyalties to the leader. I should note that Arendt distinguished loneliness from isolation, for as she pointed out, reading requires isolation and “all thinking, strictly speaking, is done in solitude.”22 As Arendt scholar Samantha Rose Hill explained, “This is one of the paradoxes of loneliness. Solitude requires being alone whereas loneliness is felt most sharply in the company of others.”

Arendt is not wrong, of course, but I do have the sense that the _main_ driver isn't isolation. It's the hope that by robbing Them, he'll make Us richer. They think Trump is going to mean money in their pockets.

I'm not sure why. Past performance says all the money goes into his pocket, nobody else's (except billionaires, so long as they line his pocket).

Their support of the ghoul is one of those triumphs of hope over reason.

Aral, I fully intend to block you after a short period of time, but please allow me to explain why. Many many people who could afford to buy a Tesla years ago did so for the reason they wanted to move away from ICE cars and do some small positive thing for the Earth. At that time, E.M. showed no signs of being right wing extremist or a Nazi. I would not buy a Tesla today, and will dispose of mine in due time. You might want to consider who the people are you want to hurt.

Goodbye.

It's funny. I don't have a car, but if I did it could well have been a Tesla. Even then, why would I need to stop following Aral or even block him? I would just maybe not mention that I drive a Tesla and go about my day.
I guess I just don't understand car ownership.
