This clip is excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8.
When I produced my fascism special in 2018, I hoped this day would never come to America. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high…and this is very real.
And please vote tomorrow like your dreams made possible by American freedoms depend on it. Because they do.
America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist.
With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.
If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.
Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
Today, I spoke out with other Harris County officials about Texas Republican leaders blocking the DOJ from monitoring our local elections. What are the Republicans afraid of?

@karlykingsley This man hates women. Says childless women are worthless, that it "disturbs and disorients" him they can teach. That they should have less voting rights, higher taxes, bc we should "punish what is bad." That is "too easy for women to leave violent marriages, hurts the kids."
BREAKING: Donald Trump’s final rally has begun and it’s half empty. The Trump campaign curtained off the top section because they couldn’t fill the arena. What an embarrassing finish to Donald Trump’s campaign.
At the Trump rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, not even the floor is full. Campaign staff is trying to herd attendees into a couple of sections to make the place look packed. Very low energy.
