This painting stopped me in my tracks at an airport eight years ago. Two details of our exit polls had me thinking about it a lot this week. I’ll explain today at 8aEST on First Of All on CNN.

The DEM’s loss by even bigger margins in 1972 and 1980. Nixon and Reagan violated laws and engaged in hate politics too. #historymatters

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important.

We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

Hey Trump voters.

Hate to break it to you - but here’s what actually happened on Tuesday.

Watch. Bernie explained it 20 years ago.

@gastropoda It’s an American tradition. #HistoryMatters

New: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Orlando's top prosecutor just over a year ago. Tonight, she was reelected back into her seat as State's Attorney. https://t.co/WiFTRApETq

Still, 1/2 of American voters agree with you

[Kriste Lindenmeyer @lindenme]

At least 1/2 of American voters agree.

@traecrowder 1/2 of American voters agree, but it wasn’t enough.

Look down allot for some wins. Also books in Maryland, for example

@IngaSaffron In many ways they did at the Confederate ideology and system of government. least Read Heather Cox Richardson, How the South Won the Civil War. #historymatters #hcr

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.

As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.

It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.

Just watch this clip. It’s 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. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.

When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. 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.

As Heather Cox Richardson and others have suggested, we are witnessing the birth of a new Republican Party, similar to the bipartisan coalition in 1854-1856 that became the Republican Party and Abraham Lincoln’s election to the presidency in 1860. #HistoryMatters #HRC

“I am supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, not in spite of being a conservative Republican, but because I am a conservative Republican"

Listen!

Kamala Harris after she is interrupted by a demonstrator: "Ours is about a fight for democracy and your right to be heard. That is what is on the line in this election. Look, everybody has a right to be heard, but right now I am speaking."

[Kriste Lindenmeyer @lindenme]

Come on sisters. We can do this. Your vote matters!

@ananavarro @KamalaHarris CLOSING ARGUMENT?
Is she not going to campaign anymore?
Because it’s going soooo well!

[Kriste Lindenmeyer @lindenme]

This is the America we all deserve.

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

I joined 75,000 Americans -all creeds, colors, ages, Party affiliation- at The Ellipse last night, to listen to @KamalaHarris make her closing argument in the same spot Trump spoke on Jan 6th, inciting violence. It was joyful. The contrast is stark. The choice is clear. Vote! 🇺🇸

[Kriste Lindenmeyer @lindenme]

Thank you Larry Krasner!

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

This is Larry Krasner, the Philadelphia District Attorney suing Elon Musk over attempting to buy Trump votes with $1 million giveaways.

RETWEET to thank Krasner for standing up for democracy!
