Discusses how Trump or someone like him could potentially turn America into a fascist state in five steps.
The first step involves using threats of violence to gain power, as seen with Trump’s attempts to intimidate voters and election officials in 2020.
The second step is to consolidate power by turning every arm of government into a tool of the party, similar to Hitler’s actions in purging non-Nazis from the civil service.
The third step is to establish a police state, with Trump planning to deploy troops for immigration raids and crackdowns on crime.
The fourth step is to jail the opposition, with Trump openly threatening to prosecute his opponents and remake the Justice Department for personal vendettas.
The final step is to undermine the free press, as a fascist regime needs to control the flow of information, which Trump has been attacking and threatening to punish news outlets.
The video emphasizes the importance of recognizing the threat of fascism and taking action to prevent it from taking hold.
One thing that I’ve realized: Fascism is not strictly top down. It’s also bottom up. It’s the people on every rung (police, courts, whatever) that act on his behalf without being directly ordered.
Yeah it’s a weird concept called voluntary servitude, Étienne de La Boétie que about that in 1577.
Somehow people seem fond of the idea of a big leader.
I saw a lemmygrad post in which a college student was wondering if he should report a Chinese Co Ed that has said some things about xi to the Chinese government. It’s wonderful
I was planning on it, you beat me there. But I wanted to make sure that people know that the summary was AI generated and they could use that same tool

so basically
I too, dropped it into summarize.tech to glean what it was saying haha
Edit: for reference, a really excellent tool to figure out the content of a video is without watching is summarize.tech
This is the AI summary
