I'm not convinced that a form of authoritarianism shaped in the interwar period is the best way to understand authoritarianism forged in very different contexts and periods.
And there's a risk that we spend more time arguing about what we call Trump than about what he's actually doing.

TRUTH: Multi-modal cities aren’t about forcing anyone out of their cars. But they ARE about tackling car DEPENDENCY by adding MORE CHOICES (for you Americans, more freedom) in how u get around, which works better for everyone, INCLUDING DRIVERS! That’s geometry, & common sense. #TheTRUTHaboutTRAFFIC

This is a full standoff between LA civilians and ICE now. The civilians are in control of the exit. ICE is mobbed up unable to leave. Civilians continue to barricade them in and all vehicle exits.

You put your far right in, your far right out, in, out, in, out and grift your arse about. You talk a load of bollox but you’re not called out.
And that’s what it’s all about.

Are you saying that 9 out of 10 people in Britain who have a heart attack die?
Because I’m pretty sure that isn’t right.
Is it perhaps ‘cardiac arrest’ rather than heart attack?

Well, you know the saying - you campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose.
In Reform’s case, the poetry is William McGonagall.
