    We've been in denial - about far-right extremism, the GOP, and Trump - and now we're at a crossroads. History shows clearly what happens when you appease those who try and take down democracy. I don't want that for my country.pic.twitter.com/m2gamEkFDD

        Thank you for your service. You should be on every major news station telling the country this. Until then I will continue to retweet you and tell everyone I know about you.

        Thank you Ruth for your mini lectures. This has never been a topic I was interested in until now, but current events have changed that for me. And your messages are just right for nonacademics like myself trying to get up to speed.

        I fear we are well down this road and not enough in power with the guts to turn back.
