      For the record. Hitler deliberately provoked brawls with protesters as it helped him. Classic authoritarian tactic. https://twitter.com/emmettrensin/status/738597725445357569 …

      Provoking & welcoming violence in political events is like a dictionary definition of authoritarian classic tactic.pic.twitter.com/bFDHmEtelw

      Anybody arguing "Hitler came to power because people didn't riot/protest him at his events" has no idea of history. Is absolutely ignorant.

      Hitler events during his rise to power were MARKED by brawls & fights between attendees & protesters. It was their singular characteristic.

      This was no coincidence. Hitler & his ilk did everything they could to ensure people who'd fight them would find out & attend their rallies.

      There can be nuanced discussion on protesting a rising authoritarian demagogue. "They didn't brawl with Hitler during his rise" is not one.

      @cveidson I feel like part of it is the terror of genuine fear that Trump will win and we basically can't stop it

      Although I'd argue politics as defined by Trump is ALREADY violent, & attempts to feign normalcy are counterproductive?

      I'm not for feigning normalcy. Random, outnumbered woman pushed, egged. It's wrong, period. Helps Trump, also wrong.

      I didn't mean to suggest you were. I'm just troubled by the equivalent some are drawing btwn racist violence & reaction.

      I'm not trying to draw any equivalences but I've seen this playbook in my lifetime and historically. It alarms me.

          Again, I didn't mean to single you out. I understand both sides of the concern. The fear & the frustration

          Like. I think we may srsly need to consider that the "democracy" we have may give us Trump. It gave us Bush. So then what?
