      Trump's business model now is a lot more Kardashian than Harry Macklowe. Media should call him "reality TV star"; most accurate description.

      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.

      .@JamesCookUMA "Hubris" by Ian Kershaw is great on Hitler's rise. Old thread on how Trump feeds of confrontation.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/708299244793372672 …

      I'm NOT arguing Trump is Hitler. Nope. I'm arguing against the argument "Trump is Hitler therefore let's brawl at his rallies". ::sigh::

      I'm also saying that there are well-established, predictable and historically common trajectories to what benefits authoritarian demagogues.

      Modified Godwin's: OK to talk about Hitler or Fascism but not if you don't know what actually happened. "Zeynep's law" that'll never take.🙄🙄
