Sirota interviews scholar on fascism

That scholar being Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a professor of history and Italian studies at New York University. She compares Twitler with other fascists both past and present. When asked if Twit should be removed from office given the coup attempt her answer follows. See the link for the whole interview.

"I think it’s high time to remove him. He’s demonstrated irrational, corrupt, unfit behavior for years and if nothing is done — and not only with Trump, but all the people who aided and abetted this insurgency on the 6th — then it sends a message both to Trump and his family and to all the future people who want to come in and finish what Trump has started: to wreck democracy and impose some kind of law and order rule. And so, what’s worrying is many people invested a lot in this counter-revolutionary project Trump has — to crack down on the left and people of color. If you don’t send a message then it shows people that you’re weak and you don’t really care and then it’s going to encourage more people to be lawless."
