We're a constitutional republic, not an authoritarian regime regardless of how much current administration wishes otherwise.
Good guys need villains, they need them to have purpose, to have focus. Without that ability to focus catalysts for change never amount to much.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoThe comment my above comment is replying to literally compares Trump's America to Nazi Germany. How useful was Hitler as a means to empower the oppressed by giving them a villain for their public narrative? I am well aware that sometimes negative events can be a catalyst for positive change, that sometimes they cast light on the problem and make it visible. But comments here indicate that people long knew about, for example, Weinstein's bad behavior. It fostered jokes, not a groundswell of public outcry.
