~ Charles Marsh, Strange Glory: A Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (2014), p. 133

Special Counsel Jack Smith Requests That Jan 6. Charges Against Trump Be Dismissed. Good Grief.

Special counsel Jack Smith has requested all Jan. 6 charges against Trump be dismissed. It is nothing short of pathetic. In fact, it's well past pathetic.

Esquire

“Nostalgia for better times is also part of the equation, since the ruler’s vow is to make the country great again. This involves the fantasy of returning to an age when male authority was secure and women, people of color, and workers knew their places” (p. 67).

~ Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Strongmen (2020), p. 67

The Left Hook with Wajahat Ali

“The leader’s displays of machismo and his kinship with other male leaders are not just bluster, but a way of exercising power at home and conducting foreign policy. Virility enables his corruption, projecting the idea that he is above laws that weaker individuals must follow."

~ Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Strongmen (2020), pp. 7-8

Public Notice

“Attacking trans women, and representing the feared other as a threat to the manhood of the nation, are ways of placing the very idea of manhood at the center of political attention, gradually introducing fascist ideals of hierarchy and domination by physical power to the public sphere.”

~ Jason Stanley, How Fascism Works (2018), p. 137
