Remember the real genius of #Mussolini, #Hitler, their minions and other #fascists is

Nothing. Almost to a person they turned their brains and their hearts off and replaced them with greed, a thirst for violence and grievance.

This does not mean they are stupid, per se. Eichmann developed an extremely efficient transportation for murder system.

In other words the #Nazis spent astonishing resources and skill on murdering innocent people at the expense of their war machine.

You, yes you, are a better person, better rounded and more capable than anyone in Trump's circle or administration.

Sure, some of them might have been smarter than you or me (whatever that means) at some point but those that applies to are a) rare and b) turned off their brains and hearts to fit in.

Imagine being smarter than everyone in a room of #Nazis--that know you're smarter than them.

They are extraordinarily dangerous. But we can beat them if we stick together.

And to be clear, at this point the cost of defeating them is beyond my ability to comprehend.

I just know it can be done because at the end of the day fascism is so stupid and so violent it ultimately turns on itself.

So, we're going to win. The question is how soon can we take the victory, what will it cost and how much more will each day we wait cost.

And I'm not talking about money, y'all.
