We have friends who came to visit from Italy in early 2016. They asked up about Trump winning.

We were like, don't worry he won't win.

They said, this is exactly what happened in Italy w/ Berlusconi. You should be worried. We've seen this before.

I think about that a lot.

I lived in Germany and Austria 1985-97 and I spoke with every eyewitness to the rise of Hitler who would talk to me about it. One recurring theme was, "The biggest mistake we made was thinking that if we just ignored Hitler, he would go away."

@JRBuckley @ericatty @mjk_4mjk@mastodon.ie Word to all of this but a general point: a problem never sorts itself... you got to look at it head on and fix it. These people were all "problems" or symptoms there of. No one wanted to fix them...
