1/ Recommend the @PBS series, Rise of the Nazis, on how democracy died in Germany from 1930-1933.

The antidotes to fascism are to:

1. Strengthen #VotingRights.
2. Hold those who break the law accountable.
3. Fight disinformation.


2/ 4 key takeaways that America should consider before history repeats.

#1 Don’t think it can’t happen here
#2 Don’t cooperate with those who show authoritarian tendencies
#3 Holding political people accountable to the rule of law saves lives
#4 Disinformation leads to death

3/ Some details from the @PBS episodes that jumped out, if you’re interested.
“Rise of the Nazis” starts with a warning…

4/ “In 1930, Germany is a liberal democracy—with elections, parliament, and the rule of law.
Just 4 years later, freedom of speech is over, most of the political opposition is in jail, and the government is in the hands of murderers.
This is the story of how democracy died.” (Source: https://threader.app/thread/1393249543433515008)
