How Trumpism is like Stalinism. A thread. 🧵🧵🧵
Many people make valid comparisons of Trumpism to Nazism. But I think MAGA authoritarianism bears more similarities to Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union – ruthless, paranoid, dishonest and determined to climb into every aspect of the lives of his people.

“We’re going to Russia. It’s going to be a big deal.”
As Trump has grown older in age, he’s shown an increasing propensity for forgetting names, forgetting where he is, or even forgetting actions he took during his first term, like appointing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

The gap between what is in Trump’s dark mind and what is true is grew enormous today. It does feel like a further spiral, a deeper and more dangerous descent.

I personally like Mamdani, but my big fear is that Democrats nationwide will take the wrong message from his victory and try running likable candidates with good policies all across the country.

This is as big a lie as anything the Bush folks said in 2003. Demonstrably false.
Q: When the president says Iran is very close to a nuclear weapon, is he relying on US intelligence or intelligence sharing from an ally?
LEAVITT: It is a fact and the US govt maintains this fact that Iran has never been closer to a nuclear weapon

Surprised more folks aren't pointing out that either Netanyahu deliberately started a war he *literally didn't have the resources to finish* and just *wished on a star* that Trump would bail him out or that's *fully insane* and the fact that he started the war means he already knew Trump would help

"distance themselves from the liberals." Look dude, there are not enough leftists to win this thing alone. There is no movement that takes on Trump that succeeds without a broad coalition with liberals and centrists and horrified conservatives on board. It's popular front or bust.

Is today the day the Democratic leadership realizes what tens of millions of us have already realized? Or do they still need 20 meetings with consultants to figure out what is happening?

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.
