Fascism did not thrive in the 1930s because it was strong. It thrived because the democracies were weak. We must understand that in this moment of grave danger.
Everyone should know who Avner Less was. Everyone should know who Adolf Eichmann and Reinhard Heydrich were. When their crimes were discovered the world promised it would never forget, but it has.
No person who loves their country and takes its security seriously could ever even remotely consider voting for Jim Jordan, a preposterous figure whose rise portends a national catastrophe every bit as much as Trump’s did.

Mitch McConnell will be remembered by history as a coward. He was a small man in a moment when America needed a giant. He didn’t measure up.
The American people have gotten to know Ron DeSantis, and they don't like him at all—for good reason. His campaign is collapsing. And it will long be remembered as a national joke.
Each GOP candidate running is weak, dishonest and collaborated with extremists. Each person was tested. Each failed that test. Such is the rancid state of America’s Republican Party.
