A noted scholar on fascism and authoritarianism issued a dire warning Tuesday in response to remarks made by Donald Trump at his most recent rally in New Hampshire.
In response to the video (below), New York University professor of history and Italian studies, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, who writes about fascism, authoritarianism, propaganda, and democracy protection, observed that Trump “is ramping up his Fascist reeducation of Americans to see violence and cruelty as positive.”
Trump in the clip says, “And now it even pertains to Israel. What happened yesterday was incredible. I mean, whoa, so many people killed I don’t know you can hear but the number was much bigger than they reported even this morning. It’s a very big number very, very big number and vicious, young children just slaughtered. It’s terrible what’s going on. So this is ‘The Snake’ and people love it. and I do it if people want to hear it. Some people have heard it. some people haven’t. but we’ll do it right. ‘On our way to work one morning, down the path along the lake, a tenderhearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake…’”
One of the weirdest things you’ll ever see. A jaunty Trump says “yesterday was incredible,” about the attack that took close to 1000 lives before launching into a creepy recitation of The Snake. “A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake.” pic.twitter.com/OP9jbPL79G

Former Crooked Media editor in chief, Brian Beutler, also responded to the video, writing: “With this, and Ronna Romney McDaniel declaring the attacks a ‘great opportunity’—and really everything since Benghazi—it could not be clearer that the GOP salivates for barbarism and human calamity when the president is a Democrat. Utterly ghoulish party.”
