  7. Another banger of a passage from @sarahkendzior’s They Knew opens Chapter 4: bookshop.org/p/books/they-knew-how-a-culture-of-conspiracy-keeps-america-complacent-sarah-kendzior/17855878
    They say that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Since Americans spent centuries failing to learn from history, we get to repeat it all at once. The year is 2021 and we are living through simultaneous revivals of the worst of the American past: the Civil War, the Spanish Flu, the white mob violence of the 1919 Red Summer, the extreme wealth disparity of the Gilded Age, the fascist movements of the 1930s and 1940s, the Jim Crow era of voter suppression, the riots of the 1960s, the corruption of Watergate, the cover-ups of Iran-Contra.

  9. They create culture wars and push legislation that dehumanizes people with the least power in our society as a way to distract you from the shady crap they’re up to.

  13. “As president, he used the power of the deep state to allege a conspiracy of the deep state against him-an extremely deep state move.” — @sarahkendzior in #TheyKnew. Sarah makes so many incredibly astute observations in this book. It’s a must read!
    Photo of the book page this quote comes from. The section is about how Trump used the tools of wealth and privilege to shield himself from having to face his crimes.

  15. This is an area where we need to catastrophize and reward those lines of thought. The harm is real and it will be exponentially increased if we aren’t intentional about how we use these tools. @cherthedev/1636753750735073280
