12. I've been studying Timothy Snyder a lot lately.

He talked about how hitler considered Jews to be non-people. the propaganda followed. hitler's philosophy, according to Snyder, was that only the eradication of the "other" would result in a good life for "us." Nihilistic, and murderous.

considering the absolute contempt that every member of krasnov's cabinet has displayed toward Democratic lawmakers in every hearing I have seen clips of, I believe that anyone who isn't them has been reduced to the status of non-human.

needless to say we're all in peril from this administration.
