[08:15] RUTH BEN-GHIAT: So this place in Madison Square Garden, and it was one of many occasions that the Trump campaign has chosen to allow comparisons to be made to the Nazis. So that was Madison Square Garden, which was the site of a rally by American Nazis in 1939, talking about polluting the blood, speaking of Americans as an enemy within. This is all straight from fascism.
[** rally by American Nazis in 1939 = see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Nazi_rally_at_Madison_Square_Garden ]
[10:36] And when the Nazis built Dachau in 1933 because they were running out of space in prisons -- they built this camp Dachau. And they didn't put Jews in it at first. It was for the political opposition, liberals, leftists. Then it had Jehovah's Witnesses, then LGBTQ people. All kinds of other people went in there, and then Jews were targeted as well by the regime.
[** Dachau = see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau_concentration_camp ]
[11:55] AMNA NAWAZ: So, Ruth, members of the Republican Party now also criticize Vice President Harris for calling former President Trump a fascist, saying that that is the dangerous rhetoric. Are those kind of remarks on the same level to you?
RUTH BEN-GHIAT: Not at all. And this is part of an authoritarian projection mechanism. I call it the upside-down world of authoritarianism, where, ever since Mussolini, he was the first to call democrats the real tyrants and fascism was going to be freedom. Fascism was going to make Italy great again. That was a slogan, as was drain the swamp. Trump took that from Mussolini as well.
[** projection = (psychology) A belief or assumption that others have similar thoughts and experiences to one's own, including making accusations that would more fittingly apply to the accuser. (wiktionary) // the act of attributing one’s own flaws or intentions onto others. ]
[13:04] RUTH BEN-GHIAT: You know, there's this concept of authoritarian bargains, where a party or elites, they could be religious elites, business elites, they sign on to protect the leader, and their job becomes to protect and support the leader. And it's very rare once they sign on that they renege on this. And so you don't see much criticism. It's easier to blame the press or blame the political opposition. And so once they sign on, they find themselves having to be the party of more and more violence and more and more repression. And many of them realize only too late what they have gotten themselves into.
[** Authoritarian bargains refer to agreements or understandings between authoritarian governments and certain segments of society, typically where the government offers stability, economic benefits, or personal security in exchange for political compliance or the relinquishment of certain freedoms ]
[29:52] LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: On the day we met, she was headed to the tiny town of Pensacola to check whether a precinct at the local fire station would be usable.
[39:10] JASMINE WRIGHT: I mean, frankly, it's risky, right? I think, in elections, staffers and aides and people who are putting together a strategy, they want to focus on high-propensity voters. They don't want to have to rely on their wins for low-propensity voters, because it's just not clear what works with them. It's not clear what is enough to motivate them to go to the ballot, to put those ballots in the mail, to really show up on Election Day.
[45:21] I may have botched the words a bit, but, in genesis, that's what it says, right?
[54:06] MOSAB ABU TOHA: I think hope is a very abstract word. I mean, the only hope that I see in poetry is that I share the stories of people who are no longer with us. I mean, my hope is that I'm making the survivors of the stories that I tell to people.
[** One interpretation of "my hope is that I'm making the survivors of the stories that I tell" might be "my hope is that, by sharing their stories, I hope to keep the memories of those who have passed alive." ]
