We need to realize that in our battle against Trump and the entire Republican establishment, we are battling the logic of evil, which defies space, time, common sense, and rationality, and which is fueled by raw emotion and an obsession with violent imagery.
“The totalitarian mass leaders…could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.” —Hannah Arendt, “Totalitarianism”
