Yeah.. a misreading/overreliance on perlstein when the worst R president he'd seen at time of publication was Bush sorta leads one to "it's all connected!!" conspiracism. Those books changed my entire mental landscape but there are other ideas out there..

Federal workers not entitled to back pay after shutdown, budget office claims Federal workers may not be entitled to back pay after the government shutdown ends, the Trump administration’s budget office wrote in a new draft memo obtained by The Washington Post, ratcheting up te...

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin β€” which Trump signed β€” during the last Trump shutdown.

This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.

Wehraboos rejoice... I guess they had an edge on us in rocketry for a hot minute but seriously, technology had very little to do with any axis success beyond "tanks can in some conditions move faster than walking soldiers (though Napoleon still got to Moscow faster)"

I guess by the 1920s they would have "modern" racial and eugenicist ideas

I think those guys were more reactionaries tho no.. did they have a comprehensive new vision of the racial state they wanted to implement? Or just take it back to 1859.. I don't know

I'm stuck on calling things fascist if there's not an easily identifiable strong man leading the movement.. a diffuse, oppressive legal regime doesnt really cut it i don't think
