Chomsky on Twit and the Repugnantans

In the video below he said:

"Trump is in fact [...] the most dangerous figure in human history. The Republican Party today is the most dangerous organization in human history" (11:20).

"There will be major protests now, everywhere, against the use of military force to occupy American cities and to crush peaceful dissidents. This is intolerable in a democracy. We can't sit by and let it happen, let it proceed step by step until we reach real catastrophe" (19:48).

From another recent Chomsky interview:

"The last several decades pretty much since Gingrich, and extensively since McConnell, the Republicans have just gone off the spectrum. If you look at international rankings, they're alongside the European Parties with Neo-fascist backgrounds. Serious political analysts describe them as a radical insurgency that has abandoned parliamentary politics" (2:58).

"This is a situation which has never arisen in a functioning democracy apart from the fascist takeovers in Italy and Germany. [...] Trump is sometimes, even by experts in the topic, called moving toward fascism" (5:31).

But he goes on to say that Twit is not capable of the sort of organized, fascist ideology of the past, where the dictator's Party controls everything in the country. For Chomsky Twit is more like a "tin-pot dictator' with the big corporations and wealthy in charge. Twit is just an idiotic figurehead being manipulated by their strings. But that is just as bad, given their agenda is pretty much the destruction of democracy, human life and the environment through their paid off and "most dangerous" puppets Twit and the Repugnantans.

I'd add that Chomsky is talking about the first definition of fascist ideology above. There is a second definition more in line with "the merger of State and corporate power."
