he learned this lesson well

Hermann Goering:
Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

1. Who's going to defeat the Republicans?
The United States acted as the police of the world in the twentieth century, and was the nation that defeated the NAZI and Fascist regimes of Europe. We outlasted the U.S.S.R., and helped to rebuild that nation. Now we have been taken over by these same types of dictators. Who will come to end United States oppression across the world? How will they do it?

3. We will
We will defeat the fascist wing of the Republican Party.
And the first step is to name them for what they are. Don't let anyone call them Republicans or conservatives because they are not - what they are are fascists and religious zealots.
