A historian 50 years from now, if historians are allowed to write in this country and if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, which I’m not certain of. But if that is true, a historian will say, what was at stake tonight and this week was the fact whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed. We’re on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system, and it could be a week away.

NBC historian warns of a future where ‘our children will be arrested and conceivably killed’ if GOP wins
Is this the same GOP which (sometimes) wants to:
- Reduce government power
- Require presidents to get approval of congress to change the law
- Enable ordinary people to own and purchase weapons to protect themselves from individual criminals as well as criminal governments
- Enable free speech on social media
It would appear one or more of the following is true about Mr. Beschloss:
- He is living in an alternate reality and only makes guest appearances here
- He is using some military grade mind altering drugs
- He is deliberately engaged in a “The Big Lie” propaganda effort
- He is engaged in the projection of his and his fellow political travelers intentions toward the GOP.
I considered adding “extreme hyperbola” to make a point, but multiplying realty by 10, 100, or 1,000 times only results in a larger vector pointing in the wrong direction from what he claims.
This is the kind of rhetoric used to justify mass killings and even genocide.
