But we're not allowed democracy. When we voted in a guy who just wanted to reform the failing system—put up a wall, rebalance trade, try to reindustrialize—democracy *called* him Hitler

And still seems more interested in him to this day, than the guy who they replaced him with

You know what, normal people *want order*. You can call it fascism, I guess it is if you're saying democracy *rejects* order

Normal people want normal lives. When your ideology denies them this, they don't just say "Well okay, if it's for democracy"

They become MORE "fascist"
When you reject all reform, and insist that normal people buy in to your boutique, frankly bizarre beliefs, that normal people are *hurt* by

And when they follow the democratic process to oppose this, by voting in someone they'd like to make things just a little more normal—
When your response is "He's a Russian agent, here's the proof we used every agent of the media and deep state to fabricate, we're impeaching him twice, and trying again now that he's out of office," a 1990s liberal is so toxic to democracy we have to ban him from all social media
Then sorry, you *deserve* fascism. You *deserve* to be afraid of the people. Because you've made the people's lives hell, and you've denied them any political process capable of undoing what you've done to them

Enjoy it. It's not going away. It's only going to get worse for you.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
