Jason Stanley: Did This 2 Min. Video Help Incite the Jan. 6 Rioters? | Amanpour and Company

As former president Donald Trump's second impeachment trial enters its third day, the question remains whether his words or actions incited the January 6 assault on the Capitol. But little attention has been paid to a video that was shown that same day, at the January 6 "March to Save America" rally in Washington, D.C. Jason Stanley, a scholar of fascist propaganda, claims that this short video -- shown immediately after Rudy Giuliani left the stage, prior to the attack on the Capitol -- was full of themes and tactics that threaten liberal democracy. Stanley breaks the video down with Hari Sreenivasan and elaborates on its role in the violence that took place on that infamous day.
Originally aired on February 11, 2021.

Reaganomics was the beginning of the end of the middle class. Still waiting on the trickle down. Trump finished the job.

[@markanthony3275]

Reaganomics was ultimately a success because the critics stopped calling it that when it produced the desired results. There were four presidents who lowered corporate taxes and taxes on the wealthy, one of them was a Democrat , JFK. The results were that the gov't received more in taxes from those entities. Why ? Because when you place absurd taxes on corporations and wealthy people they simply refuse to pay them and find a way to hide their money. When you make taxes reasonable...they pay them.

This is the third time I watch this interview and it is more chilling each time. Maybe because I'm 73, left Cuba in '61 after witnessing the fall of democracy at age twelve and everything that preceded it from age nine; maybe because I've read 1984 as many times with the same effect; maybe because I've also lived, and worked, and burrowed into the cultures of different countries where I've lived out my exile's live. What troubles me is this: we've known this is how it works. For decades we've known. And yet the "way" it works, keeps working. The lies keep working. The propaganda keeps working. The intellectual and moral corruption keeps working. The fear as a weapon of control keeps working. We are no different today, as a "people", as a species, as humans, than we were in the times of Pharaohs. And I can see the writing on the wall: American democracy died long ago; American capitalism took its place saying it could build a better world and look where we are. There is an old proverb in Spanish that translated goes something like this: in muddy rivers, advantage fisherman. And the last four years have left every aspect of American life in turmoil. A fractured nation, a fractured nation that is at the same time being further segmented by algorithms and deplorable personal habits and social values (like lying to get ahead, materialism, greed, selfishness, racial superiority, or inferiority, victim syndrome, battered wives and children and, wait for it, some husbands too). Heightened fears; heightened anxieties; heightened anger. A fading God. This is the kind of brew that brings down civilizations. And if you haven't noticed that we are in free fall, you haven't been paying attention.

The final scenes are stunning. Clip #1 shows a fallen soldier in a flag-covered casket being carried by his fellow soldiers.

Clip #2 at the end shows Trump, completely surrounded by a white glowing light, walking toward his followers. Definitely an attempt to portray Trump as a spiritual leader, godlike, with a mighty righteousness. Lastly, the choice of music...no patriotic march, no swelling strings to convey peace and bonding among Americans. It's an edgy, aggressive & forceful rock song which, in it's original version, targeted males and their frustrations with lyrics such as "it doesn't even matter how hard you try" and "in the end it doesn't even matter."

Stanley speaks clearly and is able to keep his focus on the point he is trying to make, without sliding into irrelevancies or side issues. I agree with his analysis of what's happening in America, probably because I've studied fascism in depth and can easily see the similarities between the original fascists and the current crop. I still don't see the mass mobilization in defense of democracy that I think is necessary to defeat American fascism; instead i see "leaders" working hard to make the old system work one more time, and failing because that system is disintegrating. Pro democracy Americans are deeply reluctant to face the need for such a mobilization to begin right now; and stick with the usual stuff about the coming election, when their votes will, if they win, put an end to the rise of fascism and restore "normalcy", the usual political "bickering" and the ups and down of the election cycle. Unfortunately, I believe that the usual methods are not up to the task, and have been superseded by "constitutional fascism", in which the fascist have figured out how to game the system, using the provisions of the Constitution and the laws derived from it to install an American version of fascism, complete with an infallible Leader and a violent movement devoted to him.
