“The Iraq War did not end because someone realized that the moral case against it was powerful, but when it collapsed into a maelstrom of chaos and death that the administration could not manage. Realistically, we are waiting for a major blunder to delegitimize the Trump presidency.” – Jeremy Varon

“We have been living through a deliberate disorientation of morality to indoctrinate a group feeling of superiority to vulnerable others… To fulfill that theft and confuse others, there has been an aggressive attempt to rehierarchialize human value.” – Dagmar Herzog

“I look at this moment not through the prism of 1933, but of 1776… This republic, however flawed, is built on centuries of democratic traditions, a commitment to the rule of law and a lived concept of citizenship based not on race or self-interest..” – CM @christina-morina.bsky.social

“If one wants to explain what occurs in the US right, one needs to recognize that the rise of Trumpism is just a part, though a very dramatic, influential, and perhaps decisive part, of a broader bundle of global trends, which need to be analyzed in transnational categories.” - Jürgen Kocka
