My four year study into totalitarianism generally, and fascism specifically, has taught me two valuable lessons. The first is that the common thread among democracies that collapse into dictatorship is that no one panicked until the threat was already in power and it was too late.

The article begins with a case study-Nazi Gemany, with the free and fair election of Adolph Hitler. But the article could have equally begun with the first free and fair election of Vladimir Putin, or even Victor Orban. These elections of authoritarians nevertheless led quickly to fascism of varying degrees.

After the election, it’s too late to realize you made a mistake.
