Don’t be nice to this guy. He gets stronger when you do that. Then it’s harder to fight him the next time. Fascism rides in on the wings of flattery and flourishes by making itself an immediate practicality. Recognize that and don’t fall for it. The strongman, addicted to praise, is fragile at his core. Our job is to rip his weak heart out of his chest and send him to the political graveyard. The heroes of history are not the ones who kissed the ring.
