The specter

“I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly”: an excerpt from Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker’s February 19 State of the State address:

“If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this: it took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and forty minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. And all I’m saying is that when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.”
