Hannah Arendt, anticipating today’s Republican Party: “Rule by sheer violence comes into play when power is being lost.” From “On Violence,” 1970.

Good morning, @tkmdonnelly. As you know, Hannah Arendt describes totalitaianism, the horror of the holocaust, or the banality of evil, as denying the faculty of human judgment. She goes one step further in her book On Violence by calling totalitarianism: 'torture.' https://t.co/OB5iMaodq0
