Michael Beschloss, NBC News presidential historian, tells Rachel Maddow that while there is nothing in U.S. history that matches Donald Trump's attacks on the integrity of the approaching election, Italian history might be more informative. Aired on 09/24/2020.

For Historical Parallels To Trump, Look To Mussolini: Historian | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
America and the world has had all it can take of the Mango Mussolini!! HE MUST BE VOTED OUT!!
@JSTR LoL did you watch the view today? I can’t get that out of my head!
It’s a good thing
@JSTR We plan on voting Joe into the old folks home!
@JSTR Fire burns regardless to how many time you say it doesn’t! I just said a prayer for your soul. If I’m wrong I’ve lost nothing. If you’re wrong you’ve lost EVERYTHING.
Do you think you’re smarter than Pascal????
Pascal’s wager is an argument in philosophy presented by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, theologian, mathematician and physicist, Blaise Pascal (1623–1662).[1] It posits that humans bet with their lives that God either exists or does not.
Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually.
I have lost nothing being a Christian. In fact the teachings helps me to lead a far more positive and healthy life. Atheism offers me none of the answers I need. Absolutely NONE!
@Marshall Ray – Said a prayer for my soul? Well, it will do me no good but perhaps it you will make you feel better in your fantasy world of make believe. I don”t think that believing in something that isn’t there just because it might be there. That doesn’t make sense. That could cover a whole realm of things like Santa, Cupid, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and so on. No, I don’t think so. I deal in reality. I believe that if something isn’t there, it isn’t there.
@JSTR
Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
The universe began to exist.
Therefore, the universe has a cause.
What was the cause of the universe? As a materialist you have to accept my premise. And if you say string theory I will laugh in your face! It is more plausible that the Easter bunny and Santa clause are real than multi-verse and string theory!
So since you have it all figured out and only believe what is here, than you have my answer. There cannot be an infinite amount of past events. So run it ALL in reverse to the second before ANYTHING existed and explain to me how we are here.
I’m all ears!
🌊We
should Vote in GREAT NUMBERS for BIDEN/HARRIS so there is NO QUESTION
as to who is the clear winner! Let us save our DEMOCRACY!🌊
Don Hardcase: You will either lose your job, when the East European shell company that pays you up and vanishes, because, “investigations.” Or? If you are, “American,” you’ll be forced to admit that YOUR donations were stolen and spent on hookers, cocaine and private jets that flew to Epstein Island. Trump’s cult got shafted the hardest, and you’re all more terrified of, “We told you so,” than any new administration. Forrest has you nailed pretty good, son. “Stoopid.” 😂
Jennifer Puhl: A, “Republic,” is a type of, “Democracy,” ignoramus. Read a book 🤣
Desert Girl69: Like ANY Normal is going to WASTE their precious time on a giant turd of Trumpoganda like that, son? It’s IMMORAL to waste real TIME on Propaganda, kiddo. You know how much of your life you’ve just SQUANDERED on that turd mentality T Rex plop? About 4 YEARS! 🤣🙃😆😂🤣
@Forrest Trump no, Jesus was a really good tile guy here in Phoenix…
You guys screwed up and spent a couple 100 million telling people to vote by mail. Then you paralyzed your base with the virus. Then you picked the worse candidate in history. Then you tried election fraud in 6 swing states that are controlled by dems. The plan was to cheat by ballot harvesting for weeks after the election in the 6 swing states. Then Ruth died. Now we know why Sleepy Joe had 800 lawyers because you had Roberts in your pocket. Joe will crap his pants on stage Tuesday, Hispanics, blacks and independents are breaking hard for Trump, dem enthusiasm is at historic low and now your plan to cheat has been exposed. Willow, sorry to tell you but this election is OVER. The real election that will be held on Nov. 3rd that is. You guys will try to have a fake election for weeks after but it will be laughed at. This will all be over in about 4 1/2 years for you. LOLOLOLOl GOD BLESS DJT!
But no one will say what we must do, other than voting- but AFTER he disregards that as legit. . . ?
Flood the streets of Washington in MILLIONS and occupy the proximity of the White House day and night. Alternatively, secede from the red states with their planned MAGA theocracy and autocracy.
It’s all you can do dude, vote, and encourage everyone you know to do the same, whether red or blue. Vote this 3rd rate crook and his enablers out of office in a landslide.
he is in the PEOPLES house, so the PEOPLE must evict him, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY
@tracey S exactly! fight fascism in its earliest stages as long as you still can!
What Trump is doing constitutes sedition!
@Vvs1 LooseStones FUKOFF STOOPID. PEDO TRAMPS KIDS MADE 127 MILL FROM HIS TERM IN OFFICE. THEYR’E ALL GOING TO JAIL
@Vvs1 LooseStones FUKOFF STOOPID. NO ONE CARES WHERE HUNTER IS DICKHEAD
@DesertGuy69 👈🏼 Fascist
@Forrest Trump WHERE IS HUNTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #TRUMP2020
#BLACKVOICESFORTRUMP✊🏾
#FILLTHESEAT✌🏾
@Lost Hero When you point your index finger 3 fingers are pointing back. I just thought a “FASCIST” a lesson✊🏾
nah ..when the GOP loses the senate he gets impeached again and removed this time… there is NO way they hold 22 senate seats when they are pumping all 100 million they have to defend 8 it’s gonna be fun to watch actually… I’m over this clown trying to gaslite me with the stupidity he says every day…. do they have hamberders on Nars ?
#youtu_be_CbgMghRnD1s 12
@J FUKOFF STOOPID. UR KIND IS LOSING. GET A GRIP
@J You are another ignorant (uninformed and misinformed) Trump supporter, displaying their ignorance on a public forum. SENATE – Pelosi is Speaker of the House.
The senate needs a supermajority to remove a president. So, unlikely to happen.
How’d that blue wave work in the senate in 2018? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Had you Marxist’s not ballot harvesting you would have barley won the house or maybe not a all. The cheating is over and ballot harvesting is about to be ruled unconstitutional. AND IT SHOULD BE! Without that you are about to see how center right this country is! A fair election is your worse nightmare! Also, proving that people on the left are uniformed, you need 2/3 of the senate to impeach. So do you want to rewrite your statement now?
As of September 23, 2020
The time for politeness and respect is GONE.
Conversations falling upon the ears of the hoodwinked deaf will be limited, if nevermore.
A sitting President, of the United States of America, has just stated he shall rule our election by nullifying ballots to remain in power. This now clearly shows, without doubt or speculation, how deeply he is compromised by a foreign power.
This treasonous declaration should bring deep concern to every American who values and desires to keep our Republic’s democracy.
It is beyond terrifying for a sitting President, of these United States, to show such wanton disregard for the American people.
For a sitting President, of the United States, to threaten the American people with the nullification of their voices, even bloodshed, should they wish to exercise their Constitutional right to cast a ballot on this country’s election day, is a burning red flag; our Democracy is in immediate danger!
War has been officially declared upon evey American’s right to vote, as is their right in our nation’s Democracy.
These are most dark and treacherous times; being perpetrated by a President, whose loyalty to our great Republic and its Constitution, is no longer evident.
Assisted by a foreign power, Donald J Trump has made it known to the world, he is determined to stay in power.
But, this is America, and her brave people, will stand up to this TYRANNY.
We, the people, will boldly defend our right to have our voices heard.
We will stand as one, and we will demand our voices be heard
LOUD AND UNAFRAID
VOTE HIM OUT!
VOTE HIM OUT!
OUR DEMOCRACY SHALL NOT DIE!
VOTE HIM OUT!
VOTE Him the f*** out!!!😡

Trump 2020!! Nazi Germany democrats !!
Your right on the money,the facts are there for everyone to hear and see.
Spoiler: It didn’t end well for Mussolini and fam.
@Christopher Oliver I want her to look nice bound with wire at the ankles and hanging upside down. It’s a sartorial challenge of historic importance. Should she wear heels?
Spoiler, this is pure speculation. MSNBC should be called a speculation network because that’s all they do anymore and if you pay attention, they’re usually wrong.
@Uncle Daddy 👈🏼Fascist
@Lost Hero Name calling and assertions, no evidence, facts or arguments. That’s all I ever hear from the left are they any on the left over 12 intellectually?
@Uncle Daddy 👈🏼 Fascist. Simple fact.
Remember how he ( Mussolini ) ended up ⚖️
#youtu_be_CbgMghRnD1s 1
Does this mean we can hope to see the vile putz hanging by his heels outside the eponymous tower in NY? I’d buy a ticket for that one.
#youtu_be_CbgMghRnD1s 1
Mussolini, Wussolini, same difference. Throw him out!
#youtu_be_CbgMghRnD1s 1
Cheato Von Tweeto’s lawyer Cohen layed out the plan how he will cheat: He doesn’t care will you vote for him or Biden. All he cares is who is counting the votes!
Wh have to be vigilant folks, we are dealing with the devil!
In America isn’t that treason? This will be history when this little man is charged. that’s history no one is taking over America.
@Indi Pillai Based on the intelligence of your remarks allow me to give you some free advice. Enjoy your life to the fullest while you can.
@Uncle Daddy
BLACK LIVES MATTER ✊
@Uncle Daddy
The poorest uneducated GOP racists and traitors come from shithole redstates that collect half their budgets from blue donor states FACTS magat
@Indi Pillai BLM! Something we agree on.
@Uncle Daddy
GOP IS KKK IN RED CAPS NOW
ignorant racists and traitors are the biggest threat to America not immigrants or muslims
ANYONE BUT THE PUSS GRABBER 2K20
We’ve been calling that fried mango Hitler from the moment he came down the escalator. Happy Hillary warned you day! This is your final chance to stop him, so don’t mess this up again.
#youtu_be_CbgMghRnD1s 1
You guys have already lost the election. In reality all you guys had was the plan to steal it in the courts with the massive election fraud that is currently happening. You wouldn’t know about it because you’re a drone that consumes Rachel’s trash. They are finding discarded ballots and mail all over the country. You guys are disqualifying yourselves because you got caught trying to steal the election and weren’t counting on Ruth dying.
Mussolini got his comeuppance. And then some. Trump must be hoping the parallels to the Italian strongman only go so far.
Vote early, in person, on paper. Tell all your friends and family.
Better vote in person! They’ve already found discarded mail in ballots in a river.
First they came for the socialists, and I said nothing as I wasn’t a socialist.
Then they came for BLM, and Faux News said they were rioters, so I said nothing.
Then they came for the Voters and I said nothing. I wasn’t registered, and had heard the Furher say that mail-in ballots were fraudulent.
Then they came for me, and there was no-one left to stand up for me.
—Paraphrasing Martin Niemoller during Nazi Germany.
Vote Early, and carefully. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/martin-niemoeller-first-they-came-for-the-socialists?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqrb7BRDlARIsACwGad7ImPIeue-MRNFpzeCoFTNVujhJjeZCwLNRm-Zra-I8lng_uiNhugEaAqHbEALw_wcB
This is just chilling ..terrifying…
trump and Melania will end up the same way Mussolini and his wife did
“For Historical Parallels To Trump, Look To Mussolini”
– I hope so. Mussolini ended up hanging from a meat hook, upside down.
Unfortunately only after he destroyed his country and allied himself in a war with Hitler. I would like to skip that part and go directly to the hanging from a meat hook.
@Natalie Nienhuis Yes, before he does any more damage.
ss Yes, thanks to Antifa.
