The "little Eichmann"

Its hard to believe that this actually happened:
HuffPost @HuffPost
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is taking credit for flying two planes full of immigrants to Marthas Vineyard.

We can thank the Governor of Florida for this capricious and performative stunt. It was an act of dehumanization. He treated fellow human beings made in Gods image like animals to satisfy the cruelty fetish of Rupert Murdochs hate-addicted audience of victims. It was a despicable and un-American act by a low man.
The images of decent people coming to the aid of people who are scared, lost, confused and stigmatized will present the backdrop for the November choice ahead. This is the choice: decency or cruelty. Freedom or control. Democracy or MAGA.
Ron DeSantis is a little Eichmann. Twenty years after the Nazi who planned the logistics of the Holocaust was hanged in Jerusalem, the man who interrogated him gave the world a warning. It should be heeded.
Avner Less said there are Adolph Eichmanns everywhere. He said they are all around us, but harmless and latent in a democracy. Less said the danger comes if democracy falls. He said it didnt matter if it was a dictatorship of the left or right. What he pointed out was that the latent Eichmanns turn deadly in an instant when dictatorships rise.

This is the choice: decency or cruelty. Freedom or control. Democracy or MAGA's Fascism.
