I watched this video awhile ago about 3 Yale professors leaving the U.S. because of the rise in fascism.

From that video, Marci Shore, Historian of Totalitarianism:

There’s an expression in Polish: “I found myself at the very bottom. And then I heard knocking from below.” In Russian that gets abbreviated to “dna ne sushchestvuet” - “there is no bottom”. What starts to matter, is not what is concealed, but what has been normalized. There’s no limit to the depravity, and the sadism, and the cruelty that we are watching now play out in real time.
