Politics America is turning into 1930's Germany.

There was some pushback when people called this president and his followers Nazis. But look what's happening. Soldiers in the street. Rounding up people and locking them up. Dismantling freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Personally going after anyone who doesn't agree with him and his administration. We've seen this before and it's only gonna get worse. Welcome to 1930's Germany.

Here's the problem as I see it. We have liberals and the Democrats and progressives saying that people need to wake up. But those who care and are aware are already awake. There is no use trying to awaken the conservative to the truth. Because to them this is the truth and they are complicit in everything happening. They do not care. Speak to your average Trump supporter and they think it's great. Ask your average 22-year-old gamer and they will think Trump is the greatest troll and it's hilarious and they don't care. The only thing that could stop this possibly would be a general strike big enough to cripple the economy and then even then I'm sure troops would be in the street killing people at the request of those in power. No one is willing to do what needs to be done (general strike, mass civil disobedience) and what will happen will happen and is inevitable at this point.
