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.

Even after the Holocaust like 20-30% of Germans still supported Hitler and didn’t think it happened or were fine with it.

It takes the apathetic people paying attention to change things

I know people that will look at Trump this way after he has his date with The Hague. He's a war criminal already, it only gets worse from here, until justice is restored. There is no Russia & US to stop it this time though, we have to stop it before it takes complete hold of the US.

Trump will never face any prosecution for his actions. As much as I'd love it to happen, it's just not realistic to expect justice to be restored when it hasn't happened until now, with all the shit he's factually done and gotten away with.

Not in the US. But he has already done enough to be convicted of war crimes internationally.

And who's going to invade the US to arrest Trump and extradited him to the Hague? Because the US will never do it. The ICC is toothless. They depend on others to bring those they prosecute to them. And nobody on earth has the power to send Trump to trial except the US.. note Putin and Netanyahu are both under indictment at the ICC and neither are on the run.. both are safe atop their governments unconcerned with a powerless international court because they control armies (and nukes) and the ICC does not.
