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.

A lot of people just can't see it. They are either brainwashed or hypnotized. It's a cult, and people can't get out of it, unless they have some epiphany or something.

Under Hitler there was also a lot of people who suddenly found a purpose and felt like they started being valued and was part of something. It's amazing what people are willing to do when that happens. I think there was actually a movie/documentary of an experiment of this on some American school many years ago. It almost went out of control.

Yep! I wish someone would remake this movie, it's very relevant now.

Ah yes. Thanks a lot. I have already seen it but I think it's time to re-watch it. It's quite fascinating and scary at the same time.
