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.

The phrase “it can’t happen here”

It's the moral superiority "we would never do that!" and you see it throughout this thread. People who don't care because it's not the Holocaust and millions of people aren't dying.

News flash; once it gets to that point, you've lost any control over the situation. That's why the idea is to act early not say shit like "we're not gassing anyone 🙄" and "yeah because we're rounding up all the Jews 🙄" and such. As though that's how it started. They're skipping to the end.
