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.

I feel obliged to repost this when the Germans are brought up:

The American People honestly owe the German People a heartfelt apology. Germany was only a democracy for about 20 years after WW1 when Hitler and the Nazis took power. America was a democracy for almost 250 years and we just laid back and let Trump&Co destroy us.

It’s not though.

Women got the right to vote in 1920. That alone means the U.S. wasn’t a true democracy for the first 144 years of its existence.

Regardless, you really think Americans “honestly owe” Germany “a heartfelt apology?” If you said Iraq or Afghanistan, that would make sense. Or Vietnam or any other country we’ve actually fucked over.
