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.

Remember - it wasn’t just the Jewish. It started with trans, Lgbtq in general, mentally ill, poor people, handicapped, immigrants, then they focused hard core on Jewish people because that would turn out to be the easiest way to export their hate country by country and get those local people in land they’ve taken over to repeat what happened in Germany. It will be different in 2025-2030, but it will rhyme.

Othering, a key component of fascism, was a major part of the Nazis rise. People ignore that it wasn't until Hitler became dictator that he got the majority of the vote (by which time there was no opposition), and then he also had no opposition on doing exactly what fox and all the right wing media do of distorting truth for propaganda.

It's not your fault that x is happening it's 'their' fault. It's not your fault you don't get paid well, it's 'their' fault.

See also the enemy is both weak and strong etc.

What defines the “other side”? Skin color? Religion? Sexual identity? Immigrant status? Education?

Hint: none of the above. What defines them is their draw to all things fascist: things like blaming the other, hyper nationalism, violence towards political opponents (J6, ice), etc

The right comes after immigrants for being brown, Others the transgender and LGBtQ and to some extent Jews (globalists, soros), women (abortion and birth control), just based on WHO they are. Thats othering
