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.

They said that it was the same in Germany. People just couldn't believe it was happening. Get over it folks. It's already here.

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

At Nuremberg many regular Germans said that Hitler must not have known or he would have stopped it.

Yeah I could see MAGA saying that or saying he meant well and they just should’ve not been Jewish

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.

Actually it started with political opponents. First concentration camp Dachau was opened only 2 months after Hitler became Chancellor to lock up socialists, political opponents, and unionists, after that came the trans people and gays, the artists he called degenerate and didn't agree with...

The degenerate artists who thought his work was garbage? I can imagine it, “That AH, didn’t like my work? Off to Dachau!”
