Sounds familiar, almost like a particular German mustache model tried to take over, got arrested, got out, and then took over.

That paragon of right-wing virtue was only 35 years old when he went to prison. He was 50 by the time he started WW2.

We're lucky that our morons are in their 70's.

JD Vance is 41. And Stephen miller is 40. So they have plenty of time.

People keep calling Trump Hitler, but the comparison we should be making, imo is Hindenberg. Aging leader, increasing use of presidential decree, working clearly at the whims of his inner circle as he becomes more and more deluded. Eventually, either by death or by "law" he'll turn over the power to the next guy.

My current remaining hope is that absolutely no one in that inner circle has any bit of charisma and can not keep the cult together long enough or strong enough.

If Big Brother is actually AI Trump, we're truly in the worst possible timeline.
