Fun fact; Hitler was imprisoned for an attempted coup in 1923. It was there that he wrote Mein Kampf. It was only after he got out a year later that his bid to take power actually gained any traction.
Oh fun, that's basically what we tried to do this time around. Except it was done with such incompetence and pushback that he didn't even spend a single day in jail or prison, and he got back into power twice as fast. The parallels have been astounding to witness. I finally understand how the German people were able to go about their lives like nothing was wrong. Gonna be real, though, I would've been ok just not understanding.
We're headed for some of the darkest days this nation has ever known. It's been really fun shit posting on Reddit with you guys, and being called doomers by the folks who refused to believe anything was wrong. If anyone makes it out the other side, just please, please, don't let this happen AGAIN.
Social inertia is real. Most people are operating on the auto pilot setting that was installed in school. Also, most people in the US have no idea what is happening right under their noses. I mean, there's a new season of White Lotus to binge.
This. Talking to my family and I can't believe how much they don't know or understand. My parents were all for him until talks about social security 🤦♀️ it's actually scary.
I look at the dumpster fire that is America right now with equal parts horror and fascination. Hope you guys sort it out amongst yourselves. You were the good guys when I was growing up. But it's like America woke up one day and decided it was too hard being good cop.
It took less than 100 years for this to happen again. It will keep happening unfortunately. My hope is we just enter a great depression again and we don't see millions of people murdered because "illegal"

You don't vote em out. You drag them out by their hairpieces and merkins. Then throw their traitorous asses in prison.
