We're not in the late 1930s yet.
There is an interesting difference this time around - the prominent wealthy individuals and power of corporations.
Hitler used an economic crisis to rise to power. Trump manufactured an economic crises to enrich himself and other oligarchs.
Hitler was focused on conquering and ethnic cleansing, MAGA seems to be focused on eschatology.
Eschatology: the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind. "Christian hope is concerned with eschatology, or the science of last things"
It feels like the only thing standing between us and the country embracing pure totalitarianism is a Reichstag equivalent. After seeing how the country reacted to 9/11, I think we can all agree that the country will happily embrace a Trump dictatorship if something like that were to occur.
That is partof Trumps foreign policy. He tries to piss of other countries into drastic actiin, so he can use that to justify radical action.
He doesn't need to. A false flag incident can be arranged
I don't think you're too far off.
Trying to educate dumb people invoking Godwin's Law non-stop, day after day, is a losing battle.
Yes, Trump is a fascist. No, America is not yet Nazi Germany.
