You're not paying attention. And I was not saying he's morphing into Hitler, I was saying he's using the same tactics, and we are as stupid as the German Jews in the 30s. Just what he's doing behind the scenes with the DOJ and FBI should make one shudder. The pylons of a free society are free press and justice. He's doing his best to discredit both, and to pack them with his spineless unprincipled unscrupulous loyal cultists.
Just watch political videos from before 2016, and you'll notice that things that used to outrage us have become the new "normal", because otherwise we would be in a permanent outrage. Their tactic is to tire us out and it's working. Btw, that's exactly what the nazis did too, in the beginning.
Again, I am not comparing republicans to the nazis except in tactics. This is the new textbook of autocratic controlled destruction of a democracy and grabbing of absolute power in time, with just a patina of democracy on the top for the hopeful *****s in denial (e.g. Russia, Hungary, the Philippines, Venezuela etc.). Autocrats have learned that stupid hoi-polloi frogs don't jump out of the cooking vessel if warmed up slowly till boiling, versus turning the heat to max from the beginning. Just make the estupidos believe they still have a democracy, especially as long as only "the enemy of the people" are being persecuted (economically and judicially, for now). As the famous poem says:
One knows it's happening by comparing the new normal with the old normal. One just has to really LOOK, like Sherlock Holmes not like Watson. This country has been going South at least since 9/11. I get it, life has educated me politically against my wishes, and I have experienced orwellian societies, and most Americans haven't, but that's not an excuse for not knowing history, and not LISTENING to people and experts who have.
It's like denying that there is a coronavirus epidemic going on. Just denying something and wishful thinking won't make it go away. Real life is not like that. Neither is Trump.
