As an armchair World War 2 historian myself, I cannot begin to tell you the kinds of chills that run through my body every time I watch a documentary about the rise of Nazism and the Nazi party in Germany in the 1930's and see the clear parallels between the party of Hitler coming to power back then, and MAGA coming to power in our present day. Its almost as if Drumpf had studied Hitler and adopted his dumbed-down, carnival barking, con man public presence, forged his own dictatorship, and he found a teeming pool of slack-jawed rubes and hateful, uncaring, dictatorship-loving Americans to mesmerize and exploit.
All that is left for Drumpf to super-accelerate and complete his totalitarian takeover is to stage his own Reichstag Fire moment. And when that fateful day arrives, and there is every reason to believe it will, I better not hear a goddamn word of contrition or regret from the mouths of those who blindly facilitated the end of the American Experiment in democracy.
“Man and fascism cannot co-exist. If fascism conquers, man will cease to exist and there will remain only man-like creatures that have undergone an internal transformation. But if man, man who is endowed with reason and kindness, should conquer, then Fascism must perish, and those who have submitted to it will once again become people.”
