Purging Trump opposition from all government agencoes agencies, even the FBI
We often forget to mention how the free press and opposition were the first who got dismantled in the Third Reich. What followed were unions, people with disabilities, queer people and then other minorities at last. Many of them hoped that despite everything that’s happening around them and threats from Hitler to go further, they would be spared. Surely he wouldn’t go that far… and when he did there was nobody left to help them. Anyone who could’ve had any say in anything to stop the next step got liquidated before the Nazis could make their next move deeper into fascism and total control of the population.
