Our democracy is at immediate risk, and history is repeating itself. What Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing mirrors the actions of past authoritarian regimes. It took just 53 days for Hitler to dismantle Germany’s democracy. 53 days. He used executive orders, erased marginalized groups, and silenced opposition—while too many stood by and did nothing.

Trump’s executive order erases transgender and intersex people from legal recognition—just like Hitler erased Jewish and trans people from legal records before persecution began.

Elon Musk now has access to the U.S. Treasury’s financial system—just like Putin’s oligarchs seized control of Russia’s wealth to consolidate power.

Trump is erasing vital medical information from our government and silencing opposition—just like Hitler suppressed science and banned opposing views.

Trump is dismantling government agencies, firing oversight officials, and gutting institutions like USAID and the Department of Education—just like Hitler replaced government officials with loyalists to eliminate accountability.

We are on day 15, and we are running out of time. We have to make change, or our democracy will be gone.

    A lot of those people are pro-facist, they just want a leftist facist regime instead of the right facism we got.

      oh look! here’s yet another person who is blabbering about fascism despite the fact that they obviously don’t even know what it is.

      Fascism is a far right-wing ideology. Like, literally always. By definition.

      What do you call a person that is pro-universal healthcare, pro separation of church and state, pro individual liberty, pro LGBTQ, pro education, pro women’s rights, and pro-government accountability?

      You’d call them a fascist I guess, but you’re diluting the term.

        A communist.
        Or socialist. Or even social-democrat in some instances. “Someone from the left”.

          Pro individual liberty isn’t a communist stance. Guess where the “commune” part of communist comes from.

      Found the guy who doesn’t know what words mean but has to blurt out whatever unexamined thoughts wander into his brain.
