Of course the “poisoning the blood” guy shared a video with the words “the creation of a unified reich” included in the promises for a second term.
He’s not “accidentally” echoing Hitler. Day One Dictator keeps telling us exactly who he will be & what we should expect.
And it’s fucking insane.
Thirty years ago the WWII vets would have kicked his ass to the curb and then some.
His dad was a German American bundist (American Nazi supporters) during WW2, let’s not pretend America was less shitty in the 40s when we know it wasn’t.
Who is pretending?
The GOP could have stopped him.
They chose not to. They chose to embrace the chaos and wield the temporary corrupted power it gave them.
They have more than failed as a political party. They have murdered their own democracy and even now think the very idea is hilarious.
If anyone, left or right, is ignorant about WW2 - vote them the fuck out. It’s perhaps the most significant part of our history outside of the revolutionary and civil war and if you don’t know it you have no business in government.
“Ignorance Is Strength”
How many times have you made a comment only to have some MAGoo come back with “I don’t know what you’re talking about…”?

It does. Thanks for reposting.
Expanding on this…I read some of Klemperer’s “Language of the Third Reich” years and years ago and it’s some fascinating stuff, but a fairly dry scholarly read if I remember correctly. On the other hand, his diaries published in 3 volumes under the title “I Will Bear Witness” are a gripping, insightful, and sadly relatable account of Germany’s descent into fascism while everyone walked around pretending everything was fine. Highly recommended.
Ronald Reagan was the first sitting President to use ‘Liberal’ as a pejorative. “Radical Liberals” were undermining the country. Before thqat there was a strong Liberal wing in the GOP.
If you see a Nazi, punch them. Don’t hesitate, just punch. If you need to, keep punching until you beat the fucking Nazi out of them.
Curb stomp’em?
“Nazis? What Nazis?”
There goes the GOP majority, always pretending to be on the reich side of history.
I fully believe Chuck Grassley wasn’t aware. He wasn’t aware of what he had for breakfast.
