It will never not astound me that as we watch the rise of Nazism in real time a century later, appeasement is again the gameplay, despite a century of understanding how and why that doesn’t work.

This post was prompted by everything I’ve read from America in the past hour.
The academic/desperate people looking to flee.
The setting up of checkpoints on the Canadian border to stop Americans leaving.
The South Americans being dragged off planes…except the El Chapo family.
Charging judges.
…Trump getting a sky palace from Qatar.
Doctors being fined for not allowing 10 year old patients to give birth to their rapist’s baby.
Arresting and deporting people who use the USA’s much-lauded freedom of speech to protest.
Sacking thousands of people to make billionaires who sack them richer.
The turkeys were told not to vote for Xmas. They went ahead and voted for Xmas. Whilst what Trump is doing to America is abominable, I have very little empathy for a nation who despite knowing who Trump was and what he would do, either still voted for him or stayed at home.
Still defying court orders to bring people home after they were deported without due process
Trying to do away with due process
Still trying to find a back door for Trump to remain in office forever.
EVERYTHING THE TRUMP REGIME IS DOING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT’S ALL WHAT HITLER DID
And anyone who voted for Trump,whose forebears actually physically fought against fascism and specifically Nazism during WW2, I imagine they’d hate you right now. With good reason. 🖕
With a Grandfather Nazi POW2.5 yrs - how anyone could support fascist dictators is incomprehensible.
Such as in the case of 3 male siblings.
For whom I do not pine.
For now luckily there is no checkpoints stopping anyone leaving. What they are doing though is photographing(or plan to) anyone leaving the US by those land borders as they never used to actually track most who left only who came in. It's just a huge privacy issue but par for the course.
Tell me about it. Plus the Philippines, Turkey and Hungary going authoritarian years ago too. It's entirely possible that, with some bad luck, we return to an era where kings and emperors were the norm and Democracy was a forgotten system of government. And the rich couldn't be happier about that.
The US is the birthplace of fascism
Not Nazi Germany
Hitler learned from the US.
All this is our history coming back to the present
None of this is new to us
But neither are our solutions.
We have to save each other. That’s where our power is &our path forward is.
Fascism is Capitalism in Decay
AIPAC and the ADL managed to convince everyone that it was the antisemitism that was the defining characteristic of the Nazi. Not the misogyny, bigotry, eugenics and anti-intellectualism
Bingo. And when I try to call out Democrats (my lifelong party) for this and advocate for real change, they say "we don't want your bullshit in our party"
It's time to topple those that are capitulating to Trump, comfortable in their corporate donations while they thumb their nose at the people.
The Legacy Paradox suggests most people are forgotten after 75 years or 3 generations...I've seen similar theories that the details of major events are also forgotten after the same period....works for Nazism - WW2...
It’s not Nazi.
The name is MAGA and everything you think about Nazis ( Germans) will pale in comparison to how the world and history will see MAGA ( Americans)

If we should, maybe that's a conversation to have.
That said our political system has been screwed up for generations and this just is more proof we needed to reform it 50 years ago.
As for empathy, we fully grasp we don't deserve it.

There is also the deployment of military on your southern border
Question- Are people trying to move from red states to blue states or are they just staying put & hoping for the best?

What an unfortunate timing combination. And Xi pushing the limits too.
They apparently are having trouble figuring out that successful extortionists always come back for more.

Nothing but a bunch of fawning, frozen, feckless fucks.
Forgive me for writing in Ancient Greek but it is written as “….Yeah. We’re fucked…”.
Not too sure how well that translates into English though?

Deaf, dumb, and blind rule the day.
