I agree with the sentiment, but there’s lots of islamofascist nations that exist in he Middle East and Asia that’s built on bigotry, misogyny, and the persecution of homosexuals
Do the women in Afghanistan, who get to do nothing but be breeding slaves have a good life? Or what about the girls in Iran who don’t want to wear hijab and get beaten to death, I guess you are cool with these things 🤷♀️
So how is it ending well in these places then? Their everyday life is hell, and no one is going to save them from the men who rule these places, I’m autistic and very blunt, so if I offended you, I apologize, not my intention.
America First started with the KKK as a white supremacy/fascist group. Hitler used their message to start Germany First. America First 2.0 is the same monster. But with 54% of Americans reading below elementary level, it’s working.
I would think that the grandfathers that fought in World War II, who saw fascism, would be rolling over there in their graves, watching their grandchildren, who are now Trump supporting adults
Americans voted with their wallet in mind. Democrats failed to control the inflation on time - it is improving but is too late now. POTUS ignored the southern border crisis, and this is the result. No fascism here, family economics are first in America, and will always be. This is a punishment vote.
The world knows about Trump and who he is. The world has seen his kind before... And like the other guy, he got away with an early coup attempt that failed.
I hope that this time the institutions will hold. Above all, I hope that not all Republicans are crazy. Republican majorities in the House and the Senate are small. A few can save democracy.
Honestly, if they got richer while minorities ended up in camps, they would be fine with it. The only thing MAGA will whine about is that trump doesn't give a damn about them. They are sick, horrible people
We are Americans. We watched and wondered until we too, were attacked. We have short memories and like to gamble. Plus we are simpletons, never learning from the past. We are low IQ in large numbers, ready to be owned.
I was taught about WW2 in the 6th grade! How they used propaganda, to "charm" the people, the camps, all of it. It was standard education, in my time.. WTF happened?
But our educational system has slowly removed this horrible time from our history lessons-- and our youth know nothing about it. Convenient for those among us who want to try this again.
I am German and I never ever thought something like this would happen again. The USA are riding a razor blade at the top of a cliff. And they are at the brink to lose balance and fall and sink into a very dark and dangerous NAZI swamp. I am angry, frightend and very concerned.
I’m trying to be optimistic ,but we have to be prepared . He’s a moron but a dangerous one history cannot repeat itself . We cannot be silenced we can my give up.
This development is a tragedy. It happened bc people didn´t do fact checking, the media failed its job as the 4th power in a democracy and the justice sropped working. How can this happen? People must be aware that a democracy can not be reelected when its gone. There are no free elections anymore.
I do not want to give up hope. But what I see is very deillusuinal. These oligarchs will ruin this country faster than everybody might think. The consequences are horrific. Not only domestic but also in foreign politics. No common sense, no knowledge, contracts woun´t be worth the paper written on.
It's a novel, written in the 1930's, about a fascist leader in the US who rises with the support of the religious right. I read the first 1/2 a few years ago & had to put it down as there are so many similarities to where we are in the US now & it was too hard to read it as fiction when it's real.
Religion has caused billions of deaths since the crusades. Women lost their independence, their business and their knowledge about health and contraception because they were witch hunted and burned. Only because men fear independent well educated women and men. When will the books and stakes burn?
OMG. The author seems to be a prophet. I really can´t believe that the wold has to watch that. America is losing its reputation and leadership because they kicked their values out of the window. And people always ignore that a democracy can´t be reelected when it is gone. No free elections anymore.
He was watching what was happening in Germany and the response here from the religious right and people like Charles Lindbergh and put it together that a fascist movement could take root here and, evidently, he wasn't wrong.
The UK is no better. Politics driven by demonising immigrants. That's why Brexit went through. We are realising now that it didn't solve 'the problem', so certain people like Farage are looking for more Draconian solutions (remember the Final Solution?)
I feel like not enough people are talking about the similarities between the 1930's and now. I've always wondered how the German people could "let" that happen? Now I know!
Yes, the despots run away with the fortunes of commoners, and then it’s suddenly very antisemitic to be angry about it. I’m a Jew and I don’t like to be leveraged in that way. Justice should come to all.
Mother was German bride of a WW2 Tommy. He was the antisemite, she was anti Catholics & Poles, in old age referred to Black people as ‘chocolate drops’. I rather suspect, if still alive, Dad would be in ‘Reform’ camp. Bruv is! Point is, not becoming racists &/or bigots often takes extreme hard work
I don’t know any Americans that are “embracing” this new administration. No one. The ones that are embracing it, are not worth knowing. Please do not lump “Americans” together in that regard. We are quite divided if you haven’t noticed. Ugh! 😩 😢
And half the country has been fighting like Hell to keep it from happening again here...while the other half is brainwashed. But manipulation and illegal and unethical tactics of multi billionaires won that battle. 🙄 PRAYING people wake the F up!
Well hopefully you guys don’t have to see it again, because history repeats itself. For America there once was a tyrant named, Andrew Jackson… now there’s a new tyrant named, Donald Trump
You would think Americans would be smart enough to learn from Germany’s mistakes, but here we are. (Well, roughly half of us did learn, but the other half apparently slept through history class.)
They would know. However, there were Americans back then who in fact supported Hitler. Seems thats the case now and they don't mind it. Thats the problem.
This happens over and over...my Great Grand Father came over fleeing some very bad deeds committed on behalf of Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor, after the Franco/Prussian War.
He didn't kill anyone but he took all the poor French farmers food???

Are there leftover nazis like confederates in the bible belt? We are seeing Nazis and Confederate flags in the southern states more now than ever. Do German auto plants in those states have anything to do with raising hate crimes. Non White supremist want to know.
That’s why their younger generations are leery of want to be dictators. The new school system here will rewrite history. Sad days indeed. Democracy dies without education.
My daughter is studying the lead up to WW2 in her History GCSEs and can see it, at 15 years old. My generation wondered how it happened, her generation are seeing how in real time!
Born within hailing distance of WW2, I voraciously read everything I could on how it happened, never understood how Germany rolled over for the Nazis. Holy boys, do I get a sense of it now. We've lost the living memory of early 20th century fascism, to our everlasting woe.
lol. Trump shares more patterns with Erdoğan than with Hitler. Both are selfish individuals who act according to their own convenience. Hitler was on an entirely different level, and this perspective risks normalizing and making Hitler seem understandable.
Trumps support is not like Hitler's. It is a lot more fragmented and much of it was derived from the single issue voter who was fooled into thinking that Trump is here to save babies from abortions and communism.
Sure, to win an election. He already has the power. He already skirted accountability, he will be able to play golf 24/7. Trump is no Hitler, not even close. Now he forgets all about who brought him into power and sets things up for his maximum benefit. He is no idealist.
He’s an opportunist, plain and simple. He only ran for president again to stay out of jail.
Know what? It worked. How pathetic that? I’m not that afraid of him. I’m afraid of the consortium of idiocy and hatred that he’s assembled.
I am more concerned about the ineptitude demonstrated in his first administration. The world is on the brink of global conflict, and climate change will only exacerbate a bad situation. We are currently deep in uncharted waters. Trump is the worst outcome at the worst possible time.
Oh yeah? Tell me what is dumb about thecsign never mind the guy. You haveca different story to tell? I am post war baby german, grew up with the aftermath
I have family who escaped Austria 1 step ahead of the Nazis after Kristallnacht. Neighbors turned against neighbors. Blame-and- Dehumanize is the first step in genocide.
When I lived in W Germany I met the older people learned how easy humans take the wrong road. The irony? They and my family who served in WWII were common people. I served as an American with a German Air Defense unit. Learned a lot enjoyed living in a small village away from large military bases.
I know someone Austrian (I live in Austria) who was made to fight in that war & I have two great uncles who were in Japanese/French camps as POWs. Yes, we have seen this all before. I write about populism, charisma theory, disinformation, etc., & it's a very formulaic approach.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Takei both experienced fascistic governance and have gone out of their way to scream, "This is how it happened the last time" and no one's paying them any attention because "it can't happen here". https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks03/0301001h.html
the way all the red states show high rates of poorly educated voters and blue states being highly educated… yeah that’s telling in itself. know your facts and history!
MAGA - "He is not H*tler!"
Other People - "True, but he is following similar patterns and there are several videos of H*locaust survivors saying they are very worried"
MAGA - "La La Laaaa"
He has literally used the same phrases: Germany 1st -> America 1st and Make Germany Great Again -> fuckers have his version of that shit on their red baseball caps
I sometimes wonder if it is one of those things that appear different from the inside. I am not an American, I am on the other side of the world in a different hemisphere and it is pretty obvious from the outside.
I'm in the UK. A lot if us can see it, but there's also a fair amount who can't, or who like what they see and want the same here 🙇🏻♀️
Whereabouts are you?
Americans took their freedoms for granted and are about to find out. Sadly, we will all feel the pain of what's coming but nothing more could have been said that wasn't already said. Only true pain and suffering will get across to the nut jobs that voted for fascism. The non-white ones.
We can't either. 2 of the 8 members of our multigenerational family are disabled. The good countries don't want us because they think disabled people will be a drain on their resources. We can't afford to go anywhere, anyway.
My name is Patrick Lovell. I have the $71 Trillion Truth truth that can take down MAGA and the billionaire criminals that bankrolled them. If you despise corruption and fascism and won’t bend the knee to tyranny please unite with me.

I am the son of a German mother who came here in ‘65. She was born in Berlin in 1944. The stories I have heard. She has said as much. Maybe it’s time to go back from where “we” came from???
You’re completely wrong about that. My husband’s family all live in Germany and are horrified at what’s happening here. They know exactly what the Nazis did and see it happening here.
Comments
Because I remember watching you see it, I'm quite fearful.
for every Trump misstep and fascist outrage you’re about to get on a daily basis.
Wolf was Hitler’s nickname and Trump is certainly..little Hitler.
Feel free to adopt. Trump would hate it.

So similar.
4 letters, 2 vowels and 2 consonants, used to define those with vicious tendencies and led by a man with a Germanic sounding name.
MAGA?
YES YOU DID!
Religion has caused billions of deaths since the crusades. Women lost their independence, their business and their knowledge about health and contraception because they were witch hunted and burned. Only because men fear independent well educated women and men. When will the books and stakes burn?
US elections 2024: Trump wins with 50% of the vote.
We need to step back and relive history 😳
This never stopped for us
They WON'T end well.

HISTORY: KL Auschwitz was the largest of the German concentration camps & exterminator centers.
I had PTSD for months after visiting. 💔
Everyone, please visit.
We are about to become the 4th Reich. He said it himself, "We will be a unified reich." HIS LITERAL WORDS.
He parrots Hitler a lot. I point it out.
Ukrainians HAVE seen it before and are bleeding to free themselves. We are not helping them enough.
Putin has waged war on our democracy & the West has appeased him. We've seen that before too.
We will see this again.
Populism never ends well, the orange is the new chavez
I love your movies. 🙂
OMG, the similarities are f@cking scary.
Once in power, he went after his opponents & anyone who stood up to him.
Dark, dark days ahead for America. 😱
