In 1933, Hitler took power, purged civil servants, bypassed courts, banned political opposition, and arrested dissenters. It took under 90 days. Trump’s DOJ stunt wasn’t just optics—it was Act I of the same playbook. And most of the audience is still seated.

Trump didn’t symbolically cover Justice’s statues—he literally draped them while calling the press criminals. Like Nazis shutting down critical papers, he’s attacking truth as treason. A convicted felon who crowns himself king is daring us to blink. So far? We are.
The Nazis claimed judges were "obstacles to the will of the people." Trump’s doing the sequel: defying rulings, deporting without trial, calling judges “crooked” and threatening impeachment. He’s not pushing legal boundaries—he’s burying them in shallow graves.
From banning Voice of America to staging TikTok deportation propaganda, this isn’t just cruelty—it’s theatre. Like 1930s Berlin, it’s spectacle designed to numb. Each violation becomes the new normal. And every day we “move on” is a step deeper into the abyss.
Germany’s fall wasn’t marked by tanks in the streets—it was the silence of institutions, the passivity of opposition. Today it’s Democrats voting for Trump’s budgets, afraid to say his name. Fascism doesn’t need jackboots if it already has your spine. AOC > Schumer
We tell ourselves “it can’t happen here” while watching it already happen here. Trump said he’d be a dictator. Not in theory—on day one. It’s day 61.
How many more before we admit this isn’t the trailer for authoritarianism—it’s the main fucking feature?
