We can all sit alone with our superior point of view or we cant try to convince others and welcome them when we do. Silly self-defeating attitude. It keeps us righteously complaining.
A major difference in that time period and now is that they didn’t have social media news and information travel very slow during that time. Many of them never knew what was happening until it had already happened. There’s no excuse for people not to be involved and continuing everything’s fine.
Have several escape plans.
Make sure your passport is up to date.
Develop support networks here and abroad.
Open a foreign account while you still can.
Anticipate travel bans and border closings.
Be prepared to leave on a moment's notice.
Cool. It's the idealists that you've gotta' keep an eye on. Idealists started the war, and idealists ended the war. The realists and cynics just float along.
Well, yeah, only stupid people dawn swastikas. They literally don’t understand that by wearing it, they’re creating beef with literally everyone other than Nazis.
Sir you are a porn addicted Autistic male who convinced himself he was a woman because he failed in life. You wouldn’t be able to punch or frankly do any physical damage to anyone
If you wonder what you'd have done in 1930's AMERICA, and voted for someone approved of by AIPAC, you'd probably have voted for someone approved of by FONG/ American Bund.
Ask your political leaders what they are doing to fight this? The are paid to do their jobs. Expect them to lead protests. If they are sitting on their asses, call them out.
I agree. My opinion is that we do all of the above. Boycott, protest, call politicians, black out days (like Feb. 28), strikes, general strikes. We, the people, have the power.
Education campaign. People need to understand that both party, left and right failed them in resolving their economic anxiety. Divide and conquer strategies from history book are being replayed
What this context lacks is a clear NATIONAL prescription with a timeline & exact steps we should all take to stop this takeover. There needs to be a coalition of every group & individual against this coup to unite by the MILLIONS.
But... don't underestimate the potential for civil war.
I really hate this meme. In 1930s Germany, I’d have been trying to escape, like my father did, hiding, or most likely, in a death camp or dead. So - I am not doing that. #NeverAgain #NotToday
Oh, i meant if someone are going to stop him it probably has to be the people of USA🤔 It seems European leaders have had it with him though, not sure how this affects other republicans in the congress that European leaders no longer trust them.
Maybe it's inevitable that the unthinkable happens over and over. We human beings aren't very good at keeping our guard up. We get lazy and trust too much that what we have will continue. We take forever to wake up to how serious situations are--usually not until they affect us directly. 🤷🏻♀️
Human societies have often seen power concentrated in the hands of a few,leading to its abuse.This pattern is influenced by our tendency to form exclusive groups, or“tribes” which can foster division and conflict
Recognizing these patterns is crucial for fostering equitable and inclusive communities
I’m one of those people who’s never felt part of any tribe and can fit in comfortably anywhere. So I don’t understand being afraid of people who aren’t like us. That’s where you find so much beauty!
These things should have been done PRIOR to prevent it. My opinion is they were done here in the US. Where we failed was in remaining vigilant...the same way I believe the Weimar Republic failed. Few took the threat seriously until it happened.
But yet here we go again.
But considering the geopolitically situation, it’s much more dangerous than it was during his first term.
Also there wasn’t a totally out of control Elon in his first term.
I really hope the remaining sane American people find a way to prevent the worst case scenario.
They share some traits populism, bravado, and rallying the disgruntled, but Hitler’s a league apart in brutality and control. Trump’s a disruptor, not a dictator. Hyperbole’s the real fuel here.
Not sure if you’re trolling or really thinking the situation isn’t dire. I believe we’re racing toward an authoritarian government Multiple and most of the country seems not to notice or not to care. I hope I’m wrong.
Republicans-Their authoritarian rap comes more from behavior than policy. Democrats-They lean toward centralized authority through policy big government is their jam.
Republicans edge it lately, election denial and norm-busting (January 6, statehouse purges) feel rawer than Dems’ bureaucratic flexing. But it’s close Dems’ regulatory creep and cancel-culture ties scare libertarians just as much. Depends on your view, ig. Control freak vs. power clinger.
Trump is not a "disruptor," hes enacting a unitary executive policy platform that will dismantle the US Gov. He is doing so at the behest of several silicon valley billionaires who want a non-existent regulatory state to establish tech-feudalism. They will practice any cruelty to this end.
That's what everyone thought of Hitler first too. Trust me, they thought he was a bully, thug and stupid. Years later: millions brutally tortured, murdered. Very efficiently and bureaucratic. I'm German and my old history teacher lived in the 3 Reich. He explained very well.
I understand why you feel this. But really, nobody is gonna get murdered and tortured because of Trump. America isn't gonna become 1940s Germany. I think people need to calm down a bit. The rhetoric towards both sides is crazy.
From my grandma, told to me when i was a kid:
In her letters to my grandma, my great aunt (grandma's sister) and uncle thought Hitler was a bombastic blowhard and didn't take any of it very seriously. At first. Then the letters stopped.
You could be forgiven for thinking that Hitlers Nazi party never went away. It is looking increasingly more likely that they ran to America to escape capture and regroup.
Excellent point!! YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL. NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL! TAKE TO THE STREETS, GO TO EVERY TOWN HALL MEETING, MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!! REMEMBER: BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN GOOD PEOPLE DO NOTHING!!!!!!!!! RESIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump now fully controls all 3 branches, military, CIA, FBI, NSA and DOGE will steal everything. Marshal law. Barron will inherit the throne. No more elections. MAGA killed democracy. We’re all under surveillance. We live in Russia. Boycott everything
Just waiting to have the military, OR THE MAGAT MILITIA, round up anyone who expresses a different opinion, or flat out rejects trumprule, as DICTATED BY muskow. We should be preparing for the worst, not holding out hope for the best. No one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves.
I bet he's watching the polls go down which they are, in the right direction down! down! Maybe actually political gravity is happening where when you do something incredibly unpopular many times over and over.Going off the rails down!down! If he keeps going down this path we will take all of it away
Can you guys please advocate for actual change instead of repeating what Trump says pointing at it and laughing? What he’s doing is terrifying for a trans person like me and I want to see mainstream liberals actually taking stands against his administration and republicans not laughing at them only
Federalism, at its core, is about balancing power between a national government and states. “Radical” federalism could mean aggressively consolidating authority at the top. Like expansive federal programs, heavy regulation, or overriding state laws.
I agree 100%. This is what I've been telling people. Personally, I'm helping a friend move from the South up to New England, where their rights will be protected. I've also never been a preper, but now I'm preparing for a real civil war.
Did anyone ever think “you know if only the opposition to the Nazi’s had attacked each other more. Instead of uniting they blame each other constantly and put in their own purity tests.” Because that’s what a LOT of people are doing now and I don’t see how it could ever help us stop the fucking scum
I'm in Canada, so I'm more likely finding out what I'd do in 1930s France or England. And, yeah, I'm drinking, smoking hash, and talking about the crazy shit my Nazi neighbours are doing. Seems legit.
resisting? why yes, yes i am. i may be far away from american soil, but that does not mean i am free from the same people who are currently keeping you hostage, except ours have kept us hostage for 35 years. it is critical now more than ever that we unite in the resistance against oligarchy.
As Elon Musk’s DOGE chainsaws through federal agencies with budget and staff cuts, Tesla and SpaceX, cornerstones of his wealth, continue to benefit from public money. They probably wouldn’t have succeeded without it.
Weekends are really bad for Democracy since January 2025. When Americans leave their government jobs on Friday at 5, the wrecking crew comes in. They spend the weekend guzzling energy drinks, eating take out pizza, and inserting themselves into “protected” software!
I asked my grandparents why. They said it went so slowly. And they didn't worry too much.(Came from a small town and the information they received were propaganda and they were not in contact with the resistance). Nowadays people can get all the information and they still are ignorant to the danger!
I always wondered! I was in grade school when I read "The Diary of Anne Frank". The impact the courage some people displayed against a brutal, insane and horrific dictator has stayed with me. My true test is here now at my door. I know I will stand and fight for our precious freedom. I am 75.
Smoking weed and disassociating, nice. Boycotting too. Prime cancelled, switched my Google apps, looking at changing carriers T-mobile sold out to starlink, last Amazon purchase was in December, and last Walmart purchase was more recent. But working on alternatives.
To all who feel hopeless, weary, outraged.

You will feel the emotion of citizenship afterwards!

I’m ashamed, also afraid and embarrassed.
Also deeply saddened.
It wasn’t perfect before. And I felt shamed before
But this
Is already a disaster.
Because it’s intentional.
Spent my whole life wondering it. A late '50s baby (spare me your unresolved mommy/daddy issues). WW2 towered over us. I grew up watching Combat! Our favorite game was running around the woods "killing Krauts."
This sh*t couldn't be happening until those people with bonds forged by WW2 died off.
A 2023 study from the American Political Science Review found polarized voters increasingly see the other side as “evil,” not just wrong hence “Nazi” as a slur. Data like the World Values Survey shows U.S. trust in democracy holding (64% still back it in 2024), not collapsing into Third Reich vibes.
People make the mistake of only seeing the Holocaust when they think of Hitler. He was horribly destructive in every other dimension too. He invented Trumpism. I don't know if we will get death camps but we are getting the rest of the treatment.
what do we call the places he’s taking immigrants to like Guantanamo bay in Cuba and the jungle of Panama? I doubt those people are going to be treated with kindness. The worst part agents say they don’t know what’s their plan
I can't say you are wrong. It is pretty suspicious that the names are never released and nobody can report on what is going on. Personally, I doubt they have ovens set up, but I could be completely mistaken.
I have always thought to myself, how could that possibly have happened? Now I am seeing it before my eyes. Saddened, Frightened, ready to take action for my grandchildren.
Oh yea? What about the Beer Hall Putsch? Trump never whipped a mob into a frenzy and...oh, wait, forget that. What about consolidating power around shared hatred of a minority who...oh, forget that too. Well Trump never had a mustache!
In Nazi Germany, the population was often described as being divided into 3 groups:
1. Those who supported the regime
2. Those who opposed the regime
3. The indifferent majority – The largest portion of the population, who neither strongly supported nor opposed the Nazis but went along with it.

Anyone who feels comfortable right now either doesn't know what's happening, or wants what's happening.

We know where this road leads.
You do not want to go there.
I honestly don’t know how we Americans can stop what’s happening.

1. Seize local power—demand radical federalist policies at the state level.
2. Escalate strategically—rallies, sit-ins, blockades, strikes.
3. Stay organized—encrypted communication, decentralized actions, and persistence
2. Freeze all unnecessary spending.
3. Get your flu shots ASAP.
4. Buy arms if you don't already have them.
5. Take your name off of all social media accounts.
6. Only keep enough cash in your bank to cover weekly expenses.
7. Keep your gas tanks full
I doubt it.
It hadn’t even come out yet.
NO MORE IMPEACHING.
Its useless.
Blackhearted Republicans will block that forever.

People called me crazy for saying this. NOW the proof is here.
Everything that is happening is just Russia destroying our democracy.
Check this statement by ex-KGB agent.

Millions of Germans ACTIVELY enabled Hitler to power.
Those who tried to stop him were killed.
Stop making the real collaborators to be helpless fools.
They did it willingly.

Hook, line & then they can sink anyone they want!!!
Can anyone name something bad that Hitler did in 1933, where Trump is not currently attempting something similar?
1. Those who supported the regime
2. Those who opposed the regime
3. The indifferent majority – The largest portion of the population, who neither strongly supported nor opposed the Nazis but went along with it.
