But yet, the Conservatives can’t see themselves as the new Nazi’s, even though the rest of us can. Maybe if they stopped acting like Nazi’s and talking like Nazi’s we would believe them.
“…And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.”
Im not sure what it's going to take for the Left to realize - this is exactly what the right wanted. They embrace fascism. They feel this is the way. They want to go back to the time they felt secure-the 1950s.
This does not scare or horrify them, it reassures them they voted for the right people.
I hope she'll not end up in the gas chamber if caught. And does this apply to all latinas? Is she hiding for being Latina or illegal? Freaking stop comparing Anne Frank to the stupid and cruel Trump policies.
When the policies of trump are similar to A.H.'s, why can't we compare them? Are they not both stupid & cruel? Are they both targeting minorities & promoting extreme nationalism? Are they both expansionist? Just because 1 gassed ppl, among others atrocities, doesn't disqualify current comparisons
We are struggling with it here in Denmark, and honesyly, I'm very certain our education on the early signs far surpasses the American. We should been far more vocal earlier but too many took another slice of pie instead.
it's also the utmost disbelief in many: "surely this can't be happening again." "people hate fascism and nazis". It is happening again. Right in front of our eyes.
Trumpet and his dad (1960s) were sued for refusing to let non-white people live in apartments or condos based on civil rights violations. So now, in 2025, he takes revenge on L.B.J.
I can’t get over the fact that people ignored the fact that Trump’s former Chief of Staff, John Kelly, said that Trump was a Fascist. I’m old enough to remember that being called a Fascist was a bad thing.
I'm pretty far left but I'm perfectly fine with him deporting all criminal migrants. Don't come here and start breaking laws! Of course that also means I think Elon and Melania need to be deported.
I never imagined history such as this could permeate into OUR DEMOCRACY. Now, so concerned about losing it. This is not a test (that was 4 years ago). Felon47 and his anti democratic team are serious and prepared now. Congress, Supreme Court, where are you?
Man, I got to the last line and just shuddered. I thought maybe this was a news story from today and then I saw Anne Frank's name. Just sends the message home like a bullet to the heart!
All of my family that had not already fled to the US was destroyed by the Nazis. I have grown up with these nightmares. I wish I could drag musk out into the woods and do to him what female resistance workers did to the Nazis. What a pity that I’m too old to be convincing as a seductress🤬
My mother's family fled to Mexico. My daughter did a highschool assignment looking at the Holocaust database and was amazed at how many people with our family names were in the database. My mother was lucky that her family was able to flee.
I disagree. We know a lot, we're just not ready.
Truthfully this isn't even the first inning. It's going to be a marathon, not a sprint. Why shoot off everything everywhere all at once two years before the midterms? Maybe the best thing for now is delay and deny, use the courts to slow things down.
The courts do seem to be the route to take at this time - although we have seen what a compromised court can do. However if we had truly learned from history some haste might have been taken to charge and convict an insurrectionist before he returned to power. So we know a lot, but its not helping.
I agree, the courts are a mess. I don't see them as more than delaying things or softening the worst of it, for a while. You need to call Merrick Garland to discuss your concerns about his lack of effort in that regard.
A god has nothing to do with it. It's more like not being able to get of the couch and vote and refusing to see facts, that is the reason here. And when they take the neighbor, you still call on god and just turn the tv up? When they take your family? All the information there and no reaction.
Lady, God is our creator ofcourse he has everything to do with anything. What’s wrong with you?? Well I definitely vote. They won’t take my neighbors Bc I live among Republicans whom get off their rockers etc to vote for Trump n that’s why we lost Bc our Democrats did not vote for a Harris a woman!
So, for the many ignorant. Anne Frank hid for being a Jew. The current cruel Trump policies apply to illegal immigrants. Not ethnic minorities. Your arguments cause inflation! So, so much traffic yesterday. It was worse than what happened to the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
And biting my tongue. Far from ignorant & arguments are not causing inflation, 🍊🤡 policies are. Supply & demand is a powerful inflation force. I live in a state where agriculture workers are not showing up now due to possibility of ICE raids, so crops, your food sources, are dying on the vines.
Well they scooped up an American vet recently with no question asked; they don’t care about the rules or laws that the rest of us follow. They have made that abundantly clear. And unless your skin is lily white, you’re extremely wealthy, and/or you’re easy to manipulate, they are dangerous. Period.
"Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street."
-- Joseph Goebbels
The nazis knew. This cuts both ways. I saw the left take over the streets in the 60s and 70s and it needs to happen again
Maga has been telling 'civil war' for 4 years. Now I see it. That's the only way to remove a DICTATOR, like the illegitimate 'president' tRump. (Jan 19 he admitted musk manipulated our elections. A successful coup from the coup leader)
What if a whole bunch of us showed up at workplaces (crowds) to back them?
I mean huge crowds, it only needs to be brief.
It would terrify those who spent millions on ad campaigns that convinced so many to hate & fear them. It would defeat them.
And now parents are going to pick up their children at elementary school only to find ICE, or the Secret Service has kidnapped their 11 year old.
There's nothing like the Gestapo coming for your kids.
By now we should be facing the fact that rather than failing to recognise they are repeating history, some of them are actively choosing to do it because they believe it was a great idea in the first place 😐
How do we combat that?
If you're comparinng Anne Frank to what is being done to immigrants in the US today, that's a gross false equivalency. Anne Frank died bald, emaciated and shivering in Bergen-Belsen when she was 15. As bad as what Trump is doing is, immigrants are not being sent to death camps to be burned in ovens.
How can we fight back to stop the fascism?
We will be Unrecognizable as a country in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
This makes me cry knowing our friends and members of our community are suffering immensely.
Stephen has lived for this period to happen since he was old enough to hate.
After his folks taught him that, they sent him to school.
There he had to take classes with children whose great-
grandparents owned the land on which the school was built.
The nazis used deportation as one of their first tool to rid 'their' nation of undesirables, but it was costly and required a lot of manpower. It did bring-in revenue when the homes and assets of the deportees were seized, as for the poor, they went straight to the camps.

Very important message from the past. Everyone needs to know about this.
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

I’ve looked through her diary and this quote does not appear.
It’s important that we verify and source info, both good and bad on this platform.
Here’s one resource.

The people that want to forget history, only want to recommit the crimes of the past.

Do NOT comply
Do NOT fear
Do NOT surrender or agree with their hatred and plans
Do NOT believe their lies
this IS happening NOW

We CAN fight back.
MLK Jr's way works ✌️

There he had to take classes with children whose great-

He hates Mexicans. Class dismissed
