Both MAGA/Trump and pre-Holocaust Nazi Germany employed populist rhetoric and political strategies during economic uncertainty. However, the historical context, outcomes, and political systems differ greatly. Caution and sensitivity are essential in such comparisons.

umaija.bsky.social•90 days ago

Trump is the new Hitler. He is the antichrist of our times. We must stop him from doing more damage to the world. Everybody has a role to play in this lifetime.

rosietea-4.bsky.social•90 days ago

I copied and pasted your comment to FB. Hope that’s okay. I have been off all Meta, but have posted 3 times today to get people moving in this fight

dawgforua1980.bsky.social•90 days ago

I told my Senators since I don't see you speaking out, my only logical assumption is that you are supportive of what First Felon and Muskrat are doing.

With respect, I don’t call myself a “resistor”

This is #America and I possess inalienable rights.

I am an #INSISTOR!

Help us pass a BAN on billionaire-backed bans that aim to make us forget our rights and go along with their ideas about how we should live.🗽

We were talking about that last night.. what point in this nightmare timeline would be where our future grandchildren will point out .. there they should have acted then! In other words NOW! We need to Act NOW!

bmeyer60.bsky.social•90 days ago

Who would have thought "Red Dawn" would be pulled off by our own politicians ...maybe it's time for a "Red Wedding?"

joey.theblacklegion.org•90 days ago

It’s very easy now to see how Nazis came into power so easily and held onto power after seeing so many Americans and institutions roll over for Trump.

ebs02.bsky.social•90 days ago

Appreciate the sentiment but this is not helpful. Holland was under German occupation, very different situation. I think better analogy would be “what would you have done after Kristallnacht”. Sorry to be pedantic but details matter with something this sacred.

I remember, and long endorsed, the last line of the book: “I still believe people are basically good”. I don’t believe that anymore. 😖

keebl3r.bsky.social•90 days ago

Crazy that the rural county in Missouri that made me read that book voted 80.1% for Trump.

This exactly. The “rhetoric“ (a word I hate) from all the big accounts say organize!, mobilize!, remain involved….
This girl’s reply sums it up.

totally. i want to help i just don’t know how. plus, i was like 11 when i read ‘the diary of anne frank’ and i wasn’t thinking about how i would stop the nazis, i was thinking about how i would hide and be quiet.

georgsauerwein.bsky.social•90 days ago

1) Find groups to work with, don't fight alone. The fight will be long and needs solidarity and allies. 2) Find a topic close to your heart and damaging to the fascists and concentrate on it. You cannot fight all fights at onces. 3) Support others that do the other topics.

jimclausen.bsky.social•90 days ago

Heard the NPR piece yesterday about Missouri abortion care access slowly ramping up. I know you were part of that win last November.
Congratulations!

elrayjackson49.bsky.social•90 days ago

I would have shot Hitler in the face.

mediocrecoder.bsky.social•90 days ago

Germany didn’t start by throwing people in camps - they started with the same things the US has always done. The same things that most white Americans have been cool with.
With demographic shift and someone willing to take advantage of it - here we are.

mediocrecoder.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yes I remember- it was around the
time I lived in a redlined area where a cop shoved a gun in my teenaged brother’s face when they caught him in a white neighborhood and a Dr tried get my mom to opt for sterilization and the random sweeps picking up black men

mediocrecoder.bsky.social•90 days ago

Idk, a lot of my thoughts about involved killing nazis.

banallbans.bsky.social•90 days ago

One thing we can do to hit the brakes hard on #bully #billionaire #dictators is pass a NEW #constitutional #amendment that BANS bans on activities not proven to harm others!

Jess read our petition (in bio) and tell the world that ONE constitutional amendment can put an end to right-wing madness!

robinwaytogotiger.bsky.social•90 days ago

YES! We ALL need to be in the STREETS NOW! At least
make plans now to participate in our next TWO NATIONAL PROTESTS-Don't Buy Anything-Economic Boycott-Feb.28 & March 4, March Against the "Monarchy"! #Resist #BOYCOTT #Protest #MARCH

davek4591.us•90 days ago

Unfortunately, most of the people that I know are more worried about when the game starts than who won the election.

pastafariantifa.bsky.social•90 days ago

I've been talking to people in the grocery stores & have been able to convince a few to call their reps. I'm in the deep south & have embraced a Holly Hobby grunge aesthetic to signal people that I'm not okay with any of this. I am wearing pro-science, human rights, banned books, & rainbow tees.

rosietea-4.bsky.social•90 days ago

I just copied and pasted this to FB. I am pretty much off all Meta, but had to reach a lot of people. I also asked them to get the 5Calls app to contact regulators every day

tmad4.bsky.social•90 days ago

In the end, people will either say I was a patriot who stood up to GOP fascist regime or that I was an extremist radical. The only difference is our success in the longer term. Sam Adams threw the tea into the harbor for far less than what we are experiencing now.

I agree.
Sadly, you're suggesting the use of personal and political integrity. Once again but this time, sadly-America is the leader whilst the world's leaders follow highlighting only their own ethical impotency

jakesdaddio.bsky.social•90 days ago

This is America. We aren’t taught to read!!! Silly.

patriotboy2025.bsky.social•90 days ago

Hegseth is realigning the top brass as we speak. So they are onboard with the MAGA policies and are loyal to Trump. This could go down hill really fast.

dasmisystems.bsky.social•90 days ago

But if you do those things, do not talk about them here or anywhere else.

aquarius0202.bsky.social•90 days ago

What can we do?

I call my reps on a regular basis, I e-mail them, I vote, I volunteer, I march, I stop patronizing businesses that support Trump policies.....

Outside of committing an act of violence, I don't know what else to do. 🙁

angiew18.bsky.social•90 days ago

What about reaching out to businesses? I found some who supported my Republican senators/rep, using OpenSecrets. I sent emails to their businesses’ contact pages. Didn’t hear back. Not sure that did anything.

saveyxiii.bsky.social•90 days ago

I mean, you heard Trump. No crime if you are saving the country. I don't think he knows what those words even mean....

I don’t know if getting stabby is really within my capabilities now that I’m 45. But yeah…
True story: after the war my great grandma beat up a nazi neighbor who had been terrorizing their town in Luxembourg for years. I don’t know if I’m up for that either, & to be honest it’s terrifying.

grumpyzeus.bsky.social•90 days ago

I wish one fucking Democratic Senator would get on the floor and without mincing words accuse their Republican colleagues of aligning America with the murderer of Alexei Navalny and failing to display an ounce of loyalty to the Constitution.

To hell with decorum.

medievaltrek.bsky.social•90 days ago

Agreed. Decorum only works when both sides are the following the constitution. Now is the time to be loud and in their face.

marianherra.bsky.social•90 days ago

If anyone could do that, it would be Schiff.

thatcatromey.bsky.social•90 days ago

Which may be why they are pushing the idea so hard that he’s the biggest criminal ever.

marianherra.bsky.social•90 days ago

Probably. He's a treasure

lockwoodcs.bsky.social•90 days ago

I’m calling my Democratic reps everyday asking where they’re at? One of the staffers said they’re sending out emails to us. My daughter laughed at him and said the only email she cares about are the ones from Sephora. Also harassing the 3 Republican reps for Illinois.

spanishscot.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yep agree totally as a brit that twat trump needs a bullet

paul-streen.bsky.social•90 days ago

February 22nd is the anniversary of the execution of #SophieScholl.

crumbsey.bsky.social•90 days ago

It's easier to stop the Nazis during their (re-)rise to power, while the democratic constitutional structure to do just that is still in place. After the fact, it takes far more courage, and possibly one's life. I don't see that courage in the USA. Heck, even the Germans are failing again.

The Diary of Anne Frank has roughly 90,000 one star reviews on Good Reads (that is only 2% of reviews but still...)

churlayla.bsky.social•90 days ago

Attending the community theatre production of "The Diary of Anne Frank" was required for one of my hs classes.

momshieb.bsky.social•90 days ago

I was a fifth grade teacher whose class read "Number the Stars". We talked, wrote and thought about what we would do over and over. Those conversations and essays are with me now, for sure.

tweetybird1285.bsky.social•90 days ago

Weirdly I am doing it now. I knew I would never be a "front lines" type of person & that education would be a must. Speaking out against the lies & propaganda within my family/friends/community & educating the teens I work with when the subject comes up is where I fit.

tweetybird1285.bsky.social•90 days ago

All of this to say know who you are & how you can best help. If you're great at fundraising do it, you organize groups well? Get those rallies going. You're a good writer/speaker? Write/call your leaders & help others create templates so they can do the same. Everyone can bring about change.

The next time Democrats filibuster, they should read that book aloud.

When it comes to the proud boys and oath keepers, I always imagined treating them like the Nazis in Inglorious Bastards were treated.

nicolaasstulting.bsky.social•90 days ago

It is true, but when I was little, long ago, I had no clue there would ever be an EV car company stock, that basically everyone would buy, which would fuel the richest man in the world's wealth dramatically enough so that he could take over the country while he increased hate through the internet.

holly500.bsky.social•90 days ago

They'd meet late at night in basements and plan to blow up the enemie's weapons and explosives. Does anyone have 💡an idea for now.
