Quote from article: Once the Nazis took power they banned books, outlawed drag shows and homosexuality, changed school curricula to remove mention of their atrocities in WWI, and rewrote election laws so they’d never again lose an election.

My thoughts: A whole bunch of people, myself included, started pointing out parallels between the Trump-era GOP and the Nazis well before he was elected. We were accused of employing hyperbole, and told to "give him a chance."

Well, just call me Cassandra ... because here we are.

Just. Like. I. Said. We. Would. Be.

@sharonecathcart Anyone who doubts the Rethuglican descent into #fascism should take a look at Umberto Eco's list of #fascist tropes. Trumpists tick pretty much all the boxes.

(Side note: Putin likewise. No wonder Trump and Putin got on so well). #trump #maga #republican
