This is from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Just thought I'd post it here for no particular or current reason.

@augieray It's unfortunately no longer 'early signs' - it's the smack middle of it by now.

What is happening in the USA is straight from the playbook of Russia and China. Heavy government censorship and encouraged persecution of political belief, while random people are being rounded up by masked police forces in the streets due to nothing but skin color.

I wonder how long Europe can hold on, with the similar trends in multiple of our countries as well. It's going to be a dark, dark period.

@svelmoe @augieray and a majority of USA citizen voted for that. Unbelievable but that really happened. Everyone knew that before or was blinded by hatred, nationalism and or fear.

@SomeAnoTooter @svelmoe @augieray Trump won 77,302,580 votes, or 49.8% of the total, per the official tally. Democrat Kamala Harris, other candidates, write-ins and “none” took the other 50.2%, or 77,935,722 votes -- more than half a million more votes than Trump.

@DebErupts @svelmoe @augieray "none" is accepting the result, which was Trump in this case, so, at least imho, "none" should count for the majority, or at least with the same percent the rest voted, so, trump was voted in with the majority.
Sure not all, but a lot more could have voted against him and his fascist buddies with the open plan to destroy what was left of democracy and freedom in the USA.

@SomeAnoTooter Unfortunately, many leftists refused to vote for Harris because she wasn't ideologically pure enough. Frustrates the hell out of me - they did exactly what the fash wanted - but it wasn't because they're fascists. For what good that does 😒

@earthtoneone where does this info come? Only online text from unknown people propagating this or some more facts? I think this was a tactic to push trump and it might have worked a bit but not that much. The left isn't as divided as dictators like to have it and present it.

@SomeAnoTooter I heard it from a few people I knew in real life, and they were not interested in discussion. They saw it as a strong moral stance, that they could not endorse her bc of Gaza... as if the alternative weren't a hundred times worse.

@SomeAnoTooter But yes, they were probably not the majority. Most folks probably fall into "both sides same" or "I'm not sure so I'll sit this one out" or "my vote doesn't matter anyway". It's infuriating, but also that's exactly what propaganda campaigns were designed to do. On the far right, wild conspiracy theories work great. Everyone else, you just need them feeling powerless or uncertain so they don't act.
