A human being was found dead in an #ICE concentration camp shower (sounds familiar?).

The man died by hanging. His hands and feet had been hogtied.

'Clearest case of death by suicide I have ever seen' said Kristi "Puppy-Killer" Noem, ICE Barbie at #Trump's #DHS

In the early 1930's in Germany, before Hitler had consolidated absolute power, the SS took control of prison camps, which then following, reportedly had a high number of inmate deaths. These were apparently from suicide or escape attempts. An investigator visited the camp, and saw inconsistencies, such as rope burns on arms and necks. He also noted that every death was a political adversary to Hitler and Jewish.
He faced immense pressure from above to rule the deaths suicide or accidental, but instead decided to present the compiled evidence and rule it murderer. He ended up in a concentration camp himself and died. But, the evidence and report he had filed was ultimately used at the Nuremberg Trials to convict senior Nazis.

It's a major problem when one compares the Trump regime to the original Nazis.

Convening the Nuremberg Trials relied on political will from the Allies, notably the USA, which eventually decided to fight Hitler's regime (after Adolf declared war on America!)

Who will be our 7th Cavalry riding over the hill to save us from Trump and prosecute him and his minions?

@PhilipCJames This is a new and different situation, but it is those same patterns - and I feel highlighting those same comparable patterns is necessary to stopping it.
We live in a very different world today, where the solution is going to be different. Nobody is coming to save the American people, and it is every American's responsibility and duty to save themselves.
I'm British, and we are just a few years away from being taken over, depending on what happens in the US. In fact, the fate of the rest of world absolutely relies on what direction the USA ultimately goes in.
We are in a global conflict, which could very well already be WWIII in the history books. But, the world is now a global network in our modern age, and that network is the front line of this conflict. Information is the main weapon, and infrastructure is the targets.
If anything, the Trump regime being too much like the Nazi's will likely be a big part of it's downfall, because they don't seem to be able to adapt. They seem to be one step ahead, but when that step is blocked, it's like they have no contingency around it. Project 25 is very 2 dimensional and just follows those same aged old patterns. That's why it is comparable - and why it can be intelligently resisted.

@PhilipCJames @shye WE will be the cavalry. This will be a long and difficult, grinding mess, but there are worse things.

Dying on your feet on the field of battle is far preferable to dying on your knees in a concentration camp "shower." Seems this has already started.

Also remember war is war. Either side can win. Always both sides predict victory before it starts.

Both resources and resourcefullness count. Motivation and resolve are often the real key. If this goes to a guerilla war, the US ruling class's resources turn into a vulnerability as they must protect them but cannot use things like carpet bombing against us without hitting themselves.

If we win, Nuremburg II is almost certainly next. The harder the time we have the worse it will go for the Nazis. People will remember their fallen comrades, friends and partners and their neighbors who disappeared in the night. They will want revenge and victor's justice it shall be. Hopefully the trials and sentences will deter a 3ed war started by Nazis for at least a few generations.

If we lose, the consequences will be the same as if we don't fight at all: a wipeout.

A note on Project 2025: They took a hell of a lot of pages to say just 14 words. Hopefully they will waste their fuel and munitions on the battlefield as much as they wasted words and paper on that long screed.
