Are we 1940s Germany?
We have Nazis and Nazi-lite -> MAGA We have brown shirts -> ICE. We are blaming immigrants and believing white people are somehow superior. Now we just invaded a country, and say we will invade others. What’s happening here… It feels strange. Is anyone else seeing this?
No you’re America.
The Germans in 1940 didn’t have the lens of history to view the events through, they couldn’t necessarily have predicted the path they were on.
America in 2026? Everyone with working senses warned you loud and clear for years that this is exactly what happens if he ended up in the white house again instead of prison.
Most of you didn’t listen.
The fascists even published the plan in black and white before the election
It was bafflingly also largely dismissed
America is much worse now because you all know where this train ends and you’re all letting the driver get on with it
Fair observation, but conversely, this particular kind of populism very much started with the 20th century fascists, it’s uncanny how similarly it’s going now.
Especially in terms of what people would be taught and expected to know about; I think you’d struggle to find anyone in the developed world who doesn’t know at least the basics about WW2.
