Adolf Hitler's rise to power was marked by early warning signs that went ignored. Politicians dismissed the alarm bells and institutions believed the system would restrain what was coming. History shows clearly just how wrong those assumptions were. Now, as Trump and MAGA test the limits of our democracy, history is beginning to rhyme. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/perfect-storm-trump-nazi-germany

Too bad it's on Substack. Many won't read it for that reason. Substack welcomes Nazis, so there's some irony going on here.

@Bette @georgetakei one of the reasons Hitler was able to take over despite not being a majority is that the opposition failed at building alliances and working together via coalition building. We anti-fascists need to focus on coalition building with people we normally argue with, when they share the value of democracy and rights and rule of, by, and for the people.
