A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck 🦆We are at a point where if the Republican leader goes on TV and instructs his followers to murder their neighbors, there will be massacres in every city and township, in many cases abetted by government officials and law enforcement, yet if anyone suggests drastic measures be taken to curb him and his party, it is they who are framed as dangerous radicals.

Widdershins Smith 🐘"When you study the Holocaust on an academic level, you learn two things: First, yes, however bad you thought the Nazis were, they were worse. And second, they were totally average, ordinary people. The second point is key. It's why historians are warning us now about Republicans."
And I think that today's Nazis in the USA and UK are further to the right than Hitler was at this stage of his rise. The Germans didn't just march in and start gassing Jews on Day 1.
