This isn't quite right. The undermining of elections came before the crisis (Reichstag fire) and the arresting members of the legislature step to create a maga super majority with who is left was not included in your list.

Good question.

Yeah, I think we're at 6 already. #DeportPresidentMusk

And unlike Hitler, Trump isn't waiting two months for the legislature to pass an Ermächtigungsgesetz ("enabling law") giving him dictatorial powers. He's trying to create his own through executive orders. Trump views an EO as a "Führererlass" - a decree. (An EO is supposed to help carry out a law.)

He’s appointing Leni Riefenstahl to head up the FCC.

Well....thanks to the fucked up clowns who voted for the moron and those that did not vote to keep the bastard out of our world......the next four years of this shit will pretty much send this country down the freaking drain -- geez...country has done it to itself....way too many morons out there...

Trump is Hitler 2.0 and Musk is a rebirth of Hermann Göring. At least that's what my grandfather says

The person that didn't pay attention was Merrick Garland.

Hitlerism Same shit Different assholes

...or Swasti-Kar

It will be because R congress & Senate reps forfeited their power & rolled over like dogs wanting their bellies scratched. Since that first primary debate in 2015, when he called them names & refused to say he’d endorse whoever won the primary. They simply let him do it, & everything ever since.

Didn't pay attention or didn't think it would actually happen here or, worse, were just apathetic.

Like in Germany

Glad you know history!

💙🐈‍⬛🐈💙 Absolutely!

Now — here — it’s going through all the stages. More to dread.

It will happen if you don’t pay attention. Time will catch up.

A descriptive blueprint of the GOP too.

Truths Trails 💯

Or didn’t give a shit!

Malcolm Nance: National Security Emergency youtu.be/FrHFFt5VZvI?...

America is failing today, not because we’re not paying attention, but because we’re sitting back waiting for someone else to step up and save us. If we don’t save ourselves, we deserve the fate we get.

Your country has been compromised by Putin for decades and he is using Trump as an asset. They need to be stopped.

Well hell; there'll always be extremists; always has been, always will be. Just look at all the Trump worshippers here and on twitter/X. I'll just stick to facts & data, and try to keep living my life. I don't see what I have to gain my immersing myself in their drivel. (1/2)

Republicans voted in their Hitler. What do them dems do when repugs are in lock step with trump.

Wake up people.

Falling in process.

I've got an 11-page letter written in 1977 by my Germany grandmother, who raised her family in Nazi Germany. It's filled with wild conspiracy theories, stories of how Hitler provided her family loans with each child she bore, both sides-ism, and the failure of the media. Too many similarities.

I believe Step 5 is currently underway.

I wish people would stop making this silly comparison. It's just a way of saying "I really hate Trump" by comparing him to the one historical example anyone remembers. I don't think this silliness would still be happening if it weren't for Tim Snyder encouraging it with his dumb pamphlets.

Burning down the Reichstag = “creating a crisis”.

And, Hitler did it with 8 weeks of being appointed as Chancellor. The lightning attack was invented. Later known as the Blitzkrieg.

And he broke his government in 53 days

Orange dictator is moving fast, he might beat Hitler’s 53 days

We didn't pay attention to prevent 9/11. Nor the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. Nor Trump's responsibility for the January 6 insurrection by Merrick when it mattered in the winter of 2021.

I think you can rephrase "If America falls it will be" to "America is falling" - congratulations, you have successfully got your 1933 moment, and the only power left in the world that could help you out of it is your own people. They are not moving anywhere fast enough...

I think they are paying attention, they just don't care

We’re probably at the point where we need to start contacting our own elected officials, not to demand they fight, but to threaten that we are going to primary them with good strong progressives.

And more than a 3rd who couldn't be bothered to vote, they also elected Trump

Hitler also seized power because weak, coward individuals like the GOP, allowed him to murder millions of our Jewish brothers and sisters. Hitler was delusional just like Trumps and his cronies. SSA doesn’t discriminate if your Red or Blue. The checks will be cut across the board! Wake up! 🇺🇸

And since Trump is not smart and does not know history, who is whispering in his ear?

Exactly this. I'm hoping we can help educate people on how it happened and what to expect if it continues to follow the same trend. This is what I've found and it's not good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA_u...

There is only so much a retired mailman, with arthritis head to toe, can do about the results of an election that anyone with a lick of sense wouldn't have voted for that feces flinging orange orangutan.

Also let’s not forget the big Neville Chamberlain energy that the neoliberals have been bringing for the last 9 years

i think it’s it’s even scarier than that: seems like people ARE paying attention, but they just don’t give a shit. it’s just something else to doomscroll while waiting for your latte

Trump has done the same thing here. Maga'ts fall in line.

How many times does history have to repeat itself before people pay attention?

Get the support of the wealthy

I see a Reichstag fire in the offing. Since the Great Depression was also instrumental in the rise of the Nazis, I can see the Republican machinations to tank the economy (and increase the likelihood of war) as a means to justify even more extreme authoritarianism.

Exactly and America is full of morons not paying attention.

And the folks who bought into the fear the Republicans keep selling.

Sadly over 6 million Democrats did not pay attention in November and that's why we are about to live our own Horror in America because it hasn't even started yet. Thanks for nothing guys.

Yathink Adolph Hitler was enabled by those already in power eager to take advantage of his popularity. Hitler promised to make Germany great again, returning to traditional German values, achieving full employment, and destroying 'enemies'. (Sound Familiar) encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

We’re paying frickin attention! It just doesnt seem like anyone can DO anything about it🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

And, Biden.

Exactly

Elon is now literally extorting Ukraine! 🤖😈Give us your minerals or I will cut Starlink.🤖😈 Ask your legislators how being a mafioso makes America great. 🏛️ tinyurl.com/us-legislators 🏛️ Check out @spotlightondoge.bsky.social . Fighting the DOGE Digital Blitzkrieg

Fk that.

With a state full of guns I would hate to be in America when the rule of law breaks down. And it's close 🥺

Musk would be busier than ever procreating/"launching rockets", and lining his pockets with government money.

I did, I saw it in history. No one listened.

Funny how it is always Republicans. Stop acting like this only just started under Trump. That is the biggest lie the right is pushing yet, and some Dems are stupid enough to help push that lie. Conservofascism started under Reagan!

And cowardice of those who could have done something.

And cowardice of those who could have done something.

All that's left is declaring a state of emergency

We need a plan. MAGA has 2 years to scrub voter rolls, install unworkable voter ID laws and set up “review boards” to certify results. If future US elections are to mean anything an enormous effort will be required to protect legitimacy. Project 2025 turns the US into a white nationalist oligarchy

If the US Marshals still enforce any decisions made by the courts we will be okay. if they wont follow judges we will all be screwed.

This is why revolution happens...

There was a little something about raging inflation in there too.

It's the exact recipe being used by Trump.

Your rule of law has already fallen, you are sending people to concentration camps, America is dead but doesn’t know it yet

I said this today... he is going in record time, the difference is the world wide web.

I feel he’s trying to do a south korea coup and declare military law

It is my belief that the MAGA cult is comprised of men who suffer from SPS (Small Penis Syndrome) and the women who love them. This is serious. Studies should be conducted.
