At this point the parallels are too much to ignore.
Both Nazism and Trumpism are CULT's of personality. Followers uncritically proclaim Trump their god just like Hitler. Blaming groups of people(Media/Democrats/Liberals/Immigrants) for the problems.
The groups being blamed are all powerful and controlling everything behind the scenes while also being weak/stupid/impure.(Deep state/Democrats/Liberals/Immigrants)
The Trumpists are now using violence against their political opponents just like the SA and SS in 1930's Germany.
Quote
After January 30, 1933, Hitler’s coalition government acted to effectively give Nazi paramilitary units control of the German streets. The SA, which had dramatically increased in size with Nazi electoral success, numbering some 3 million members by mid-1934, disrupted or shut down Leftist assemblies and protests, often with police support. In mid-February, Hermann Göring, the newly named Prussian Minister of the Interior, ordered the police not to hinder SA and SS actions, but to help them. Shortly thereafter, he created an auxiliary police force out of these two Nazi orders. As a result, their violent actions were given state sanction. Within days of the Reichstag Fire, and the resulting presidential decree for the Protection of the People and State (February 28), the SA and SS escalated the violence against Nazi political opponents. Thousands of Communists and Social Democrats were arrested and jailed. In March—April 1933, an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 political foes were taken into “protective custody” (Schutzhaft) and imprisoned in concentration camps. The SA and SS routinely beat up and tortured political opponents and vandalized, looted, or destroyed leftist parties’ offices. Sometimes, individuals were murdered.
The American Fascists(Trumpists) have escalated things just like the SA and SS in 1930's Germany, blaming their political opponents at every turn and using violence and fear to intimidate. They are trying to create an authoritarian regime and kill democracy just like in the Weimar Republic.
What are sane, rational American's to do?
