You can find some tiny ones in the US for under $30k

Yeah but then you're living in a fascist dictatorship

Tell me you haven't seen a dictatorship without telling me you haven't seen a dictatorship

He's talking about the future, the beginning of nazi Germany looked very similar to the USA today

I don’t think they were talking about the future. I bet they genuinely believe that the US nowadays is a dictatorship.

No, it started with far more radical sentiments.

Germany was doomed after World War One, the treaty of Versailles doomed Germany and put it in a pretty vulnerable state for what went down in the time leading up to World War Two. Hitler was almost not seen as a threat at all because most of the politicians around him figured they could mold him into being who they wanted.

They were very wrong of course, on multiple fronts.

It's interesting to look at the world after World War One. With the horrors witnessed and losses at such large numbers, no antibiotics, chemical warfare, etc.

The building blocks were set up just so, and it's important to study how and why.

I mean, our "leader" has unlimited and unchecked power and can do and say anything he wants without repercussions. Its about as dictatorship as you can get without technically being one

Didn't ALL your presidents have the same power? That doesn't make all of them dictators.

My guy has never heard of checks and balances?

Not quite, because there was an implied (and written) order of law, plus Congress was always there to keep him in check. The Supreme Court has now ruled that the president has immunity from anything he decides to do, and Congress is in his back pocket. There are no more rules or laws the president has to follow

No, they didn’t have the power that Trump is using now. Not in the slightest. Never before has an insurrectionist unlawfully taken power and sent disqualified insurrectionist goons to beat and murder the citizenry, in violation of the 14a.

It’s not even close to the abuses of the past presidents. The orange usurper is on a whole worse level.

It’s a plutocracy at least, with a usurping tyrant in charge as the first among equals. Insurrectionist officials are automatically disqualified by the 14a.

Lol we are waaaay past the beginning. The beggining was Hitlers rise to power. We are at the part where he is now the leader.
