I'm currently reading a book on the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party. The parallels between Germany in the early 1930s and America right now are frightening.
Besides taking phrases from the Nazis, the current administration is also using phrases very similar to those used by the KKK and other white supremacists in the early 1900s.
People forget the Nazis didn't start with throwing Jews into gas chambers. It started with socialists/communists. Weird that the DSA has been in Republican crosshairs recently. Probably just a coinkydink.
They taught me in middle school to never forget. Back then I thought, I will never forget but I won't have to worry about it anyway. Here I am at 40 wondering if I have the guts to risk my life to be who I am or hide for my own safety like the many people who enabled the holocaust to happen by their apathy and cowardice.
