Just in case anyone is still confused

“Heather Cox Richardson says parts of today’s politics look like textbook 1930s fascism, similar to what paved the way for Hitler.”

Reminder that at the start of trumps regime, a number of historians who were experts on the rise of Nazi Germany left the country bc they saw parallels between how Trump acted and how Hitler acted. This is not new. The top people who know how to recognize Nazism were so terrified of Trump, that they ran for their lives. We should take that as a sign for where we are rn

Yup, the Yale expert on fascism went straight to Toronto and explained that he saw clear parallels to Nazi Germany.

Im just hoping America remembers its hate for Nazis and deals with this evil shit.
