Adolf Hitler's rise to power was marked by early warning signs that went ignored. Politicians dismissed the alarm bells and institutions believed the system would restrain what was coming. History shows clearly just how wrong those assumptions were. Now, as Trump and MAGA test the limits of our democracy, history is beginning to rhyme. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/perfect-storm-trump-nazi-germany
@georgetakei Uncle George, the rhyme has been a canticle in time. It's in our DNA. Thankfully, I have more going on in my DNA...a change.

@georgetakei this should be required reading for everyone who thinks "just wait for the midterm elections".
You can't just "vote harder". That is far too little, far too late. Despite what polls say the Victory of the Sane is far from inevitable, much less if they can affect change of they do win.
The guardrails have collapsed and the postwar world order of soft power and "rule of law" has ruptured. The US is *already* led by a fascist regime operating by "rule of might". Everyone must act accordingly.

@georgetakei The only bad thing about the article that it speaks about months, when it had been closer to weeks. It took only 6 weeks from Hitler getting appointed (not elected!) as chancellor to the first murders in Dachau concentration camp. And merely days, until the military was instructed to prepare for war.
Maybe it proves that Trump lacks the focus and drive of Hitler. But they share the same evil.

@georgetakei It is the same as self-interest, fear, lickspittleness and willful blindness allow people to ignore what the coming despot has clearly stated and indicated (by the way I think I invented a new word)

How can the US learn if they are salivating with lust to become 1930's Germany? answer, they won't and they don't.

@georgetakei Majority of US people don't care if that don't touch them.
What us people that care crie now is something minority told for years already.
i'm skeptical that US will prevent anything, if you don't destroy your own economy to force them reverse action nothing will change.
And us people will never do that.

Too bad it's on Substack. Many won't read it for that reason. Substack welcomes Nazis, so there's some irony going on here.

Mark Twain never said or wrote that quote attributed to him in the article. Neither did Samuel Clemens.
However Canadian poet John Robert Colombo actually did.

Many elected Dems seem to think it’s business as usual. That somehow nothing has changed since 2024

@georgetakei 14 signs of fascism and Trump nailed them all at least a year ago. For anyone paying attention, the signs were obvious during his first term. Certainly by the publication of the Project 2025 playbook, the alarms were going off, and still our nation elected him. Only his total incompetence is saving us because our the other two branches have refused to do their duty.

Fully correct and I have the feeling that only few people know how incredibly fast the takeover was.

#FascistsGonnaFascist in #Trumpistan.
Americans don't understand (or appreciate) history and are therefore doomed to repeat it. War is coming. @georgetakei -

@mad @georgetakei Yes, also they underestimate how strong the opposition against Hitler was before he controlled the government. Just a week before, there were hundred thousands of protesters on the streets. Afterwards, the people got arrested before they could organize, only the big churches remained a small threat.

If I would not have seen it in a historical reportage, I would not have believed it.

@georgetakei "That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach."
