First, the capitol/Reichstagg will be set on fire, and radical left democrat enemies within will have to be exterminated from power. Then everything else will happen.

First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Communist.

FYI: Nazis moved from Carbon-monoxide to Zyclon-B because they utilized motors to produce the CO gas before, which disturbed the neighbors due to noise.

Nazis are the guys who complain about everything.

I’ve been saying this since last year to my family members on the other side of the political spectrum (some MAGA, some moderate), and I feel like I’ve been saying it til I get blue in the face, but it definitely feels like the MAGA wing of the Republican Party wants to go back to this era of German history ASAP.

It feels that way because it is that way.

I grew up with the whole JW things crammed down my throat before I, as a teenager, finally snapped at my abusive, alcoholic mother and told her off. My dad backed me up fortunately. I hate that cult. But I cannot condone even sending my worst enemies to a fucking concentration camp.

They should, however, be investigated and arrested on a traditional, case-by-case basis. Most of those people are just idiots who really reject modern reality because real life is hard. The point is though, you can't just paint a whole group as evil and round them up. It's important to find the ones actually doing bad things and run their lives in particular.

It should be pointed out that had the Holocaust and WWII not happened, Nazi Germany was still an unmitigated nightmare that no one but the Nazis themselves were enjoying very much. There were and are plenty of authoritarian and fascist states where genocides don't happen, but which are nevertheless hell on earth for everyone who's not a functionary of the state.

So even if you think it's hyperbole to worry about extermination camps in the US, there's absolutely nothing hyperbolic about a dystopian state coming into existence in which dissent and difference are crimes. Donald Trump and his band of dead-eyed sadists like Stephen Miller will do whatever they can in a second Trump term to bring such a state to you.

Nazi comparisons are completely justified.

Also notable is the fact that Hitler managed to gain power with only about 35 percent of the popular vote. Because regular conservatives formed a coalition with him, convinced they would be able to control and use him. Instead he used them.

Also, he then needed a false flag operation to be able to declare martial law - gaining the same kind of absolute power that the US president now has automatically thanks to the Supreme Court.

in this respect the American system is better, because everyone knows they are voting for trump, not the less evil trump supporters

That's too much, even for Jehovah's witnesses. JW's deserve their freedom just as anyone else. But I should add, there should be a law that allows one to legally hose them down with cold garden water if they come to your house to bother you. If they come and you like it, all good. But if they come and I specifically tell them never to bother me again, they better write that somewhere cuz next time they get a legal watering. It would make a lot of people get a renewed sense of home ownership lol. But I mean, the JW's could just stop pestering people.

While I share with you the sentiment, that is an odd place for such confession

Just asking for my pace to not be invaded. That's all. Also making light of something awful 😉. But that's what comedians do. I'm not a comedian but sometimes I wish I was. Then things would make more sense. Like why would the US help Israel basically pulverize Palestine? Why didn't the US instead help Ukraine by eliminating putin yet? So I can't change any of this. I can vote Democrat and I did, but there wasn't an entry on there that specifically asked "would you want us to stop arming Israel?". We got no voice in the matter.....but we got sarcasm, parody, and comedy! Neither thing is illegal yet.
