If you don't know what happened in Germany then you really need to do your research right now. What happened there is happening here. The playbook that was run then is being re-used. It's not new.

And as always, the weak links are terminally aggrieved white men and the white women who align with them.
Especially vulnerable to this playbook: men who identify as "incels" - a toxic cesspool of grievance, they're being very actively targeted and recruited

I’ve always been fascinated by that era, and studied it a lot throughout my grade school and college years. I long ago recognized the demon that was growing right in front of our eyes. A friend at work once called what Rethuglicans were doing, communism (1)

I told that wasn’t, it was the other one, the enemy we had forgotten, FASCISM! And if he didn’t know what it meant, think Adolf Hitler! America has always had more in common with Nazi Germany than anyone cared to admit. With its treatment of Native Americans & Black People (2)

How could it be otherwise? America has long been the land where people bury their less convenient histories. A mindset like that does not encourage memory.

It also didn't help that the Weimar Republic was a rickety government that was ad hoc assembled after the Kaiser's fall. Or that they were paying heavy reparations for WWI. Or that revenge for their WWI defeat burned at the back of too many Germans' minds.

In advanced studies class in HS (yes that’s right HS) I spent a term studying how Hitler came to power. “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” required reading. People need to wake up now. Why do you think there is a faction that is against “woke”? Educate yourselves b4 we pass a point of no return.

Meanwhile, Americans are blindly walking into another Trump presidency due to complacency or indifference to Biden's phenomenal accomplishments & hostility over his age, FFS.
This article indicates more Americans would be upset by another Biden term than another Trump term.

As it's coming from WaPo, take it with a shaker of salt. Remember that these people use outrage clickbait to feed the despair junkies. It's the only way they can see heading off a lot of layoffs like what hit their industry in the early 2010s.

well, what's happening here is the media is not amplifying Biden's accomplishments like it would have years ago. We've got stuff like this, attempting to cast aspersions and make him look bad. We've also got a bunch of manipulative polling that claims to speak for everyone. Remember elections 2022.
