Studying about the rise of Hitler, one of the things that stands out is that he signaled everything he was going to do long before he did it. But people didn’t believe him. They thought it was just crazy, he must be joking, that that could never happen in such a strong democracy.

It took just 100 days to move from a democracy to a Nazi state. Never forget that. (U. of Illinois history professor Peter Fritzsche) Chilling.

The Victor's write the history. The US were not the victors. Bolsheviks that invaded and pillaged Russia and murdered the the Russian monarchy were. Czar Nicholas Romanov and the royal family were true Russian. Not the red army. Rasputin was ( in my theory) the grandfthr of putin

@marwilliamson “Al estudiar sobre el levantamiento de Hitler, una de las cosas destacas es que señaló todo lo que iba a hacer mucho antes de hacerlo. Pero la gente no le creyó. Pensaron que era una locura, estaba bromeando, que eso no podría suceder en una democracia tan fuerte”

Marianne, I'm not particularly well read on Hitler. But I'm the grandaughter of a holocaust survivor. I've spent time in holocaust Museums. I have some viseral understanding of the experience. Our prisons look like nazi germany. Biden had a HUGE hand in creating these camps.

Clearly many people never listened to those relationship coaches who said “When someone tells you who they are, believe them”

I’m German and I really can’t wrap my mind around this but there’s a lot of magnetism in populism, we’re seeing this now all around us. Like a tower moment.

@FrankFigliuzzi1 I have a 90-yr-old German friend who says 'I remember, everyone knew Hitler was crazy, and everyone knew he was dangerous - but they had faith that normal institutions of govt would keep him in check - and look what happened.'

MAGA called Obama the rise of Satan. We called them hysterical. Now BlueMAGA is calling Trump Hitler.
