If history doesn't exactly repeat itself, today it certainly rhymes.

Wow, heavy duty reminder. What's happening is worse than we really want to acknowledge

[u/SalmonPrince → u/un-tv_star]

We are in the early stages of a very bad thing. The midterms are critical. So critical that Trump will do what he can to cancel, rig, or discredit them. He knows everything hinges on having complete control of all three branches. We have to fuck his shit up in November, people.

[u/un-tv_star → u/SalmonPrince]

I agree and worry alot about all that he/they will do to destroy the legitimacy of the election

[u/OtherwisePrivate → u/un-tv_star]

If democrats fail to gain control and take serious action in November we are F'd. Gas prices will remain at record highs raising the price of everything. Food will become scarce as farmers go bankrupt. By end of 2027 there will be riots. Martial law will be declared postponing elections indefinitely. At that point we either march quietly into dictatorship or brake out in civil war.

Edit to fix autocorrect.

[u/un-tv_star → u/OtherwisePrivate]

I wish I could say you're wrong

[u/Last_Cod_998 → u/SalmonPrince]

I use this quote unattributed in forums as a Godwin check. Those sympathetic to fascism are always the first to speak up. It's sad really, but that's how it happens.

[u/Allthemuffinswow → u/un-tv_star]

It was All spelled out, the first time he ran. Legit, anyone who studied history could play connect the dots between the Nazi rise to power before WW2 and the Cheeto's first campaign. I remember being a part of the back and forth debates about it here on some of the different subreddits and so, So many people were saying Nnaaahhhhh, that would never happen.

And now, look where we are. Just like some of us said where this was headed, if that puppet was allowed to weasel his way in, with the scum in tow.

[u/Dragon_wryter]

They think because they're not going after Jews, that means they're not Nazis. Even if they do the exact same things, have the same philosophies, same values, same procedures, etc...but they're going after Mexicans so it can't possibly be Nazism!!

[u/GravitasFailures → u/Dragon_wryter]

You don’t understand.

They’re not going after Jews YET.

First it’s immigrants, then black people, THEN Jews.

You have to do them in order or it doesn’t work.

[u/Pixelbuttzz → u/GravitasFailures]

Don't forget trans folks and socialists, they seem very attached to that Nazi Playbook

[u/GravitasFailures → u/Pixelbuttzz]

Actually you’re completely wrong here.

The Nazis copied their playbook from our south, the Nuremberg racial laws were copied verbatim from Jim Crow codes.

Hitler spoke of the greatness of the Jim Crow south as a model for Germany to follow in Mein Kampf.

[u/chiclets5 → u/Pixelbuttzz]

And then the old people who are living off the government dole by collecting their social security. 'They can't work anymore so they're not worth keeping aroundc

[u/TopazWarrior1999 → u/GravitasFailures]

Why would they go after jews when Israel is the one controlling them?

[u/Pixelbuttzz → u/TopazWarrior1999]

The Israeli project thrives on anti-semitism... they like the idea of Jewish people not feeling safe other places and fleeing to Israel so they don't mind the fact that America has a rising anti-Semitism problem.

[u/GravitasFailures → u/TopazWarrior1999]

You’re joking right?

The whole reason they support Israel so hard is because in their Christian fanfic Jesus wants them to gather all the Jews in Israel so when he comes back he will take the good christians onto his spaceship (ahem, yes, spaceship) and give them a front row seat for when he nukes the Jews in revenge for crucifying him (all the logical inconsistencies in that sentence are obvious I hope).

That’s what they consider The Rapture.

They think they’re using Israel.

[u/Tyrgalon → u/Dragon_wryter]

Because its not really nazism, its bog standard fascism.

[u/SalmonPrince]

But Trump is nothing like Hitler, says the naz--I mean MAGAts.

[u/GravitasFailures → u/SalmonPrince]

Of course they do.

Nazis copied their Nuremberg racial policies from the Jim Crow south (ie MAGA core). Hitler loved them and spoke of them as a model for Germany to follow in Mein Kampf.

[u/Candid_Lobster_6533]

The holocaust started as a mass deportation effort.

[u/Dragon_wryter → u/Candid_Lobster_6533]

Yep they literally told the Jews to just follow the laws and they'd be fine. Just register as a Jew. Just wear the star. Just live only in certain parts of town. Just get on the train.

[u/SirBananaOrngeCumber → u/Candid_Lobster_6533]

My ancestors, fully German citizens, escaped the Holocaust because a few years before they took a few weeks vacation and when they came back to Germany the police showed up on their doorstep and essentially told them “you should have stayed away” with all the subtlety of ICE agents. So they got the hint and ran. I am honestly terrified watching it happen again in America

[u/GravitasFailures → u/Candid_Lobster_6533]

Algemeine SS was originally formed to round up immigrants and put them into camps.

Their role expanded from there.

[u/Internal-Plantain-56 → u/Candid_Lobster_6533]

They also went after the trans population as well.

[u/DonnyMox]

VOTE BLUE!

All the way!!!!!!!!! ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️

[u/mauvais → u/DonnyMox]

And hope it still matters…

[u/Time-Valuable-3355]

It's 2026... 17 years till their 100 anniversary... Not like it seems history is repeating...

[u/Nowhoedup]

Trump and Hitler do have a lot of similarities.

[u/Extreme-Slice-1010 → u/Nowhoedup]

Yeah but Trump’s up it a bit by being a pedophile

[u/FighterOfEntropy → u/Extreme-Slice-1010]

Hitler had a creepy relationship with his niece (who was an adult but younger than him.)

[u/AmericanCitizenry → u/FighterOfEntropy]

HITLER'S GFs mysteriously died

[u/chiclets5 → u/Nowhoedup]

[u/dborz]

And yet Trump

[u/ParticularMemory789]

Who saw the SCOTUS ruling about third party deportations? Even if someone has never been to that country they can be sent there if for example they say they're afraid to go back to where they came from.

[u/Inevitable-Emu-6626]

Hey, that tune seems familiar. Which means the worst is yet to come.

[u/Speed_102]

Only now, they go after the children in schools too.

[u/Practical-Anybody-58]

Ok like everyone does hate the current administration unless you’re brain dented, but straight up saying “it’s the same as the Holocaust” “it’s worse than concentration camps” “they’re literal nazis” (all things you repeatedly see) is low key extremely obnoxious, stupid, and shows you have 0 understanding of what happened in history. Its like if someone killed my kids and my entire extended family and my neighbor tried to kill relate to me by saying he stubbed his toe. Once again for the mongoloids, yes trump bad, but the scale of death and horror that the Holocaust and nazis were and casually saying it’s the same is the very reason why democrats lost so many middle ground votes….

[u/Red-dragon9]

This really hits hard!
