Yeah, to berate the point and annoy Rex and others of you in my long-winded fashion. The Nazis didn't just pop up out of the woodwork. The followed a time-honored model that has proven itself out a thousand times throughout society. The evil folks don't just get up on a Tuesday and announce their plans. That's never been how it works. It's in some variation of the same formula---they broadcast their intentions and nobody listens. Then they double down on the propaganda and get people to scratch their heads. They aggregate and coalesce power. They identify populations to vilify and blame. They get loyalty by having their own turn over "undesirables" to the State/Kingdom. Then they finally come for the regular people. "Here's how you've been wronged. You would have more freedom, more right to life, more sub-surface mineral rights if it weren't for these other people over here..." You don't just wake up and think Trump is a Fascist. Shit, even Trump himself doesn't even know what that means. It's a slow burn, but it's a predictable pattern. Say what you will about Trump and the National Socialist Party, they at least had the decency to lay out ahead of time their plan to maintain power. Their only glaring discernment is that Hitler pulled his ruse on a very intelligent and educated populace to be complicit in his Third Reich vision of domination. Donald Trump, instead, just had to convince some barely literate southern morons that the Mexicans were taking their jobs at Dollar General. Plus Adolph would have smothered Eric in his sleep. It never starts out obvious, Rex. That's why it works. Despite you starting every O&G cocktail party conversation with "You know, as a student of history..." -

I am indeed comparing them to Nazis. You're just too stupid/dishonest to accept that the definition of "Nazis" includes both "evil anti-semites who seized power and fulfilled their dream of exterminating jews" AND "people who voted for/empowered those guys to fulfill that dream because hey, my personal financial or other situation might be somewhat better under the Nazis, and what do I care about the jews, I'm not jewish"....and everything in between. It's not hyperbole to say that the horrors of the Nazis wouldn't have happened without "ordinary" Germans who 1) didn't have any burning hatred for jews, gypsies, or undesirables, but 2) were okay with looking the other way while the horror unfolded. Trump voters are America's "ordinary Germans." And a lot of the "in between," too, because a shitload of them make very plain and open their contempt for "the other" and their open desire to make "the other suffer." "HE'S HURTING THE WRONG PEOPLE!" Trumpism in a nutshell. In horrific times, reality seems like hyperbole. You're either willfully ignorant, or happy with the horror show because you want it to happen. Personally, I've quit caring which one it is: either one makes you a piece of shit.
