(2,604 posts)But that was then, this is now. How long a period is that that is described in that quote? Years?
Im talking 6 months. And in 2024, not 1945. Oh, I know that we need to look at history and not repeat it, I get that. Did they have the internet to spread information about what Hitler was doing? Were the German people empowered as we are now? (Good grief, spend 6 days in a row not buying ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, and we could bring them to their knees.) Had Hitler been in power, then set on the sidelines, then put back into power by 50% of the population? What you are describing in that quote is donalds first term. And I am not so sure that anyone was bored by the two impeachments (Nuremberg trials).
I get it, I get it, I get ithistory is indeed repeating itself with donald. But Germany in the 1940s didnt have a Hitler to compare anything to. We do. And we are Americans, not Germans. When a man kills our mothers and fathers and children, we dont whine and complain.
I guess you and I have different opinions of Americans and who we are (ignoring the cultas I said, they will soon see the betrayal).
I am glad I am not as hopeless as it sounds like you are. Im sorry you have given up.
