    Oh he was trained. This shit wasn’t a fluke. We’ve reached “Nazis patrolling our streets, executing civilians on the president’s orders” stage of US collapse. This will continue until people start shooting back.

        On one hand, yes… but on the other, I think that’s part of why they’re so successful. We constantly give Trump and people like Trump the village idiot pass - we don’t take them seriously because we wave off their malice as just stupidity.

        If Trump actually behaved competently, he’d have been in prison ages ago.

        …it’s the fucking Darth Jar Jar theory, but it’s happening in real time.

        The SA was a lot like ice they were undisciplined thugs who roamed the streets killing and arresting Jews and dissidents. The Gestapo came after and we’re the “elite”. Most of the SA men ended up in the military. In Germany 50% of boys and men were killed in WW2 facism comes with a heavy price tag
