We have Nazis and Nazi-lite -> MAGA

We have brown shirts -> ICE.

We are blaming immigrants and believing white people are somehow superior.

Now we just invaded a country, and say we will invade others.

What’s happening here… It feels strange. Is anyone else seeing this?

    You’re not wrong. But make no mistake, what is happening now mostly began and (hopefully) ends with the Boomer generation. They have failed the United States in so very many ways. They constantly blame others for their own failings. They can’t even define the word “introspection.” They would rather watch the world burn than let anyone, who they are not directly related to, prosper.

    Like most people who follow blatant nonsense, younger generations in the US were indoctrinated from birth into the backwards thinking that leads to MAGA even becoming a thing. It’s no different than being indoctrinated into religion. It’s brainwashing disguised as child rearing.

    Not all Boomers are this way. But in my admittedly small sample size, the vast majority that I’ve ever met, including those in my own family, are. And the craziest thing of it all – they think they’re right and righteous. And that’s what makes them dangerous.
