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?

    Fair observation, but conversely, this particular kind of populism very much started with the 20th century fascists, it’s uncanny how similarly it’s going now.

    Especially in terms of what people would be taught and expected to know about; I think you’d struggle to find anyone in the developed world who doesn’t know at least the basics about WW2.
