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?


Authoritarianism worked fairly well for a lot of states, though; it was democracy that had to prove its worth in the 1930s and it wasn’t really working for Germany at the time (because of extreme political polarization and a constitution that wasn’t equipped to deal with that kind of thing). The trouble with the Nazis (from their own perspective) was that they bit off a lot more than they could chew when they started the war.
