On this lovely second day of the new year, I am watching AHC again. This time they are doing a lot of stories about Hitler. I’m not sure why these shows are so fascinating, but I keep asking myself, are they talking about Hitler or Trump? Kind of scary when the person they are profiling sounds exactly like the current shitgibbon in our White House.
One thing (among many) that has me worried is the story of the Reichstag fire. It was blamed on the Communists and used as a justification for Hitler taking over the government and thus becoming a dictator. We know that the Republicans and Trump blame the Democrats for everything and I’m worrying now that some horrendous thing will happen (assassination of a higher up in the admin, or a Senator or MOC, or worse) everyone will suddenly start blaming the Dems. Even more voter suppression, even more cries for locking up (or worse, murdering) political opponents or those not sufficiently worshipful of our dear leader will lead to the end of our system of government.
How do we insure that Democratic Party/Democrats are not scapegoated into providing the glow of “winner” on the orange thing now dirtying up our country. How do we protect our country when even the media are enjoying the shit storm currently engulfing us?
