uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh if you've been following along closely to the United States political scene over the last year, it's kind of looking an awful lot like early days Nazism actually.
Moves to consolidate power, and remove any checks on power.
Moves to uproot standing government institutions.
Narcissistic, self-indulgent parades or rallies.
Attack on intellectualism.
Very aggressive on free trade, anti-diplomatic stance towards deemed enemy states like North Korea.
Attack on free press, subtle moves towards propagandism (White House press corps allowed to ask tough questions?).
Seemingly empathetic towards racist and prejudiced viewpoints, including Nazis themselves (Charlottesville).
Open discussion about deporting immigrants or "others" (DACA).
I gotta say, comparison to Nazism isn't as crazy as it was 1 year ago, that's for sure. We're closer on the spectrum, which should rightfully so concern a lot of people.
Hell that's just off the top of my head...
