I can see that you likely view the world in black and white and not on a spectrum so let me break this down a bit more and try again as I really don’t feel like your spaz was warranted on my post (not sure you even read the whole thing).
The Nazis didn’t just get elected and then start gassing Jews. The descent into tyranny that was their rule was a slow and steady decline starting with governing decisions that seem at a superficial glance
similar in nature. This doesn’t mean I’m saying it’s the same at all, I’m saying there are similarities to what the Trump Administration are doing and what the Nazis did at the beginning of their rule.
I even cited several examples, unlike you as to why you disagree. Can you counter my examples? No, because I’m right.
There are a variety of elements to governance and just because the US isn’t on the brink of invading another foreign country doesn’t mean that other elements of their governing aren’t similar in nature or, (actually what I said in my first post which you conveniently left out when you quoted me for seemingly dramatic effect) closer down the spectrum to what the Nazis did then where they were earlier.
If you care to actually discuss in detail we can but maybe you should brush up on history yourself circa 1930-1939 to see what I’m actually talking about rather than getting huffy and condescending.
I’ll give you one small example to think about. Nazis burned all books they didn’t like. Trump administration has attempted to reform education, science, etc. in ways that only speak to their agenda. Similarity? Yes. Same? No.
