"In a Wednesday essay for the Atlantic, historian Timothy W. Ryback, who is the director of the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation in The Hague, described the process in which Hitler rapidly disintegrated Germany's constitutional republic in just 53 days.

Ryback noted that after the failed Beer Hall Putsch " in which the Nazi leader attempted to violently overthrow the government " Hitler abandoned his goal of violent revolution in favor of "destroying the country's democratic system" through legal means."

A must read for anyone interested in seeing how closely history is repeating itself... the details are extraordinary.

"Elections were held shortly after the Reichstag fire that saw the Nazis dramatically increase their representation in parliament.

A few weeks later, Ryback wrote that Hitler issued a decree indemnifying any Nazi who committed crimes "in the battle for national renewal," including murder.

He noted that "men convicted of treason were now national heroes," and that the first batch of detainees soon arrived at the Dachau concentration camp.".

- The only history that is repeating itself

The analogy of events in the article to current affairs are both obvious and apt... from the Beer Hall Putsch to J6, to the pardons for traitors and the round ups of undesirables, and several others.

And blaming Dems? Sounds like another effort to scapegoat those who, however imperfectly, at least try to hold back the tide of stupid, even though their successes are limited or fleeting.

But I'm sure whatever you did was better.

One supposes that changing the subject from Hitler's Fascist strategy in comparison Trump's Fascist strategy to Dems being somehow responsible for all the world's ills, while then groping Israel's butt.... has some kind of value somewhere, someplace, sometime.

Could give you something to do while waiting for dumb people to be less dumb in the future.
