Pardon me, but there is already an uncanny resemblance from my vantage point outside either nations. Just sayin.
That reminds me! I wonder if my vantage point is doing any better. Catch you later - if the world doesn't catch an express back to the dark ages in the meantime.
Memo to WH stooges: you need a mass PR propaganda campaign constantly to extols virtues of the new regime and actions. POTUS only has 49% of the electorate....
For some days now I'm reading a German newspaper from 1933. Hitler's playbook at the time was 1. Suppress opposition in the admin 2. Suppress political opposition 3. Intimidate the free press 4. Turn police into a political tool There are clear signs of 1. and 3. in the US, not sure about the other two. masto.ai/@aguleb/1140669858709…

Göring decree to establish "Hilfspolizei" [support police] - Riots by radical left and communists overload regular police forces.
Seen from outside: it's a coup, and if democracy can't stand and is going to lose the fight, it's time for the army to step in and end this bizarre opera. Otherwise you will be western ruzzia, that's clear.
@jon_wnc Every time I see this woman, with her little Christian pendant winking at me like an iron cross, I think to myself, “A barbie doll Nazi? How weird!” And then I remember reading about the ideals of Himmler’s “Lebensborn” project, and I think “maybe not all THAT weird.” Trump does love him some Aryans, after all. That’s been clear since well before he surfed down his golden escalator in 2015.
#GeneralStrike tomorrow, Feb 28th. Don't buy anything from an American corporation. There may just barely be time for the oligarchs to stop full-on fascism.

Don't threaten them with a good time.
