Over a decade, tens of millions dead, and a world war that reduced half of Europe and most of Germany to rubble. I agree the empire will fall, but few of us will live to see it. (1/2)

We aren’t Germany 1932! After all the people saying “we wouldn’t allow that to happen to us“. Are people going to stop at words and complacency?! Millions of us that would rather give the ultimate sacrifice to make sure that doesn’t happen! America was built on bravery! Not couch warriors! #saveUS

Nazi Germany was run by monsters, but monsters who were at least 'capable.' Their ambitions were 'in the planning' for a decade and aimed at external enemies. The MAGA psychotic CULTISTS have hatched a plan TO PILLAGE THEIR OWN COUNTRY!

Good point. Kyle Kulinski or someone else made the point a few days after the attack on Iran, that at least W and Cheney et al had the intelligence to build up the b.s. for 2 years to go into Iraq. hence the high poll # s at the start. These dummies just went in, hence shit poll # s from the jump

(Beware! The U.S. DOESN'T have "a long history of democracy." Early 'Americans' happily prospered under the protection of a monarchy for well over a century. There were no "Civil Rights" for MANY until the 1960s. Slavery and segregation/apartheid were deliberately tolerated policies: 💰. Beware!)

Yes, 'The Enlightenment' kicked-in, for a short time, in the late 18th century. It didn't 'stick', though. 'Reason' and secularism were soon defeated by capitalist greed and all those supernatural delusions.

This is a common misconception. The Nazis were drug-addled, fiendishly stupid lunatics whose vision of themselves far exceeded their actual ability. Their sheer incompetence is pretty directly related to their downfall.
