    I’m still in awe this saying made a comeback as strong as it did after 80 years. And somehow a lot of people fail to understand its impact.

    I’m only in my late 20’s and I’m scared I will have to face more and more Nazis in literally any country I decide to live in/visit. Because let’s face it, it’s not only Italy, Mexico, Japan and the USA with all time high far right movements.

      Take comfort that things go in cycles. Every time we go too far in one direction, people rebel too far in the other direction.

      Personally I’m hopeful this means the Republican Party is due to implode, and will need to rebuild based upon what used to be there fundamental principles of fiscal restraint, strong defense, investment in science, free trade, smaller government, actual family values. I hate supporting a billionaire, but Romney seems like the best example of what a Republican ought to be.

      Same for every other country that swung far right int authoritarianism, xenophobia, hatred, corporate shilling, profiting off government
