    The 2nd Weimar Republic has fallen. Americans should never again question how Hitler came to power.

      No one with a brain ever “questioned” how. History has all the evidence needed

        You cite a very crucial requirement that few people seem to have in abundance of late.

          Republican governed states have the lowest rankings for education, health, and basically every measure of standards of living.

          Poor, angry, uneducated. Trained to hate others, especially and specifically, democrats, lefties, and all things socialized.

          Perfect obedient soldiers.

            I’m in a deep red state. I’m poor, angry, but well educated.

            I was raised to care about and respect others no matter their background and upbringing. I’m a social Democrat supporter. So what does that make me other than an anomaly.

            It frustrates me to no end when people paint all the people in red states with such a broad brush.

              You are not the problem.

              What I said about red states is true. The states have those rankings, not every single individual.

              I am also poor and angry. And educated. With an upbringing that taught empathy and service to others.

              I sense an important theme here.

      People say this to sound cool but they don’t think it through.

      All watching it happen in real time has done is made it more clear that it still makes no sense.

        I agree that it makes no sense, especially if you are a casual observer like so many. But I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was the exact plan from the moment Jan 6 failed.

        Make no mistake, the coup is complete. Nobody did what was necessary to prevent it.
