difference between 1930s Germany and 2024 US. The only explanation I have is today we have the right-wing media
and the internet. I think the last chance we have is the 2026 election or Trump dropping dead.

(2,823 posts)So take the time and try to look around you...
Just see who thinks ignorance is bliss...
Lifetimes for the shapin'...
Countries for the takin'...
Turned around and seems to me it's all been sold to hell.
Ain't no way one man alone...
Hid the bodies, bought the throne,
But buying in to sell us out?
Odd to say, I ain't got no doubt.
