Nazi's. Period. Full stop.
The people who support them would be just as willing, as the WW2 German populace was, to look the other direction as their neighbors are hauled off and executed.
You can blame Garland, and you would be right, but then ask yourself who appointed him, a Republican, to head the DOJ?
You can blame the Republicans in Congress, and you would be right, but then ask yourself which party who was in control of Congress for at least the first couple years of the Biden Presidency sat on their asses and did next to nothing to put in place safeguards that would have kept Trump from even being able to run for office in 2024?
You can blame the Supreme Court, and again you would be right, but then ask yourself which party and President did nothing to impeach obviously corrupt Supreme Court Judges?
You can blame "Right Wing Media", and yes once again you would be right, but ask yourself why our party did NOTHING to reinstate some form of the Fairness Doctrine?
You can blame McConnell, and yep you would be right, but ONCE AGAIN, which party sat around exploring their navels for almost 11 months while McConnell used the bullshit excuse of too close to an election to block the appointment and then later completely forgot his excuse to ram through a Trump appointee. (and don't forget Garland is a Republican and why the f**k was our leader at the time wasting his time and power trying to appoint a Republican in the first place????)
You can blame the Georgia Republicans for interfering on the side of Trump in a court case that could have seriously tipped public opinion in our favor, and you would be right, but ask yourself which District Attorney in charge of handling that case had the brilliant idea to have an affair with her Special Prosecutor whom she hired thereby handing Trump's attorneys and Republican supporters the ammunition they needed to kill the case?
And you can blame Trump, and.....oh crap do I even need to say it, yes you would be right, but ask yourself who declared he would be a one term President in 2020 but when it came time for the 2024 election dicked around, looked foolish in the first 2024 debate, more dicking around and then FINALLY decided well by golly maybe I shouldn't run...LIKE HE SAID HE WOULDN'T in 2020 leaving our new candidate with a very limited time to campaign for an election crucial to the future of Democracy in this country? (she did amazingly well despite it but still...)
And after you've considered all of this ask yourself why the ever living f**k are our leaders doing things like attending Trump's inauguration and congratulating him on his recent win?????
All we can do is vote. Its up to our leaders to fight for us when we do vote for them. Most in my opinion are not doing that job. That in my opinion is why our numbers were so far off in this last election compared to 2020 and 2016.
And if you come back telling us we can't do this we can't do that go look in the mirror and once again ask yourself why we're all on the verge of Nazi Germany 2025.
