The insane-making part is that the hard right won't even deny it anymore. They're just normalizing Hitler. How the fuck did we get here?

The article is better than the headline suggests, but considering 90% of news consumption doesn't get further than that, it's pretty disingenuous. Her "activities" basically amounted to a neighbourhood watch and school newsletter.

I just don't think the well-known and well-trod difference in population disbursement is relevant. We are seeing what happened in Germany in 1930s, after all: a minority population being scapegoated and blamed for perceived hardships to the general population

You are underestimating the critical mass of Americans that genuinely and knowingly support this regime. They're not lazy, or ill equipt, or uneducated. They. Are. Racist. And Misogynist.

Complicit is right. They are not complacent, they are *complicit*, and actually think immigrants took their jerbs and that when the dust settles we'll all realize Trump was a genius (that's genuinely what MAGA people believe)

Don't be naive. The POTUS is making open threats to former allies - that's serious. Pretending otherwise is called appeasement, and I have news regarding how that went last time
