I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

and approval rates were high. People were ready to abandon the rule of law for personal gains.

It is the same in Russia. The majority supports Putin and even the war.

I don't know where you get this information from.
Of course, people were restricted. That's the nature of dictatorship. But they did not object. In Nazi Germany, Jews and other vulnerable groups were targeted in civilian life or jailed. For the majority, living conditions improved

I cannot prove my prediction about the future. It's just an assessment of the situation. We will see what happens. Maybe I'm wrong. I would be happy to be wrong.

Right. But it makes it easier. I've worked thousands of hours for the memorial of Nazi victims, documenting their fates and helping relatives find their traces.

I'm German. I know something about this. The problems for the majority started only in the war, specifically in the end phase.

Good luck with independent courts.

It's typical for most dictatorships. The majority is not affected.

That's how it worked in Nazi Germany.

In Belarus, a few years ago, 30% were on the streets, peacefully demonstrating. The government used violent force and after a few weeks, the uprising was contained.

The Last Generation climate movement was based on this theory.

It failed.

I can tell you from my experience in 1989, when we overthrow communist dictatorship in East Germany. There were ca. 10% on the streets and it only worked, because the government did not use violent force (in most cases).

Lol. Der Altmarkkreis Salzwedel in Sachsen-Anhalt wurde unter drei westlichen Volksbanken aufgeteilt. Jetzt haut das plötzlich nicht hin mit dieser Aussenstelle.

Die USA sind eher noch weiter rechts als die Allgemeinheit in Sachsen. Da ist ein Generalstreik möglicherweise eine Illusion. Wenn die Opposition zu schwach ist, hat die Demokratie schlechte Chancen.

Das sollten sie sein. Aber da lag es eben an den Eltern, ob die alles mitmachten oder auch mal dagegen hielten. Ich entsinne mich noch, dass meine Eltern dort eher Anweisungen von der Schule bekamen oder ausgeschimpft wurden, wenn etwas nicht lief.

It's fascinating.

Just for telling some Americans, that they are in deep trouble, I have received dozens of blocks.

They don't want to see the reality.

It's a factor for the success of the dictatorship, that people just cannot believe it could happen to them. They wake up when it's too late.

Will there be elections? Will the elections be free?
