Trumps Überfälle im Gestyle-Stil imitieren das Nazi-Diktatur-Playbook. Wie bei Trumps Marsch zur autokratischen Macht sind die Parallelen zu Hitler und Nazi -Deutschland unverkennbar und sollten für alle erschüttern.

>One less publicized provision of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” was the gift of $75 billion in extra funding for ICE, “making it by far the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the federal government,” CBS News reported.
>“This is police state territory, banana republic police state territory,“ Brooks said.
Until they stop feeding and housing the troops and make them sleep on floors and beg for scraps from the people they’re oppressing.
i will never again wonder ‚how could the germans have just allowed that to happen‘.
we could shut down the economy tomorrow. we could completely stall out all of this governments actions.
we are actually ‚the state‘ we are actually ‚the economy‘ and yet, we keep waking up and going to work. we keep dedicating our time and money to keep them going.
It’s a take right out of Hitler’s playbook, but also Stalin’s playbook.
These measures are *not* intended to reduce crime, they’re intended to centralize authoritarian control over parts of the country where political opposition is most prevalent.
This was always the goal… Trump’s authoritarian takeover of D.C. was a test and a means of justifying this practice in other states.
And by „practice“ I mean the militarization of domestic policy and the federalization of the military and local law enforcement in areas of the country where the Trump regime isn’t interested in reducing crime, but „cracking down“ on protestors and all dissenting voices.
„Law and order“ has been a conservative dog whistle for decades, and we know that Trump and MAGA don’t care all that sincerely about the law because they believe they are above it—that the law applies disproportionately to their „enemies“ and not to them.
Now, before Republicans begin whitewashing history related to the political realignment of the mid to late 20th century, I feel like I have to go off on a brief historical tangent:
Starting with how Republicans employed „the southern strategy“ in the 1960s to draw white, southern conservative voters to the party who felt alienated and disarmed by civil rights movements and desegregation policies. The strategy also succeeded at inciting racial tensions and merging conservative and religious „values.“
The strategy proved very effective.
By the 1980s, a new conservative movement had formed. Over the course of two decades, political figures like George Wallace, Barry Goldwater, William Rehnquist, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan of course, used „Law and Order,“ „tough on crime“ rhetoric and campaign talking points to engage with aggrieved white conservatives in the south. This language was riddled with dog whistles meant to inflame racial tensions and indoctrinate conservatives with fears of racial violence, desegregation, and black crime in their neighborhoods
Out of this movement also emerged the „moral majority,“ and a Christian fundamentalist revival that drew more and more conservatives to the Republican party; turning Christians into a political force for the right.
They also attracted white conservatives to the party by appealing to their grievances around how these deep societal changes were challenging the structural norms, myths, ideologies and hierarchies of a pre racial America and its dominant white culture.
The Conservative party today has deep roots in this movement and has grown increasingly more ethnocentrist as a result.
Today, their law and order rhetoric is rife with thinly veiled dog whistles meant to incite hostility towards minorities, immigrants and marginalized groups. It’s also used to justify their blatant, authoritarian policies. To them, „law and order“ means punishing their enemies.
Their obsession with crime and punishment is reflected in their support for these efforts that federalize troops and police to „crackdown“ on political dissidents, in their militarization of domestic policy, in their weaponization of the DOJ, in their disregard for the basic constitutional rights of the people they target and detain, in Trump’s attacks on law firms and judges, and in his reprimand of anyone who has ever tried to hold him accountable, among other things of course.
The cognitive dissonance really is astounding. While Trump and his supporters are demanding that he receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his feckless efforts at „negotiating“ an imaginary peace around the world, he is simultaneously waging war against the American people, and people he is supposed to protect mind you…
These tactics are taken directly from the fascist/dictator handbook. Trump and his followers will continue to support these measures until every „blue city“ or so-called „democrat, crime ridden hell hole“ is under their occupation.
Only chilling if you know the history of the Nazi Party.
ALL of it. Not just WWII-1945. Which many Americans don’t know and were never taught in school.
The only good dictator is a dead one.
Common Dreams has sure come along way from 2024 saying „[Joe Biden is democracy’s biggest threat](https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/biden-trump-threat-to-democracy)“
Just to be clear these actions should come as no surprise to anyone. Things are going to change dramatically in the US and the world in a very short period of time.
Well u/Virbillion, I guess that’s a discussion we’ll never have.
Good job!
Now is the time for every civilized American to come to the aid of their country.
America really feels like it is playing a giant game of jenga with democracy and the blocks keep getting pulled out by a guy wearing a blindfold and bragging about how stable the tower still looks. The raids that are being sold as justice smell less like accountability and more like authoritarian cosplay with cheap wigs, plastic badges, and flags printed in some discount shop. What makes it worse is how many people cheer for the chaos as if knocking the whole structure over would somehow give them a better house to live in. The parallels to history are there but most shrug it off as if comparing anything to nazi germany is too dramatic. Yet every new stunt looks like a remix of the same old playbook with dumber costumes and louder slogans.
Kinda surprised nobody’s stopping him really
People were warned about this the first time around…they chose it the second time around.
„…and yet Americans are doing nothing to stop it.“
I see this comment a lot, and yet there’s never any followup on exactly what we are supposed to do. How does one stop this fascist takeover? No one seems to have an answer to that.
The left and pro-democracy supporters among us lack a strong, cohesive leader that can unite us and actually push things forward. I think that’s our greatest weakness right now.
Remember, these are good old American boys. How far will they go?
Millions of Germans didn’t reject naziism even after they lost the war. Republicans aren’t going to suddenly come to their senses.

Except:
He’s a pedo.
He’s not bright.
He’s very ill.
He has hired only idiots.
Just waiting for a forced vote granting him the presidency in perpetuity. Maybe proud boys. Maybe ICE. armed thugs in the house either way.
Just listen the the Hitler series on the Real Dictators podcast. The parallels are definitely there.

And some of us have been pointing this out for a fucking decade.
It’s beyond chilling to those paying attention. It’s terrifying. It’s demoralizing to see how the general population doesn’t understand just how much worse it is going to get.
The general public is outraged but unorganized. In the long run, there are more of us than there are of them. Remember King Louis XVI.
My only solace is that he’s nearly 80 and should pass naturally, hopefully soon. It makes me think of a kidney stone.
It’s chilling to 100% of people that listen.
The issue is so few listen.
If the german government wasnt such a pussy, they could totally rewrite history by help overthrowing a dictator

But don’t call the nazis what they are now. The snowflakes might have a blizzard.
There is still time ! As long as we raise our voice above the tide of misinformation we can defend democracy !
Republicans have drew the lines and it is up to the educated to Educate the masses and remind them that we are all Human and want the best transition between birth and death !
What’s really chilling though?
The way all these everyday people just go along with their lives, like nothing is happening. All the cops, soldiers, and guardsmen who are just gearing up. The Proud Twats LARPing as ICE. Regular people acting foolish and assaulting people.
What’s really chilling is how many people were just waiting for the moment to let this shit out. Because the really chilling part is, they were this way all along. And you were friends and family with some of them. And they know it too. Anyone recall what people who fought in the Civil War said it felt like to shoot their family across the fields? I’m sure we won’t find out first hand anytime soon or anything…
It’s feeling kinda chilly in here, no?
As long as my cable tv prices don’t go up I think we’ll be ok. /s
