    I was really gobsmacked listening to the Ultra podcast by Rachel Maddow about Nazis infiltrating the government during WWII. The parallels were so frighteningly similar to today, but in a way reassuring in that some things never change. There will always be schmucks in politics trying to ruin everyone’s time. The struggle for decency is perennial.

      Yeah the problem is as trump came in there was already sorta an overuse of like hitler thing (and again by our republicans who try to normalize everything. My god the pictures of obama with a hitler mustache, ugh) and its like trump came in and the way he spoke and acted its like hes going right out of hitlers playbook. super eerie.

      Trouble is you need an event which causes a purge to get rid of them. WW2 was it last time. What will it be this time.
