They don’t seem to have much awareness of anything but themselves. They dont seem to comprehend the meaning of love for others unless they can control or profit from the other person.

Everyone is expendable and every thing is transactional.

Yeah MAGA is a cult that worships a demented psychopath. Greed and selfishness are now virtues. Trump is a comicbook super villain. It’s bizarre. And somehow they manage to convince themselves that they’re the good guys.

No one is more responsible for the “rage, hatred, and vile language” over the past ten years than Donald Trump. Sean Hannity and his colleagues share the blame. Trump could never have poisoned as many minds without the supportive lies of Fox News.

Not sure if you were ever able to expand the article, so...

German Nazis were extreme nationalists who believed all other nations and races are inferior.

Just like MAGA Nazis today.

German Nazis manipulated the dumbest of the dumb with lies, and demonized experts and the highly educated who resisted.

Just like MAGA Nazis today.

German Nazis used lies as a weapon, to seize power. Once in power, they used the police & military to oppress everyone else.

Just like MAGA Nazis today.

German Nazis hated Democrats, Socialists, LGBTQ, immigrants and minorities.

Just like MAGA Nazis today.

German Nazis used lies as a weapon, to claim they were the victims of evil minorities.

Just like MAGA Nazis today.

German Nazis used lies as a weapon, to falsely accuse their victims of the crimes the Nazis committed.

Just like MAGA Nazis today.

German Nazis were Christian conservative right-wing nationalists, who thought of themselves as good patriots.

Just like MAGA Nazis today.

German Nazis believed every horrible crime Hitler committed, he did for them, to protect them from evil Democrats, Socialists, LGBTQ, immigrants and minorities.

Just like MAGA Nazis today.

Most German Nazis didn't know that they were the bad guys.

Just like MAGA Nazis today.

As i was trying to say before i was knocked off the net, my father who was about 10 during WWII & his older brother who was in the army & served in the European Theatre of WWII told me that when Hitler took power, he first killed his own countrymen. Hitler emptied out psych hospitals, prisons, homes for crippled, mentally challenged, poor & elderly. They were nor fit to be the superior race that he wanted to produce (produce like Project 2025). I had a German roomate in college who said her father, who was a child during the war, said the first thing Hitler did was to kill the opposing democratic political party members, some by hanging them & leaving their bodies hanging on the lightpoles in downtown areas as warnings. Those that could afford to get out, left just as some are doing in the U.S.

Intellectuals sought asylum in other countries like Von Braun to the U.S. My father said thank God he did or we would not have had the atomic bomb first in order to end the war.

I just finished watching the Germany movie 'Look Who's Back'. It was very entertaining, funny, chilling&very compelling, all at once. I read your article '9 things we should know' that was part of its post. I knew Trump was up to no good from the very beginning. Its what drove me to go on Twitter, as a way to warn people & I was alarmed by how mesmerized everyone was by his theatrics, news media drunk on the ratings, constant shock&awe, disbelief, denial. I still see alot of that even now, with all the evidence we have that we are on fast track toward becoming an Autocracy. I saw chilling video of Stephen Miller, who looks like Joseph Goebbels, giving speech about how under Trump they are going to come after 'terrorists' stirring up trouble & only terrorists stirring up trouble is him & Trump, Bondi & Kash Patel weaponizing our government against us. Charlie Kirks death has escalated the hate & rhetoric. This far right feels thirsty for blood, as they accuse the left as being the violent ones. I asked Grok today & Grok said right-wing was 75% responsible for murders. Very much like your color graph. I feel the right will not give up power easily, or willingly. Do you know there is evidence that 2024Election was stolen? electiontruthalliance.org has detail on indepth analysis of voting machines from election day&shares the graphs if voting patterns. Is clear there was a hack&interference. gregpalast.com has detail on extensive voter suppression of millions, near 12MILLION! Both are non partisan, dedicated to preserving fair elections. Thankyou for your indepth knowledge & insights. Its depressing, but important to face where we are
