Metaphorically speaking, "Tell that to Rosa Parks."

I hear you completely though, as to "that is the best I can do right now." We're all in that boat, and I'm not criticizing you. The state is going to do whatever it wants, and 99.9% of it will follow the rule of law.

One day, maybe the US government will be as odious as Hitler's, or maybe not quite tha tbad, but still a force of harm and evil; and that too will all be according to the rule of law, guaranteed.

I have just finished reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

The process of growth of the Nazi Party was fascinating from a sociological point of view. The “hatred” part of it was foreign to me, and I do not think it would fly in the US. But the patriotism angle and the “inferiority” complex could certainly work here.

Fortunately the structure of our politics would not allow a dictator to take over without a much larger portion of the electorate.

Don’t take me the wrong way, the Nazis were nuts-—by anyone’s measure—but the process and the political maneuvering was genius. It shows the importance of delivery of the message. If a crazy message is well crafted, people will buy it.
