The left is a formidable political opponent because their ideology inherently carries no moral restraints on what they will do to attain power.
I started saying, in the mid-1990’s, that I felt like a Jew in early 30’s Germany. It was that I felt completely out of step with the direction the world was going, and especially the US. When Bush was elected, I said we just put off the inevitable for another four years. But then, he (and the republican majority) is what pushed me out of the R party.
I have spent many years feeling like a Jew in “mid-30’s Germany” but it is now the late 30’s. And I think the next two years will be VERY bad, and progressively so.
However, there is another meaning to my Jew/Germany analogy. Sure, September 1st, 1939 is coming, but so is May 7th, 1945. Though I think this time it will be via the second coming of the Lord. Yes, I think it will get that bad.
I have a sense of imminence as well...
