All of that, just a few decades ago.
In 1920 the Nazi party had only 3000 members. By 1933 they ruled Germany. The Khmer Rouge started in the early 60's and in 1975 took over Cambodia killing about 1/4th of the population. Three observations: Tyranny grows very quickly. And there is never a shortage of people willing and eager to do any atrocity to their fellow citizens in the name of following orders. and three there isn't anything special about the USA that keeps it from happeneing here except perhaps the 2nd amendment. That's why president dog squeeze and his accomplices want to gut it.
