The left is working itself up to the level of violence they reached in other countries. The Nazis did not start with rounding up and killing people by the millions. They started by harassing people and worked up to destroying property and committing physical harassment before they became methodical about it. Other socialist countries have taken the same trajectory, but we know less about them because the other socialists did not fall out of favor with the American left the way the German socialists did.
Our left is following the same trajectory towards pogrom, made the more violent by their desperation over our refusal to vote them into power.
“..The Nazis did not start with rounding up and killing people by the millions....”
No, you’re correct; they didn’t.
First, they passed gun control/confiscation - including the “Sporting Purpose” clause (read the democrats Gun Control Act of 1968, which they copied from the Germans).
And Germans, being good “law-abiding citizens”, complied. THEN they did the rounding up.
Because nobody could shoot back.
And they used the old lists of firearms owners that the Kaiser’s people generated in the prior “war emergency” during WW1 that were sitting in file cabinets for 20+ years.
