We are not pre war Germany nor communist Russia
Has are govt gotten off track? Sure.
Vote your conscience work to change what you don’t like
I _hope_ you’re right. But I _think_ we’re descending into a revolutionary environment every bit as tumultuous as that which birthed Nazi Germany or Bolshevik Russia. I see the same “men have forgotten God” worldview as the communists, the same scapegoating of innocent dissidents as the Nazis. The institutions have all capitulated leaving only smaller embattled bastions of resistance - and Trump, as leader of the resistance, is facing a full court press.
...pre war Germany ...

There IS a stench of Wiemar in the air.
History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes.
As for revolutionary Bolshevist Russia. I see some potential rhymes: organized thuggery/street actions, institutional Bioleninism, elimination of political rivals by any means, false flags, an agricultural front, a middle-class front....there really are a lot of analogies.
I advocate a parallel society & economy as a means of change.The lack of violent reaction is driving them crazy, forcing their hand and they lose support with every escalation.
