How easy it is the slide into Fascism when a party comes into power that has such disdain for democracy and human rights. People died on foreign shores to prevent the USA from becoming what and who the right wing is supporting nowadays. The American flag stands for nothing and is just a red white and blue rag once democracy is gone.
Sounds about like the left today in their treatment of Israel.

The Holocaust didn’t occur suddenly or spontaneously—it required a conscious process. If we study the process, we might prevent future genocides.

1. Prejudice

2. Scapegoating

3. Discrimination

This goes for any kind of "out-group" or otherwise "different" group. If an out-group is very successful (Chinese in SE Asia are another), then the numerically dominant group will accuse them of all kinds of unsavory deeds, unethical behavior, etc. because they don't like people who are distastefully different to succeed. In this case, Christians didn't like the fact that Jews were succeeding, presumably because they saw it as threatening their religious beliefs (or if not based in religion, it's based on a perceived threat to their own cultural values - i.e. our cultural values must be wrong because not as many of us are as wealthy as the group with *those* cultural values).

In the reverse direction, a lot of people simply don't like a people's physical appearance or mental differences, or lack of powerlessness for whatever reason (That person's traits get on my nerves, are weird, or are deviant. Therefore THEY deserve to be kept down!).


From there, it's easy to do steps #2 and #3. If conditions are "right", then #4 occurs.

The ideology of the current GOP distilled down to it's base consists of "I know you are but what am I?".

The Nazis banned Jews from having firearms. They removed their means of self-defense, then systematically executed them. Parallels to the left-wing gun control/ban freaks. Discuss...

Democrats have a lot of nerve suggesting repubs are fascists when they have spent two years now trying to overturn the results of a legitimate election.
And the president has not tried to silence legit news, he has a problem with the hit pieces by news outlets working for the above agenda.
Let me tell you that comparing your opposition to hitler and nazis is only going to get you one thing. Eventually we figure its catch 22 and live up to your stupid allegations.
Many on the right can shoot a fly off a dogs ass at 100 meters with a 10 mph crosswind... and have the brass and reload bench ready to do it 1000x a month if needed... while most on the left can barely get out of bed without tripping over their fuzzy pink slippers.
So watch yer tongue sister. Get a grip on some civility and stop patronizing people with your hysterics.
Like Streisand, Fonda, Reiner, DeNiro, Madonna, Behar, with all their outrageous drama queening.
Facists have a problem when the other side gets their turn to lead the populace.
Thats YOU right now. Not us.

The Nazis banned firearms. Not from Jews only, but from everyone that wasn't a Nazi. Because the liberals in Germany started to see how evil the right wing German fascists Nazi party was and the Nazis had to stifle them and then kill them to keep their country White and pure. If there are any similarities (and thankfully they're tangential) that are to be had they are with the current nationalist GOP. Anyone not wearing blinders sees that.

False. Here's proof:

German:
http://jpfo.org/images02/NaziWeaponLaw1800x2667.gif

English translation:
Nazi Weapons Law of November 11, 1938

The Nazis disarmed the Jews, then systematically executed them. Why implement a repeat in the US? Why violate the 2nd Amendment?

Very true!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_le...he_Third_Reich

Holders of annual hunting permits, government workers, and NSDAP (the National Socialist German Workers' Party) members were no longer subject to gun ownership restrictions. Prior to the 1938 law, only officials of the central government, the states, and employees of the German Reichsbahn Railways were exempted.[8]
