10. Everyone knows more about the rise of Hitler than they did last year.

Note: this list was compiled from Susan Keller from all over social media...
I agree with the above, but you should probably give credit to whom originally wrote it.
Honestly, I would like to give that credit but I don't know who originally wrote it, according to another site I visited, the list was compiled by a Susan Keller.

If someone had told me a year ago that a Leninist would be the closest adviser to the President of the United States, I would have thought they were nuts. But you learn something new every day.
People reading books like 1984--not as a fantasy so much as to get a deeper understanding of today's reality. The whole administration seems like a science fiction book.
The funniest one was "Mike Pence" has donated to Planned Parenthood.
It's good to see a bit of humor in the face of these mean spirited people who seen to have no desire other then to hurt people and destroy what has made America great.

Worse than that - a Bakuninist.
And Trump doesn't even know what that means. I guarantee you he has never heard the name in his life. He probably thinks it's that guy in the Beatles song who shot it out with Daniel in that South Dakota saloon. Our own President doesn't even know who is running the country.
