Just as Hitler gave power to the SS which began as an internal party security team, the new regime gives the power of life and death to men we can’t identify. Any thug, to include January 6 rioters, can buy a POLICE shirt on the net, hide their faces with terrorist bandannas and Raybans and night-vision goggles, smash windows, throw flash-bang grenades because they love noise, kidnap innocent people and make them disappear.
So, no ID, no badges, no due process, no rules. Two words we don't want in the same sentence are "secret" and "police" - we're literally riffing off the Gestapo now.
Hitler didn’t launch the Holocaust instantly: he curtailed rights during the 1930s and ramped the death camps later. But Trump leaped right in, kidnapping the innocent.
It was never clear why Hitler hated the Jews or how much of his antisemitic nonsense he believed. But our fascists have a clear aim: preventing brown people from making Republicans irrelevant.
Like Hitler, Trump has a bunch of incompetent losers and psychopaths running the slaughter.
So yeah, Walz is right. The difference is that the Nazis conquered the world. These clowns couldn't even secure their own border in a red state.
