1. The hoods are coming off over in the Republican Senate chamber. First Braun, now Cornyn.

2. It's stunning.

I hope people are watching.

3. Holy shit. Gotta dust off the old grey uniform Johnny?

Maybe break out the old hood? Fucking Nazi.

4. The pressure these fuckwads are building has to go somewhere.

Where is it going to pop? And how much will cops need to be funded to deal with it? I'll bet the Senate can pass hippie-punching cop funding pretty fucking quick. These protestors are loud and often carry chalk.

5. MAGA like 1860!!!!

8. Like 1933 in Germany. Nt

6. The hate is mind boggling

I think I will exit the internet for a few days to get away from all the hate. Stunning. And he said this to the first black American president.

I just can't with all the hate.

9. I feel like we're seeing how it happened in Germany.

I feel like we’re seeing how it happened in Germany.

Just a little at a time….

11. I definitely agree

Sometimes I want to ask my 45 loving cousins if they are just being "good Germans".

13. History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme...

There are a lot of parallels to what happened in Germany in the 20s and 30s.

1. Obstructionism in the legislature, leading to overuse of executive orders.

2. Street violence by the Nazis vs abortion clinic violence

3. Jan 6 could be likened to the Beerhall Putchz or the Reichstag fire

There are other similaritites.

Shirer's book, Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich is an informative read for what the repubs have been doing.

Some things that helped us, though include:

1. "The Deep State" Our democratic institutions are better embedded because they've been in place longer

2. The repubs didn't have its leader for the early years. Hitler was much younger than trump when he seized power

2021 was a close call, and let's hope we can continue to stave off the authoritarians in our midst.

7. Cornyn loves apartheid

[ecstatic]

10. I forwarded his tweet to local news stations

Will they actually cover it? Who knows.

[AngryOldDem]

12. And by extension Brown vs. Board of Education overturned.

Never, ever did I think I’d see these dangerously regressive, repressive times.
