History is repeating itself

The night of the Long Knifes has begun last month and we are experiencing the windfall of what Germany experienced the 30s. We all know we cannot reason with these people, they must be denazified to see what they have done.

Question now is, who is next?

Who is in their way?

"The Fourth Turning" by William Strauss and Neil Howe. It describes a four part cycle, which typically lasts around 80 years, and we are currently in a fourth turning. Things are bad now and the will undoubtedly get worse before they finally get better. The last Fourth Turning was 1929-1946, the Great Depression and WWII. We currently have Trump attempting to dismantle our Democracy, and it is not going to be fun fighting him and his cronies.

Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller are two massively evil, sadistic, sociopathic fucks who must spend the rest of their worthless lives in prison. Fox News and the Heritage Foundation must also be brought to justice for the hell they have wrought on this country.
