(6,994 posts)23. You are exactly right..One of the first if not the first act by Hitler
was to stack the High Court with Judges that would uphold his agenda.
Hitler banned all Newspapers that did not agree with his actions and in fact more or less required those to praise his actions. Oh there is much more and if you listen to Trump's speeches there is definitely similarities in the tone. (one of Trumps ex-wives said that Trump kept a book of Hitler's Speeches in a cabinet by his bed)
It is truly Democracy and the Constitution vs Fascism.Republicans don't care if we have a Free Constitutional Democracy as long as they can maintain their wealth and even increase it.
This is what happen in 1930's Germany
I fear that my/our Grandchildren will not have the same freedoms that we as Baby Boomers enjoyed.
