Once it was Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler [View all]

Now it's Putin, Un and Chancellor Trump.
And add to them a complicitly, avarice press, media and sheep disguied as reporters and journalists.
Names change. Greed and Desire for Power never does.
This must have been what the 1930s were like before totally stupidity took over.
And even then there were those who could see the truth yet decided that all we had to do was coddle the crazies. Of course now it's we go high which is really the reason since Nixon we're where we are today. I'm tired of those who are comfortable enough in THEIR current living that they don't feel the need to take action - to "go high: - to turn the other cheek becasue we don't want to be like THEM! And let others worry about it until it affects them. Then it'll be OUR fault.
We, not all of us, have learned nothing from history except that those in power don't care the cost to others so long as they are in control - and evidently we have ignored that history through political means.
My father along with others fought the supporters of those original three so we shouldn't have to fight the current three. And now I see many who won't fight. Mores the pity.
Shame on those who support or ignore these times or make excuses for their inaction.
