The Uncanny, Frightening Ways That Trump's America Mirrors Hitler's Germany

[Frustratedlady]

30. I fear that before and shortly after Christmas, all hell is going to break loose.

My friends and I have talked about this "coup" they must be up to...not only in the U.S., but in other countries, as well. Can it happen? Is it happening?

I think what scared me was when the protesters during the inauguration were arrested and are still going through the trial process. It was hushed quickly and only bits and pieces have come out that I have seen. Protesting is one of our rights...right? Still?

The attack on the new media was not surprising, but I didn't think they got the response they hoped for. These younger reporters, for instance, seem to have put their minds to exposing this administration as much as possible and are quite sharp on what they are finding. Trump made fun of them, so now they will show him what good reporting is and they aren't afraid of him. That's good. Rachel is a good example.

The Republicans totally shutting out the Democrats from our legislative process is another concern. It is easy to understand why they have done so, due to the tricks they are pulling in all kinds of ways, but our so-called POTUS should be directing them to stop that practice and work together. We don't have a congress anymore. It's the Republican party running the show and doing it poorly, to boot. Even the lobbyists are writing our laws, as per instructions from the oligarchs and think tanks of the Koch Bros. and their ilk.

I'm seeing/feeling that the only way we will be able to control this fiasco is to go to the streets in protest. They don't think we have the guts. Do we?
