    I was told that I am overreacting when I compared Trumplon’s first weeks in office to Hitler’s frist weeks in office.

    But I can understand that I am probably better informed about US politics than most people around me (I’m not in the US or USian).

    So for me it comes down to how long they stick to that narrative before admitting that maybe we weren’t exaggerating.

    PS: the road to fascism looks very jpeggy.

      They usually never do. Just at some point they start declaring they always thought so, too.

    A nice video on this topic made just as Trump took office. My Rubicon was crossed before then. But it’s a good way to remind yourself of where you are and where you were at previously. A good video to share to some normies that keep telling you you’re overreacting. They need to know where the Rubicon is. Otherwise they’ll just keep justifying each small step.
