OT: American Politics

Can people actually not see the parallels to 1940s Germany in some of the things that have been happening? It really puzzles me that there are some who get upset with pointing out some of the similarities. Can they really not see them?

A lot of Americans didn't like being forced to keep their mouths shut about which groups of people they disliked and thought the problem with society was that they could be judged for being outwardly hateful.

They're struggling with the reality that allowing that (which they've always wanted) leads pretty quickly to this. they're having their "are we the baddies" moment and it's uncomfortable.

I think I've told you all that I've been taken into secondary the last two times I went to the US...once with extended family going on a Disney cruise to Alaska and the other time when going to new York with wife and sister in law.

I'm scheduled to go to New York for April long weekend with my family and sister in law and I know it's gonna happen again.

My name is most likely similar to some drug person from Mexico.
They've asked me to speak Spanish and when they asked about where my parents were from....the agent tells me I hesitated.

My wife is thinking it won't happen....but I am prepared to be sent back.

I'm also doing Roatan in July and the only way to get there is with a stop in Houston 😳. 50 min lay over.

“Don’t do the shots,” the girl’s mother said. Measles, she added, is “not as bad as they’re making it out to be.” She noted that her four other children all recovered after having received alternative treatments from an anti-vaccine doctor, including cod liver oil, a source of vitamin A, and budesonide, an inhaled steroid usually used for asthma.

Not that bad. Only killed one of my five kids.

I haven't witnessed any self reflection in this ignorant dumbfuck country. Only the most politically engaged have any awareness or concern about what's happening. The recent deportations/imprisonments without due process and in violation of court orders are barely a blip on the radar. Trump's popularity is eroding a bit, but only because he didn't magically flip the economy switch like he promised to do. Hopefully enough of it is salvageable by the time Democrats have a chance to regain power, not that all the selfish, entitled voters deserve a better fate.
