As a history buff, I’m shocked at the rapidity of the decline of American liberal democracy.

Don't even have to be a historian...

I was always confused how Germany could let Hitler gain so much power, but Trump has shown we're no better today...

@sstronaut In some ways we’re worse because the conditions in Germany were so much worse.
@sstronaut It actually does make sense if you consider how uninformed the average person is. Things were good under Trump. That's because he inherited Obama's economy, but the average person doesn't know that. Then covid came along and wrecked everything. Trump failed to handle covid, so it's his fault, but the average person doesn't know that. All the average person knows is that now Biden is president and things are bad, that's it.
