Remember when Mitt Romney said Donald Trump will change America with 'trickle-down racism'?

And now Trump is meeting with Mitt Romney this weekend to discuss governing and possible Cabinet post. The normalization of Trump steams ahead. All of my life I wondered how it was possible for a man like Adolph Hitler to rise to power. It felt impossible. But watching how people in this country just refusing to acknowledge what is going on around them, I now understand. Silence is agreement. Non-action is acquiescence.

I agree with your comparative analysis - I hope there are checks and balances somewhere to prevent damage - there weren't in the election selection

Unfortunately, the checks and balances that were built into our government aren't really there because as soon as they insert their SCOTUS judge, they'll control the entire government and be able to pass anything or remove anything they want.
