We always ask how people could see dictators rise to power and do nothing about it


Well, here it is. There was a time early on, when Trump first burst onto the scene that some people were willing to overlook some of his antics, as he was speaking about real issues and giving people who had lost their voice a say. Unfortunately, he was also championing racism, and so many other despicable things.

Many saw through his act and saw him for what he really was at the start- a conman. Some, like me, were willing to give him a chance (an awful, awful, mistake).

But as soon as he got in office he just kept taking layer and layer off. I think Jan 6 really finally slapped some people back into reality.

Unfortunately, it didn't do that for everyone. And now, some of his early supporters have somehow been sucked into the cult of personality he managed to create, and we have this.

Trump is America's Hitler.

No question about it. When Trump first ran on a platform of "us vs. them" it should’ve been a [b]huge[/b] red flag to people.
