    Imagine having a political opponent you consider equal to Hitler and choosing Joe Biden as the candidate you run against him.

      And after the debate you have to wonder who you’re really voting for. I don’t believe he’s really calling the shots. If it’s Obama or something okay, but let’s be honest.

    So weird to think that that all went down in 14 years. 2010 doesn’t seem that long ago.

    Also, Hitler had to declare a state if emergency to gain the absolute power the Supreme Court has just handed to the US president.

    Suffice it to say, something lile this is impossible now in Germany. The justices of our highest court, the Bindesverfassungsgericht, can only hold the job for 12 years and can be no older than 68. They are also always equally voted in by two different branches of the government and need a two thirds majority for any decision.

    Our democracy isn’t without faults, but this is probably our strongest bulwark against another descent into facsism.

      I think Trump will declare a state of emergency as soon as people will riot against his unjust laws. Project 2025 has something about deploying the military against the population to force through deeply unpopular laws.

    So just 14 years, a world war, a holocaust, and an aftermath which still leads to new wars until today?

    Yeah I think I’ll just be watching those crazy Netflix documentaries on Nov. 5th
