I’m not saying Trump is Hitler. I remember learning about the third reich and the Holocaust and thinking to myself how could a country or society standby and let this happen? Even be part of the extermination of the Jews? Well I have now seen for myself what one man with others that are willing to aid and abet him telling lie after lie, demonizing anyone who disagrees, and spread unfounded fear amongst once decent people can bring.
This is why this behavior and action can not go unpunished and has to be condemned by everyone in leadership from every walk of life in our society. We have to stand up and be counted. Thank god these people didn’t actually succeed and were not heavily armed. We’ve seen people from all walks of life from Drs to police officers, CEOs, teachers, every walk of life be radicalized by Donald Trump. If that doesn’t wake this country up I don’t know what will.
Some might say I am being overly dramatic or sensationalizing what had happened in Washington DC. I don’t believe that I am, when you see and listen to these citizens that took part in this insurrection at the capital and even those that didn’t but are excusing the act, they all think what they are doing is right, normal, and just. They somehow came to the conclusion that they can do whatever they want and there was not going to be any consequences to these actions. How did that happen? Donald Trump. The scary part is how easily he has done it.
