    You know, for this whole election cycle, many, many people have been commenting on the parallels between Trump/MAGA and the rise of the Nazi party. It hasn’t just been people on social media, there have been lots of well cited articles. Take a look at this Guardian piece from the summer.

    So yes, the parallels are so significant that it makes people wonder if it’s coincidental or a playbook.

      In your honest opinion do you think he will try to get rid of voting so he can remain in power like Hitler did?

        Absolutely. If Trump dies till then someone else will just take over. America wont have free elections for decades to come.

        I would definitely not put it beyond him. The only thing that could really prevent this would be his death. Be glad that Trump is way older than Hitler was in 1933.

        The scary thing is that Republicans have the holy political trinity right now. Control of the executive as well as both legislative branches. They could easily pass an amendment to nix the 22nd.

        I’ll be surprised if he lives long enough for that - he’s old and has a terrible diet - but he said at a fundraiser that people would only need to vote one more time, which many took to mean that’s all he’d need to stay in power. He tried a failed coup in 2020, so clearly doesn’t care if it’s lawful or not. Would anyone be surprised?
