  The bottom is the US having no internal opposition to Trump. One of the biggest differences between the Nazis and the Republicans is, that the Nazis very quickly and violently destroyed the opposition. Somebody like Mamdami would have never been elected under Hitler. The great thing about the US is, that it has centuries of election history. For the most part with some horrible discrimination of women and black people, but still a large part of the population was voting. That is really hard for the Republicans to destroy and that means that there might be somewhat midterms. Obviously the Republicans will make those deeply unfair. However there is a chance of it going the right way.

  Just to be clear, this is not going to be easy and the midterms if anything are only a first step.

  At the bottom, and UK EU following the footsteps hoping nobody notices.

  Someone once said the bottom to me nearly verbatim for questioning the Iraq war. My grandmother once asked me if I wanted to go to hell because I laughed at Bush Jr fumbling his words.

  We’ve been there for a lot longer than people are willing to admit.
