Watched a documentary on Netflix last night
The Last Days. It was a first hand account of Hungarian
Jews from Nazi concentration camps. It is hard to believe that civilised people could do those things. The one women said the Nazies took over her village with two SS men on motor cycles. People she knew all of her life in the town turned on the Jewish population overnight. Very disturbing films from Auswitz and other camps. It got me thinking that Trump people are actually capable of the same thing.

No, I'm not crazy enough to believe it will ever be completely safe again. At least not for a very long time. As long as Capitalism is in the hands of mostly white people it will be used to control those who aren't as well as those they deem inferior. Yeah, being part of history can be unsettling at best.

I remember seeing years ago a documentary about the Holocaust in college in the 1970s and it scared the F out of me!

On edit. My Dad saw the camps in 1945 as a early 20's GI. He made sure his children knew and understood exactly what he saw. His children did the same with their children. Never, ever forget.

Yes, Trump has shown the nation and the world, what we are and there is no denying that.
The sad part is that a lot of people in other nations would fight for their right to life, but here?

(36,816 posts)some are just totally insane. I see some houses with 10 or more Trump flags on their porch and yard another flag I have been seeing
more and more of is Fuck Biden. We couldn't stand Trump but I never saw shrines built to Biden or Hillary or one damn Fuck Trump flag.
These people are just anti American scum. There is a guy that set up a tent in an empty lot selling Back the Blue, Fuck Biden and Trump 2024 flags. After January 6th they claim to back the Blue.
