Yes, the "It can't happen here" syndrome. The Germans said the same thing. Trump is the symptom, just as Hitler was. The timing and the circumstances set the stage for a Hilter in the US, it just happened to be Trump. I do believe it was inevitable, just as the next stage after Trump is inevitable.
It seems like I have been pointing all this out for years now- the hazards of falling into dictatorship….it seemed so obvious to many of us- yet people got tired of listening to those of us who were calling attention to all the signs. They preferred to pretend it really wasn’t happening. That it would all work out- that we were just chicken littles screaming the sky is falling. But nope. The dismantling of Congress was a given. The loss of the courts will be our downfall. Cheery times.
