As in the rise of Nazis, the German folk were given permission to behave badly.
Laws were written to encourage persecution and violence against minority groups included Homosexuals, Roma, Communists and foremost Jews.
Permission to behave badly is one feature of a leader who seeks to entitle a favored group , thereby targeting “the others!” Name calling, mockery, violence, denial of basic and civil rights promotes “scapegoating” and marginalization. This was a deliberate effort to reorganize society and “cleanse” society of “outsiders.”
The parallels are frighteningly obvious. And yet 70 million Americans voted for this scenario of a leader with a strong desire to close our borders and collaborate with our enemies.
Do not deny the direction we are headed. It’s happened before and is can happen again!
My neighbors are generally right-wing and closed mouthed. Every so often someone will let an insult slip:
(Your children are spawns of the Devil. Or it’s ok to be friends with Blacks in school, but you shouldn’t let them into your home)!
I was aware of this and vowed l would raise open-minded children. They’re scattered around the globe now and range the gamut of religious to atheist. But all are staunch Democrats who vote by mail or in person.
As is our tradition, we never miss an opportunity to vote and actively participate in community service from PTA to public theater to Census to support of government and family members.
Each is responsible for their own actions! And making informed decisions both personal and political! We do get around and still managed to stay grounded.
