I do believe that he would have allied with Germany, Italy and Japan.

I do believe that he and his followers would have supported concentration camps for people they considered different.

I do believe that he and his followers would have extermination camps for POC.

I do believe that there would have been many, many Babi Yar(s) all over America.

I do believe that (some) Christians would have justified what would have occurred.

I do believe that eventually America would eat its own.

And like today, 33% would actively support it; 33% would fight against it; and 34% would be indifferent.

Better think again.

Now that we know we cannot vote by mail in blue states or get ballots in the mail, looks like we’re fucked.
