but this Trump apocalypse is history repeating itself. There is historical documentation, within the last century that clearly lays out how an evil, despotic, crazed ruler destroyed a country and killed millions. It's there, detailed for all to see. There are books, journals, films, documentaries that show how this happened and how it was permitted to happen. yet is happening again. Ignorance is no excuse.

I am stunned that this country is on autopilot, and few are doing a damn thing to stop it. Many of our elected officials are inept or complicit, and many in the media are either too afraid or too stupid to point it out. The reign of Hitler is no longer a historical account, but an instructional manual.
