“'Gleichschaltung' in Trump’s America”

by Timo Al-Farooq in Al Mayadeen English

“Trump’s second term is mirroring #Nazi #Germany’s Gleichschaltung, as US institutions fall in line under an authoritarian, pro-Zionist regime targeting migrants, dissenters, and Palestine advocates”

Likening ICE to Hitler’s infamous paramilitary Sturmabteilung (SA) is not where the many parallels between Nazi Germany and Trump’s America will end. (Al Mayadeen English; Illustrated by Zeinab El-Hajj)

"It's illegal" 🤣 🤡

He's been convicted on 34 criminal charges.

You have no idea what is happening and should just stop sharing your opinions on legality, obviously.

What *is*, is all that matters. Nothing else.

The "rule of law" is only what is enforced. If it's not enforced, then what do you think "illegal" means, in reality?

Please focus on that, and act accordingly.

Sez the #Authoritarian wannabe #dictator!

#trump is but a reflection of #american society

it doesn't matter what trump is. there's always been people like trump

the true tragedy is that his shit personality *appeals* to so many americans

true grit, true maturity, is not rewarded in hyper#capitalism

bullying and lying is

trump is a merely the embodiment of the #usa's decline into #authoritarian #plutocracy

"yeah but the #us has always been like that"

there's always worse

this is definitely worse

Continued thread

“It brings to mind the abuses of power that characterize #authoritarian nations, not the #UnitedStates. No matter one’s party or #politics, every American should reject the notion that the awesome #power of the presidency can be used to pursue individual vendettas. Behavior of this kind is more to be expected from a royal despot than the elected leader of a constitutional republic. This is the path of #autocracy, not #democracy.”
