I was like half paying attention during our WW2 history lessons and the parallels between the USA today and the formation of Nazi Germany is clear as day. Whoever can't see it was probably fast asleep during each class.

There's people out there who genuinely only think it's ok to call something fascism or genocide retrospectively when it's achieved its goals.

We can't call it fascism yet because they aren't literally killing gay people in camps yet.

They won't believe it because it isn't an exact parallel replica of Nazi Germany because obviously. Everything is different, were 100 years in the future, it's a different country.

It's illegal to extrapolate what's going on and draw obvious parallels unless literally the exact same thing happens the same way.

Please, if you believe otherwise tell me I'm wrong
