How the fuck can they say “nobody is paying attention”? We’re paying attention, it’s just half the country doesn’t give a shit. Seriously, people at Trump rallies have been chanting “Dictator day one.” Polls have shown that his supporters like his language.

And there is the really scary part. Mimicking 1930s Germany.

This isn't new. They went full fascist years ago. The only problem is that the media isn't reporting it as such nearly enough. They're willing to pretend he's working in a democratic system, and that he'll continue to do so. He won't. He said so. He should be completely disqualified from running.

It’s like we’re on a lazy river to Nazi town and nothing can stop it, and I can’t understand why.
