Patrick Crusius, the El Paso killer, is exactly the same type of young, who in early 1930s Germany

[vlyons]

put on a brown shirt and pants, swastika arm band, and roamed the streets in gangs, beating up unarmed citizens, who didn't return their Nazi salute. Same types, who smashed up Jewish shops, and later went house to house rounding up Jews and shoving them into transport trucks.

Oh, but that could never happen here in America, could it? How long before Trump suspends habeas corpus?

1. Is this still America?

I thought it was Amerikkka. To quote Michael Moore, "Dude, where's my country?".

2. A German author recently wrote...

That the United States is where Germany was in the 1930’s, where one third of the population had been convinced to hate and want the elimination of another third while the last third stood by and watched.

5. We have been there my entire adult life

Going back to the early 90s when the Gingrich revolution kicked in.

Matter of degrees.

45 didnt just happen. He is the result of decades of right wing brain washing.

10. What do we do?

This question has been a topic of conversation with friends and family. What do we--the third of us who are standing by watching--DO?

Most of us are horrified and scared. But, what do we DO?
If voting is rigged, if civil protests are ignored--or worse, the fourth branch is silenced, what do we do?

We count on our Democracy to maintain itself. But, those in government from the top to the courts, are corrupt. We can no longer depend on our three branches to stave off these attacks on our Democracy.

What do we do?

3. No question about it

We are now like 1930 Germany, Hitler inspired hate with his rallies, this is following a pattern. It is scary that it has been said that Trump kept a copy of Mein Kampf by his bedside, as did his father who was an ardent fan of Hitler.

7. Trump doesn't read

The only knowledge he would have of Mein Kampf is what his daddy read to him at night instead of bedtime stories.

9. I think it is Stephen Miller who read that book every night, it must be by his bedside

I don't know that the creature has enough brain to comprehend any of it. I am sure the hate that was instilled by his father lives in him, and the bitterness of never being accepted in New York's elite society is also alive and well inside him.
I think deep down he knows he is a classless idiot and he cannot live with that, he takes out on other people all that bitterness, until the day someone has enough guts to hit him hard, then he will run into a corner like the coward he is.

He must be impeached, same with Barr and McConnell. Stephen Miller must be exposed to the public, all his evil must be documented and shown on a daily basis for people to understand where most of the evil comes from.

4. Wait until they get organized.

Between El Paso and Dayton I’m beginning to wonder if that’s not happening already. Probably not, but the thought crossed my mind.

6. Please! Do NOT MENTION HIS NAME if you can possibly avoid doing so.

8. Patrick appears to be a poster boy

for the "white anxiety" movement stoked by Donald Trump in order to get elected and maintain his support. Similar to the Brownshirts -- without the brown shirts.

Jews (and Mexicans) will not replace them.
