History Buffs: What year of German history do we resemble?

[Enraged_Ape]

And why? Show your work.

Note that all dates in the poll are prior to the ghettoes and death camps.

1. 1934...

... solidification of position as dictator (chimpy's new 'mandate' mirrors this).

[Enraged_Ape]

2. I agree. When I asked this question last year, I got 1933.

With a marriage ban in the works next year, we're looking at 1935. Uncanny, huh? Seems like we're right on schedule.

[Jack_DeLeon]

5. That would seem to be the case.

9/11 = the fire
11/3 = Bush = Supreme Leader

[catbert836]

3. kik!

[DrWeird]

4. I'd say 1935.

Consolidation of power sure, 1934, but that whole marriage thing is there too. Two birds.

[smirkymonkey]

6. Reichstag Fire? That was September 11th!

We are much further along the trajectory by now.

[Taverner]

7. Think Franco's Spain - a lot more similarities

[Enraged_Ape]

8. It's the closeness of the German timeline that strikes me

People tend to forget that the death camps came much later in the Nazi regime. What fresh hell does Bush have in store for us in three or four more years that we can't even imagine now?

9. Funny..

Somebody at work yesterday told me that all of us anti-Bush folks were going to be put in internment camps.

That was the only thing that got me through the day yesterday. Almost everybody on my aisle of cubes felt the same way I did. And I work for a big defense company.

10. 1933---Time to get out before it's too late.

Really, that's how I feel. Get out before they start "concentrating us"---progressives, GLBT.

[seraph]

11. 1934

Next year will be 1935 with the Marriage Ban.

Very scary times we are in. I am waiting for the "freeptard ss" to show up at my door.


OMG, that is hysterical... so sorry.. freeptards couldn't figure out how to put on the uniform to be SS.

[malmapus]

12. hehe

too many belts and straps on those uniforms..they would hang themselves first

[FatSlob]

13. This is absurd.

[Enraged_Ape]

14. Thanks for that cogent, sensitive analysis

I am swooning over your powers of insight and reasoning.

[FatSlob]

18. Thanks for the compliment.

I glad that you agree with me.

[Enraged_Ape]

19. You're welcome!

:toast:

[Bucky]

15. 1872

We just won a big one and the autocratic, plutocratic existing order has been validated. But we are digging our own grave. We are corrupting the people with delusions of invulnerability. The true reckoning may stil be two generations away and there is still time to fix the course. But we are making long term mistakes and enshrining our arrogance in the hearts of the people.

16. The American version of

Krystallnacht will begin on the night of Jan.20, 2005

Lock your doors and hide the children all you fags, non-believers, intellectuals, lie-berals, tree-huggers, blue-staters, bush-bashers, and in general, all who are not drinking the kool-aid.
The Freeptards are coming to get you.


:nuke:

[Huckebein the Raven]

17. 1935...the Nuremburg laws have been formed

[Kellanved]

20. none

Germany never had 200 years of democracy, never mind one nation(!) going for more than 60 years. Also, there never was a strong puritan movement :P .
