phylodog, you hit the nail on the head. I have been considering the similarities of this election to the rise of Hitler and the NAZIs in the '30s. The irrational support of a significant portion of our population for leaders which quite literally espouse and have a decades long track record of action they abhor, while demonizing anyone who disagrees is beyond disturbing. The video of Kitty Werthmann at the 2013 "Eagle Forum strikes me as relevant and after this election as prophetic.
Mein Kampf clearly laid out Hitler's vision. Reportedly nearly all connected citizens in Germany had a copy, usually on the coffee table where it could be seen. All to many were willing to proudly wear the NAZI pin on their clothes.
Replace NAZI with the Democratic Party, Mein Kampf with the Democratic platform and demonization of the undesirables (us) by the Brown Shirts with AntiFA, Twitter, Facebook, and the avowed communists within our nation and the parallels are terrifying.
This is the result of an effective campaign of propaganda by the enemies of the Constitution both foreign and domestic centered first on the main stream media and higher education, and subsequently with the power of Social Media and the algorithms they use to manipulate users.
Without a massive shock to the Nation, I see no hope of Constitutional principals surviving. There would have to be an event so universally impactful to the general populace that they were forced to reflect upon their liberty and what the loss of it would mean to them. I just don't see it happening, even in an economic collapse.
This exactly. The particular old dirty, corrupt white man about to take office is okay, because he has a copy of the Woke Manifesto on his figurative coffee table.
