How Hitler dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days. (The article goes into more detail, I highly recommend reading it)

Compare this with what's happening in the USA and pay attention to the parallels!!!

It genuinely took Hitler less than 2 months to put his dictatorship into place, please learn from our history and don't let this happen to your country!

The ICE trucks already being in many cities and Musk openly doing a Nazi salute on the inauguration stage not once, but twice and the crowd cheering should scare the hell out of everyone.

Sometimes, Walt Disney’s relentlessness tested the patience of his closest collaborators. In 1932, he became fixated on securing exclusive use of Technicolor’s brand-new three-color process for the studio’s Silly Symphony animated shorts, part of Disney’s single-minded pursuit of greater realism. But on paper, it didn’t make much business sense. The Technicolor process, writes Neal Gabler, was “three times as much as black-and-white in lab costs and about a fourth more in production costs.” Roy Disney, who managed the company’s books, was “adamantly opposed” to using it.  As was so often the case in his life, Walt won the day and proved that creative ambition could pay off in the long run. The exclusive Technicolor rights, says Becky Cline, put Disney “eons ahead, because he was the only one making these full-color cartoons for several years” — further cementing the Disney brand as one of peerless quality.
