There are too many stark similarities between the birth of Nazi Germany and America's MAGA administration to be a coincidence.

The Germans know.

When the Germans are worried that America is becoming an autocracy under Trump--people need to pay attention. After all, they've seen all this before.

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has Germany’s diplomatic corps bracing for what it sees as a deliberate dismantling of United States democratic norms.

A confidential memorandum written by Andreas Michaelis, Germany's ambassador to the U.S., warns of an agenda of “maximum disruption” that could redefine the American constitutional order.

The document, obtained by Reuters and addressed to German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, outlines stark concerns about the erosion of democratic norms under Trump’s second administration.

Michaelis describes Trump’s vision as one focused on the “maximum concentration of power with the president at the expense of Congress and the [U.S.] states.” According to the document, key democratic institutions, including the legislature, law enforcement and the media, risk an erosion of their independence and could be “misused as a political arm.” 

The memo also highlights the involvement of Big Tech companies, which Michaelis claims could be granted “co-governing power.” [...] The briefing memo underscores Trump’s reliance on the judiciary to advance his goals. Michaelis notes that the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decisions to expand presidential powers could enable Trump to bypass traditional checks and balances. [...] The document further raises concerns about Trump’s ability to exploit legal loopholes for political ends. These include potentially using the military domestically in cases of “insurrection” or “invasion,” an act that could test the boundaries of the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which generally bars military involvement in law enforcement. [...] Meanwhile, Musk is accused of manipulating algorithms and blocking accounts critical of his platform. The ambassador warns of a “redefinition of the First Amendment,” suggesting a troubling merger of political and technological influence.

David Moye at HuffPost:

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump attempted to do crowd control at a Friday rally in Walker, Michigan. Well, he wasn’t trying to control the crowd as much as he was trying to control any messaging about people leaving the event early. Rally size is something that is important to Trump — so important that he became agitated during a Sept. 10 presidential debate when Democratic rival Kamala Harris bluntly said that “people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.” In Walker, Trump attempted to explain why rallygoers seemed to be leaving his event. “The people that you see leaving? Because nobody ever leaves,” the former president said. “And when they do, I finish up quick.”

Dementia DonOld cluelessly insists that people leaving his rallies early aren’t leaving early, but evidence reveals otherwise.

Disney+ having the presidential debate between Harris and Trump available for replay is hilarious to me. Wanna watch the Temu version of Palpatine get humiliated yet again with the entire family?

The one good thing about the red hats and trump yard signs IS I NOW KNOW WHERE ALL THE NAZI’s LIVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

Alright… now that everything’s happened. How are we doing my fellow Americans?

Are we feeling okay? I personally have cried twice.

These are trying times, and they will be for a while. But everything ends. One day we will make it to the end of an era, it may just be a small one. Like the era of Trump. But it could also be an end to an era of neo-n@zis and hate. The sun is warm, and we WILL feel the light again.

Keep your head up, just keep swimming. Keep your head above water. They can’t drown us out if we don’t let them.
