Heil Trump! 100 years on repeat.

This might make you pause and think, "No way—that could NEVER happen again!" But let’s look more closely, because the similarities are alarmingly real. Germany didn’t turn into Nazi Germany overnight; it was a slow descent, almost imperceptible at first. You may have heard the analogy of a frog in a pot of water, where the temperature rises so gradually that the frog doesn’t realize it’s being boiled alive until it’s too late. That’s what happened in Nazi Germany—and it’s what we risk today in the United States if we don’t pay attention to the warning signs.

In the early 1930s, many Germans, including Jewish citizens, dismissed Hitler as a passing phenomenon. They thought he was just a fringe figure—a "spook" who would fade away. They believed his extremist views wouldn’t gain traction. But Hitler’s appeal grew as he presented himself as a charismatic leader promising to restore Germany’s glory. His message was simple: make Germany great again. Sound familiar?

With the world reeling from the Great Depression, Hitler gained widespread support through his protectionist economic policies, offering a vision of economic relief and national revival. Many Germans, desperate for stability, ignored the darker, insidious rhetoric that came with his promises. Today, millions of Americans, feeling left behind by globalization and the rise of the tech economy, similarly turn to promises of economic revival and national pride. Like in 1930s Germany, the allure of quick fixes to complex problems can make people overlook the dangerous ideologies lurking beneath the surface.

One of Hitler’s key strategies was to undermine core democratic institutions, eroding public trust in Germany’s legal and political framework. We’re seeing echoes of this in Donald Trump’s actions. As both a candidate and a former president, Trump has repeatedly undermined the credibility of institutions when they don’t align with his interests—the courts, the electoral process, even the certification of an election. His rhetoric suggests that any institution not serving his goals is suspect, creating a divide in the public’s trust in these democratic systems.

A hallmark of Trump’s approach has been his relentless attack on the media, branding it as “fake news” whenever it criticizes him or his policies. The Nazis used a similar tactic, calling independent journalists the “Lügenpresse,” or "lying press." In both cases, this tactic seeks to sow doubt about any information that challenges the leader’s narrative. By discrediting the media, both Hitler and Trump attempt to shape reality to fit their own agendas, isolating their followers from independent sources of truth.

Scapegoating minorities has also been a disturbing common thread. Hitler blamed Jewish people for Germany's economic problems, stirring up public resentment against them as the "internal enemies" of the nation. Trump has similarly focused on specific groups, notably undocumented immigrants, portraying them as the root of America's economic and social issues. He has created a crisis around illegal immigration, expanding the role of ICE to target this group, often painting them as threats to safety, jobs, and stability. Today, similar tactics are being used against transgender individuals, who represent a tiny fraction of the population but have become a focal point of political and social resentment. Trump's rhetoric fuels these hostilities, using marginalized communities as scapegoats to rally support and divert attention from more complex issues.

Furthermore, Hitler relied on affiliated militias like the SA and SS to intimidate opponents and enforce Nazi ideology. Trump, while not formally organizing militias, has encouraged self-recruiting groups and militias, famously asking them to “stand by” during moments of tension, as seen during the January 6th Capitol riot. His cozy relationships with authoritarian leaders, like Putin, echo the alliances between Hitler and Mussolini, reinforcing the dangerous allure of authoritarianism.

The situation today may even be more dangerous because of technology. In the past, hateful rhetoric and propaganda required physical presence at rallies or the reading of pamphlets. Now, hateful content—whether anti-Semitic, anti-trans, or racist—finds its way to people’s screens, reaching millions in an instant. Algorithms amplify divisive content, pushing more extreme narratives into the mainstream, often without individuals even seeking it out.

It’s easy to believe that “it could never happen here,” but history shows that democracy is fragile, and small shifts in public sentiment, unchecked power, and targeted scapegoating can lead to devastating consequences. The parallels between Germany’s descent into Nazism and aspects of today’s political culture are a reminder of the importance of vigilance, empathy, and a commitment to protecting democratic values before it’s too late.

This is insanity! So this just shows how Jewish is a religion & not a race! This white woman with blonde hair & blue eyes played in the Olympics because she had blonde hair & blue eyes & she could pass as “Aryan” whatever Hilter weird a** named white people who was Catholic or Christian *rolling my eyes*! And her doing the Nazi salute could not have saved her “family in the camps” smh going to an Olympics game was not worth that disgusting salute & disrespect to the Jews who was in labor camps even back in 1936. Ugh but this shows that being Jewish is a religion & you can be Jewish anywhere it’s not a race. But the people in Palestine is Palestinian & they cannot be Palestinians anywhere else but Palestine.

Jewish is a religion not a RACE! I am tired of this narrative that’s been in the world for years! It’s sad that the Jews in Israel just think they can take land from people because America & Britain said “okay take this piece of land the Muslims don’t matter there” and the Palestinians fought in WWII on Hilter said because they was upset of the British taking over their land after WWI! Smh the world politics is a mess!

Children whose hearts have been wrenched out by fear...

This enemy has spared no method of death without subjecting us to it in this genocide. No weapon or means has been left untried. Yet dying in terror and fear remains an ongoing crime that haunts our children, mercilessly tearing apart their tender hearts.

- "The child Tamim Dawood's heart stopped out of fear after a residential building near his home in Gaza was targeted."

- "The child Rayan Suleiman, 7 years old, collapsed and his heart stopped as he fled in terror from the occupation forces after they stormed his school in Bethlehem."

- "The child Rahaf Abu Swayrih, 4 years old, suffered cardiac arrest out of fear following a bombing near her home in Nuseirat."

- "The infant Nada Ismail Kabajah, who had not yet reached her first birthday, suffered cardiac arrest out of fear due to a violent airstrike near the shelter she had fled to."

- "The baby Alaa Al-Badrasawi's heart stopped out of fear after a violent airstrike struck near her home."
