the strongest point breaks, is how a Democracy falls.

Hitlers formula...Destroy all other parties...


And look just who supports this action.

Unbelievable, the justifications given as they blindly follow the dazzling object of the day.

Thanks for your truthful post, pbmus

The so-called democrats (except the socialists) sat on their hands while the communists were banned and their deputies arrested. Then, except for the socialists, they voted for Hitler’s dictatorship after the reichstag fire. Legalism paved the road to Nazi barbarism.

We're not Germany & Hitler isn't here.

This is the method of any dictator hell bent on destroying a Democracy. Any govt hell bent on overthrowing another.
It is what we see in every overthrow of a democratic govt.

The strength is the center. The assault to break it comes from the right & from the left.

It's destruction 101.
Basic

making common cause against Hitler under the idiotic strategy of
“Hitler First, Then Us.”

An idiotic strategy revived by Susan Sarandon (et al) when America faced Trumpism.

They gave him emergency power. There’s a roster of votes. It was the socialists who voted no, and the communists who were under arrest.

A united front is best.
