with about 36% of the vote in 1932. It was still Germany, it had Octoberfest, people still worked, had pets raised families, but it was all different. We've lost this country. It's still America, but it's different. We will still have the super bowl, American idol, uber wealthy, but our country is no longer a democratic America. Keep safe. Do what you can. Put up a good fight. Per Mark Twain; 'History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes'.
