It seems that the MAGA movement is earily similar to what I learned about the Nazis before Hitler took office? Like blind obedience and hatred toward certain groups? Or am I wrong? Why? (self.askhistorians)

The 2nd Weimar Republic has fallen. Americans should never again question how Hitler came to power.

People say this to sound cool but they don't think it through.

All watching it happen in real time has done is made it more clear that it still makes no sense.

I agree that it makes no sense, especially if you are a casual observer like so many. But I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was the exact plan from the moment Jan 6 failed.

Make no mistake, the coup is complete. Nobody did what was necessary to prevent it.
