HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!

Slowly and deliberately. Originally published June 17, 2021

โ€œ there is something far more sinister about these bills.

The real threat is that these bills are quietly setting Republicans up to steal the 2024 Presidential election after failing in 2020. There are steps being taken at all levels of government to make this a reality.โ€

โ€œ A Real Circlejerk: The Big Lie was born from Donald Trump's mouth, but then GOP officials began repeating that lie, then Fox News picked up the lie, then-Republican voters started believing the lie, then elected officials โ€œfollowed the will of their voters,โ€ and the cycle continued.โ€

So What? Who cares if a bunch of people believe an obvious lie?

We can look to history for this answer. In 1923, a young Adolf Hitler led an attempted a coup very similar to January 6. He too tapped into the growing resentment in Germany after WWI, just like the current resentment over inequality.

He failed just like Donald Trump, but when German officials did not take steps to strengthen democracy in the aftermath of the failed coup, we all know what happened after that.
