    Everything really is all the same to you isn’t it. You can’t see any degree of separation.

      Did you happen to see the video of Trump and Obama yukking it up together at Jimmy Carter’s funeral? This was, what, mere weeks after consistently making Trump/Hitler comparisons.

      I think if you look at the practices I described above and how they’ve escalated and become normalized over time, across multiple Democratic and Republican presidencies, that yes, it’s hard to come to a reasonable conclusion that there’s a meaningful difference between what’s happening now and what happened in the 2000’s and 2010’s.

      And that’s particularly true because Obama and Bush were re-elected and thus rewarded for escalating fascism in America.

      The only difference is that we’re getting a closer view to it and the information isn’t coming out in leaked or declassified documents. It’s always been just as sensational as the video we saw yesterday.
