The most terrifying aspect is how many neighbors, friends, family members, community members, community leaders, co-workers, employers, law enforcement personnel, government officials, & more are so strongly in favor of it.
We're surrounded by treasonous devils calling themselves patriots & saints.
The mistake we make with past villains of history is to assume they're evil geniuses who get ahead through pure cunning. But it turns out that any idiot can appeal to humanity's worst impulses, as long as they have a sufficient amount of shamelessness, and a bit of luck.
These are deeply unserious people who have been given serious power. Part of the reason Newsome's parody is causing such a freak out on the right is because they're shining a bright light on the un-seriousness that our shitty political media has taken great care to paper over.
I don’t like Newsome, but Abby Phillip of that godawful CNN panel show that platforms the true dregs of American society was complaining about Newsome’s tweet stunts. Nice way to show how out of touch you are with the state of things, Abby. You are useless to the cause and I hope you enjoy your highroad to the gulag if the fascists win.
Hitler was like the 3 stooges trying to follow Hitler's playbook. They were just as bumbling and incompetent then, we only have this image of them as suave James Bond villains because of WW2 movies.
Honestly, the India Jones movies generally made them look pretty dumb. It was Indy vs 1 or 2 somewhat competent people and their army of buffoons. Hell, in both Raiders and Last Crusade the bad guys died because of stupid over confidence.

Hitler was not actually very competant at much other than demagogary (sp?)

Most psychopaths aren't extraordinarily competent people.

This is a reminder that most Germans thought Hitler was a joke at the beginning.

If Indiana Jones wasn't in Raiders it would've ended exactly the same assuming they actually found the arc.

Yup, but it's still a fun adventure.
