    Did WWII end before Hitler died? He seemed to think so given the gaping hole he put in his own head. I honestly think if Trump were to die tomorrow, very little would change. I think if he was assassinated you would see a response that would make the one to 9/11 look tame. If he’d been put in jail after Jan 6, maybe the direction of things would have changed, but I expect things will get a lot worse before they get better. As a non-American, my fervent hope is they eat themselves like a cancer and don’t spread to the rest of the world. In the meantime, I’ll watch my own backyard and do what little I can to stem the tide where I live.

      Fascism is doing a great job bubbling up in Canada all by itself.

      Comparing what is going on today with what happened in World War II is going to give a whole bunch of false conclusions. Sure, there are some similarities.

      I think the biggest mistake that someone on the left can do is to think that The right will eventually eat themselves. That isn’t going to happen this time. Direct action is required from multiple angles, an encouraging people to be nice to fascists is supporting fascists
