(3,027 posts)Hitler, like Trump, started with a few "out groups" and, seeing how simple it was to get away with mass murdering them, he advanced his idea to encompass everyone, potentially. And he did, in fact, use his ICE troops to snatch people off the street and disappear them. (Oh, wait, did I say ICE? Of course I meant its father, the Gestapo.
Your well-taken point is that without constantly ramming home the comparison, the assault on Democracy is allowed to continue, without the vilification it requires.
The SCOTUS -- and Roberts SCOTUS is the worst in our history, the most shamefacedly partisan Court in our history. By allowing ICE to profile hispanics, these bastards -- and bastardette -- knowingly and eagerly opened the door for their favorite "president" to use his absolute power to arrest, detain, and deport or literally kill anyone he dislikes.
And this is not in any degree an exaggeration. The boa constrictor, as Shel Silverstein reminds us, starts at your feet, nibbling a bit at your toes and ankles, but it never, never stops there. It gradually moves up until it has consumed the entire body. What was the tag line of the song?
"Oh, dread, its up to my . . . ."
