My upbringing and reality are slightly different from many here because starting at age 3, I was among survivors of the Nazi holocaust and saw with my eyes the video of the crimes against humanity at age 5 when Eisenhower broadcast Nazi camp films on TV. My first association with what bulldozers can push is different from yours.

What is normal about America today includes regular school shootings and a growing criminalization of millions of people who support ICE and their capture, shackling, shaving, and torturing of many immigrants and a few citizens. In Nazi Germany, the criminals achieved a majority. In America, people are becoming accustomed to billionaires who are not equal under the law.

Where we could be heading is worse than the Third Reich in its longevity and severity. What is not taught is not merely forgotten.
A man who tightens a bolt in a car assembly line is said to build cars. A MAGA follower posting a meager death threat is supporting a vast death machine. Culpability is even accomplished with silence.
