But in a way it helps me understand better firsthand exactly how the Nazis rose to power and then took over, and there was little issue from the populace when the "undesirables" were rounded up (many even helping). It's disturbing what just two years of fear porn and propaganda can do to such a large part of the populace

    I think this finding goes very well hand in hand with some previous studies that show Republicans are far more likely to understand the real stats of the pandemic whilst Democrats tend to believe it is many times worse than it is, in some cases being off by a factor of 10 or more.
    At the turn of the new year, over at Daily Wire Dennis Prager (conservative Jew and reluctant Trumper) posted an article that comprised a collection of his observations over the past year+.

    Two especially caught my eye:

    JAN. 5: These past few years have taught me not to so quickly judge the quiet Germans, Russians, etc. Of course, I still judge Germans who helped the Nazis and Germans who in any way hurt Jews. But the Germans who did nothing? Not so fast.

    What has changed my thinking has been watching what is happening in America (and Canada and Australia and elsewhere, for that matter). The ease with which tens of millions of Americans have accepted irrational, unconstitutional and unprecedented police-state-type restrictions on their freedoms, including even the freedom to make a living, has been, to understate the case, sobering.


    Even though coming months later, I think this one is related:

    NOV. 23: All my life, I thought love and hate were the two most powerful human emotions. But owing to recent events, I have changed my mind. I now understand that for most people, fear is the strongest emotion.

        I agree that is not good. But there are also those on the right asking when they get to take up arms against those they disagree with.

        The greater danger, by far, is the current GOP and the culture of personality it has become. The world is not black and white, only good and only evil. But when a force as destructive as what the current GOP is appears, it is time for those who disagree on lesser things to put down the lesser grievances and join together to make things right, to stop that which is a threat to everyone.

          This thread is about those claiming the democrats are seeking totalitarian rule. My comment is countering that the threat of totalitarian rule is greater from the GOP, which has become a personality cult. Now I suppose if it would make you happier I could refrain from mentioning the name of the oersonality whose cult it is.

          The simple reality btc is that the democrats are not centered around any single individual leader or personality. The Republicans are. And that will tend to drive any discussion of GOP policy or goals in the direction of the singular person defining those policies and goals.

            That's..... not even remotely historically accurate.And your TDS obsession is noted and rejected with prejudice.

                  It is precisely accurate ... as accurate as a single sentence can be anyway. You just don't like the simple truth it tells.

                      Thank you. It was, after all, a single sentence drawing on the specific parallels of that early time in Hitler's rise to power.

                        Your fear of GOP is paranoia and delusion, as others have redundantly pointed out to you. Your interpenetration of what it is exactly is also skewed by your delusion. The political populist right doesn't have the backing of the state (they don't even really have the backing of the establishment right -- i.e the Cheneys, neocons, etc). In fact, they never had it even when Trump was elected, much less now. The political party with full backing of the state, both government and corporate, is the most dangerous party. Furthermore, this is the same party advocating rounding up their political opposition as undesirables.

                              I notice you have not had one word to say about the opening post and the authoritarianism supported by a significant number of Democrat voters, such as putting the unvaccinated in concentration camps, or placing their children in the custody of the state. One could get the impression that you actually support that kind of insanity. Do you?

                              Look, Trump is yesterday's news. It's time to open your eyes and see the danger that is facing us here and now.
