        It took Hitler 1 year to get there. And he had already hunted down the opposition.

        Trump has been there for 7 months and hasn’t sent any prominent members of the opposition to jail AFAIK.

          There were plenty in the first term. Remember The Mooch lasting just a few days?

          But large amounts of the American population have been Nazi-adjecent at the very least since its conception…

          Bolton became his opposition after Trump’s first term. They aren’t going straight to executions, but they are starting to take action on the dissenters.

        Or how it consolidates under a more unified ideology. E.g. the Nazis purging the SA during the Night of the Long Knives.

          In the short term sure, but they keep going and replacing anyone competent with yes men.

            Depending on what example you’re looking at, that “short-term” can be anywhere from years to decades.

        One must be careful to not go after those who may have connections to remedy the problem.

      Bolton has been to the “outside” of Trump for some time. This is a case of the administration going after enemies.

          YES! That’s the takeaway here. It’s not like Trump turned on an ally.
