If you have ever witnessed something so unbelievable that you cannot imagine seeing it then you might understand our national dilemma. It is like someone who witnessed what Hitler did. He seemed to go to levels no one on the planet out imagine as the events unfolded through the 30's and 40's. Or the unbelievability about what Japan did at Pearl and how they took over so much territory.
Trump and the GOP is the same way. They find new ways to shock and stun us every day.

Those interviewed said each incremental step was followed by an even more surprising, shocking step, so that the previous step was seen, in retrospect, not as bad as the current one. Thus step by step, what went before was normalized, became the event to compare to the next outrage.
and the propaganda about "fake news" as, over time, legitimate news was silenced.
So in a gradual, then quicker fashion, the systems of civilization were taken over, many of the objectors fled the country or were killed.
a reminder that Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933, he had 6 years to consolidate internal power before he started gobbling up neighboring countries.
