teabaggers to terrorists in 8 years

[Marthe48]

Does this awful progression mirror the timeline of the rise of hitler? Or any other modern tyrant?

And if the terrorists who are pretending to be trump's foot soldiers want to fight, why the hell don't they join the Army? Or the blackwater mercenary forces? Or the foreign legion?

Is our military going to defend the Constitution of the U.S.? Or will they defend the monster in the White House?

1. Don't forget the groups that heavily financed the tea party from the beginning

2. yes, pretty closely.

Hitler was appointed chancellor in 1933. He started his rise in the 1920's holding political rallies, electrifying crowds, using pretty much the same things Trump did. That is nationalism, anti-semitism, the concept of being a superior country and race.
He started rising in the worker party, in the early 1920's. He came to power via elections and then once he got there, we all know how it ended.


from wikipedia:

adolf Hitler rose to a place of prominence in the early years of the party. Being one of the best speakers of the party, he told the other members to either make him leader of the party or he would never return. He was aided in part by his willingness to use violence in advancing his political objectives and to recruit party members who were willing to do the same. The Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923 and the later release of his book Mein Kampf (Translation: My Struggle) introduced Hitler to a wider audience.

Its erringly similar to Trump.
