    Oh, they can go quite a bit further. We haven’t seen them outwardly doing the entire Hitler/Mussolini thing yet, but we’re getting close. The rhetoric is similar, but the actions aren’t quite as bad yet.

        eh again, I know it’s hip to say America now is Nazi Germany but it’s not quite at that point yet. It’s like late 20s but not even early 30s yet because there isn’t the same level of widespread violence as there was in the early 30s between fascists, communists, and anarchists.

        Again, I’d say the rhetoric is very much there, which is terrifying, but it’s not quite as bad yet in actions. The fact that we can even have this type of conversation is terrifying too.

          Sure, but there’s a difference between what Hegseth wants to do and has the tattoos to prove it and what orders will be obeyed.
