I remember growing up, learning about Jewish history, the question always being asked was “how could the Holocaust happen?”
We’re seeing that answered right before our eyes.
Be it cops, politicians, or regular civilians, there are some people who if you give them the tiniest excuse to flex their authority, real or imagined, and curb stomp the fuck out of a stranger they will grab it like Joe Biden on an underage girl.
Everyone else who is not a power-mad asshole stands by wanting to avoid confrontation else they find themselves targeted.
It can happen here. It is happening here. Not to death camp levels, not yet anyway. But the underlying cause is just the same.
While I understand that one can’t actually boil a frog to death starting in cold water (apparently the frog will jump out after a while), one can keep it in the water for a long time as long as the changes are small.
Just hop on this train. It will only be a temporary inconvenience. Uh huh.
