'I'm A Holocaust Survivor—Trump's America Feels Like Germany Before Nazis Took Over'
" Newsweek. “There’s a real problem growing.”" “Things just go from bad to worse every day,” Jacobs, a successful New York architect who designed the Holocaust memorial at Buchenwald, tells Newsweek. “There’s a real problem growing.”
So much so that Jacobs thinks there’s a “direct parallel” with Germany between the two world wars.
Perhaps more alarming than the far-right getting braver is the seep into mainstream politics of their hate, their talking points, their rhetoric. “It feels like 1929 or 1930 Berlin,” Jacobs says, ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day 2018 on Thursday.
“Things that couldn’t be said five years ago, four years ago, three years ago—couldn’t be said in public—are now normal discourse. It’s totally unacceptable. "
You will notice the conservatives' responses to your OP ignore the fact that it is the right-wingers in this country who are now following the idiot trump's lead, and embracing the Nazis and other white supremacist groups.
Their responses to your OP attempt to transfer the conservatives' own hatred for non-whites, non-Christians, immigrants (legal or not) and women to progressives and liberals. That act is, itself, a well established characteristic of Nazis and other fascist organizations.
It is gratifying how often the conservatives' own words validate a progressive's OP and the article(s) referenced.
Any reply to the garbage conservatives post is a waste of time, as their racism and bigotry are deeply ingrained in their repressive mindset.

Bullshit. I'm about as right-wing as they come and I'm 110% pro-Israel. Still trying to put people in little boxes? You know that's why you lost the election to Donald Trump, don't you?
