People wonder how the Nazis were able to do the things they did. This is how. Cowards fell in line and obeyed.

The only thing nec­es­sary for the tri­umph of evil is for good men to do noth­ing.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

They won't go to war. Trump likes to look tough and pretend he's a powerful leader. He needs an ego boost after all the negative press about him fucking underage girls and poor jobs outlooks.

American food safety checks have nearly stopped now that the FDA has been cut so bad|y. They can't even follow up on investigating reports anymore.

If you think things are bad now, then, brace yourself: it is about to get a whole lot worse. If you are alarmed at the speed with which the Trump administration has set about dismantling every institution of American government and every pillar of the international order, you must understand that this is not just the initial burst of activity, the “shock and awe” phase after which things will settle down: if anything, the pace will continue to accelerate.

The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron, all in the same person. Whatever the purpose to which he directs these powers – to impress his dictator friends, to further enrich himself and his cronies, to seize absolute power or just to watch the world burn – we must hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
