inety-two years ago this month, on Monday morning, January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed the 15th chancellor of the Weimar Republic. In one of the most astonishing political transformations in the history of democracy, Hitler set about destroying a constitutional republic through constitutional means. What follows is a step-by-step account of how Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes in less than two months’ time—specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes. The minutes, as we will see, mattered.
Hans Frank served as Hitler’s private attorney and chief legal strategist in the early years of the Nazi movement. While later awaiting execution at Nuremberg for his complicity in Nazi atrocities, Frank commented on his client’s uncanny capacity for sensing “the potential weakness inherent in every formal form of law” and then ruthlessly exploiting that weakness. quote the Atlantic article

Wait until you hear about all these unelected bureaucrats who make one hundred times more laws to restrict our freedoms than actual elected representatives.
Or President Biden who hands out billions to foreign nations without representatives having any say! Acting like a dictator.

NOPE.....just a piece of information I ran across, which seemed scary as shit.
I don't get it. Hitler is dead and has been dead for a long time. Who or what are you afraid of now and why? Posting articles without a comment is lame AF.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
What a blessing that the framers of our federal charter kept the ability to change the federal charter out of the hands of the elected officials serving in the federal legislature and required any change to that charter to have the blessings of 75% of the sovereign States that comprise this republic.
So, no worries HA, what happened in Germany can't happen here . . . unless the collectivists hoping to undermine the federal Constitution are successful in turning our representative republic into some form of democracy that is.

Just free form thinking....possibilities r endless....outcomes can be modified.
Meanwhile communists like Maduro lock up opposition candidates who actually won their elections. Will President Trump help to restore Democracy in Venezuela?
