1924: Hitler is convicted for an attempted coup of the government known as the Beer Hall Putsch. He would go on to ascend to power some 9 years later, using the government to convict his political opponents, ban gay and trans people, and conduct a genocide on the Jewish people as he had said that he would.
2024: Donald Trump is convicted of multiple felonies, and is tried in more, including one for his attempted coup of the government on January 6th. He openly states that he intends to pardon himself and his cronies, ban trans people, restrict women’s right to choose, use the federal government to convict his political opponents, and help Israel “finish the job” in conducting a genocide in Gaza.
Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Do not placate yourself: the man has already told us what he intends to do.
