No don’t change the title.

It stands as a warning that Trumps folly will be as disastrous as Hitlers.

If we’re lucky he’ll head to the bunker early. And take his pet dog; JD.

I disagree. The early stages of Trump’s deportations are very much comparable to the early stages of what became the holocaust. The thread title is a reminder of what happened before, and of what could happen again.

Not from where I sit. I’m half German. Dad was born in a small town on the Rhine in 1929. He and his kid sister and parents got out 6 weeks before the Kristallnacht. Plenty of my family did NOT.

These fuckwickets are determined to follow the Third Reich’s playbook step by step by step.

Leave the thread title as is. Shed light on the Fourth Reich.

Demeaning. For God’s sake.

Leave the thread title alone.

How hopeful that we might view the Holocaust as a nasty little specimen from the long-dead past preserved in amber, or like the Spanish flu in a chunk of a dead doughboy’s lung encased in paraffin wax. Unfortunately the virus is still mutating and flaring up.

“Never again” does not mean “Always, up to a bright and imagined line”.
