I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.

But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

"As concentration camps become more common, they will offend fewer people — and they will be called normal."

That line haunts me because too many things that would have offended everyone just a few years ago are now part of the daily news & ignored.
