There is always the myth that no one resisted Nazi Germany.
But 130,000 Germans were arrested in Adolf Hitler's first 3 months in power.
70,000 Austrians in the first 3 days when he invaded.
And nearly 2m Germans overall.
They just didn't resist early and hard enough.

Donald Trump is scared out of his mind that Republicans are going to lose the House in the midterms, if not sooner given how fast things are unraveling, which is why he’s accelerating his authoritarian and fascist plans at a pace we’ve never seen before. This isn’t confidence, it’s panic.
