The current leader is a convicted felon, ultranationalist, anti-communist and anti-foreign, and is ultra pro-business. The current leader wants laws that bypass the Constitution. The current leader encouraged violence to get his way. The current leader believes in spreading lies and hate. The current leader wants to take over other nations.

So … I want to know when the people of 1930s Germany should have done something. I need to know because I am feeling like it’s 1933 all over again. I am scared and feel I need to do something.
