K-9 Posted Monday at 05:53 PM Report Posted Monday at 05:53 PM This appeared in The Atlantic, but it’s behind a paywall. However news outlets have reported on it and I’ve heard it’s making the rounds on subreddits. I’m linking the MSN article. I think it’s pertinent given who is being sworn in today, Project 2025, and the people he’s chosen for positions in his administration. To anyone who thinks that could never happen here, think again. Democracies die when we go to sleep and take it for granted. I submit that’s where we are currently. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/historian-reveals-how-hitler-dismantled-democracy-in-less-than-two-months/ar-AA1xbNBe#

Given what he was saying at the same time it appears to be an overzealous “my heart goes out to you” gesture. Poor taste though.

Given the dog whistling over the last decade I don’t really trust the explanation. 1
