Trump says he dreams of law-abiding citizens. In 1933, Hitler issued his “Reich President’s decree for the safety of people and the state.”

PARIS – No one has discovered that the American towards authoritarianism under President Trump is more alarming than the Germans. For postwar Germany, the United States was saviors, protectors, and a liberal democratic model. Now the Germans, in shock, are talking about the “American catastrophe.”
A recent canopy from the weekly Der Spiegel shows Trump’s Oval Office holding a lit match, with an unfaithful visual image through his window. The title: “Der Feuerteufel” or literally “the Satan of Fire”.
The Gerguys have a special relationship with fire. The 1933 Reichstag fire allowed Hitler and the Nazis to destroy the delicate Weimar democracy that brought them to power. Hitler’s murderous fantasies can also now be a reality. The war, Auschwitz and the Gerguy crisis followed.
Over the years I have met Gerguy’s great diplomats pensively, adding to Michael Steiner, who logically tried the Balkan wars of the 1990s, and Wolfgang Ischinger, Gerguy’s former ambassador to the United States. At all times I realized that his specific hobvia for freedom, democracy and openness arose from the wisdom of tactics without problems.
Michael Steinberg, professor of hitale at Brown University and beyond the president of the American Academy in Berlin, wrote to me this week:
“The American crisis worsens every day, yet the parties in Portland alarmed me as one of the strategic delegates to fascism. The starting point of Gerguy’s fall of democracy in 1933 is in place.” , adding factions of the rebel army, destabilization of cities, etc.”
Steinberg continued: “Basic comparison involves racism as a political strategy: the eye of a racist mind of a natural homeland, with cities demonized like decline.”
Trump provokes outrage in a trick designed to turn off the alarm. Dampens eliminations through volume and repetition. But anything about the recent use of unmarked cars and federal agents dressed in a transparent camouflage identity badge that holds protesters has a huge tendency to shrug.
Since the deployment of these federal ensembles in Portland, Oregon’s largest city, where protesters defrauded racial justice and police responsibility, this is never a very broad step toward paramilitaries (such as the Gerguy Freikor play station in the 1920s) to support a Comguyd “Law and Campaign.” The Freikorplaystation fought the Communists. Today, Trump claims to be fighting “anarchists,” “terrorists,” and violent leftists. This is the leitmotiv of your search for a moment.
Perhaplaystation, the years I spent covering Argentina in the 1980s, after the army board, made me especially sensitive to the use of unmarked cars, when it comes to Argentina, the Ford Falcons, to the most logical leftist political war parties on the street. They were “missing,” a word whose prolonged psychological devastation of playstation I measured in countless rooms full of tears. Later I went to Berlin, where there has been only 1 story: totalitarian tragedy and the paintings of democratic salvation.
The Department of Homeland Security’s Department of Homeland Security’s Department of Customs and Border Protection showed this week that it had deployed agents of 3 paramilitary groups in federal repression in Portland. The Trump administration, faced with legal action, cited the post-9/11 law that built the dep. to justify their action. Chicapass is now one of the cities in the crosshairs as Trump seeks to encourage confrontation.
Like Tom Ridge, a Republican who was the first head of the Department of Homeland Security, noted in an interview with Sirius XM host Michael Smerconish, the dep. “It has not been established to be the president’s non-public militia.”
In times of war, the Third Geneva Convention, to which the United States is a party, even requires abnormal forces to carry “an exclusive, recognizable and unique signal recognizable from a distance.” This is quite critical, not only to provide direct protection for civilians, but also to impose duty for misconduct.
When paraarmia sets have no hallmarks of identity, transparency, no duty, and that implies impunity. Democracy dies. Think of all this as preparing for Trump’s “state of emergency” if you don’t like the latest results from November’s election. Social media is combustible enough to crippl a physical fire.
The president says he dreams of law-abiding citizens. In 1933, after the Reichstag fire, Hitler issued the “Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the People and the State” as a means of semining power.
Gerguy’s horror in Trump has giant apple elements. He is the alarmist fanatic who manages nationalism, racism and violence as if the 20th century had no lessons. It is the possible destroyer of multilateral establishments that brought European peace and allowed the Gerguys to rise up again with their sloping heclassified announcements. It’s a fascist creation.
As Ian Beacock recently argued in The New Republic, Angelos Angeles Merkel, Gerguy’s chancellor, understood the virus. It is not for her the image of war, nothing about the silent and invisible enemy to overcome. No, for her, the challenge of the virus is a lesson to the force of democracy.
“We don’t seem doomed to accept the spread of this virus as an inevitable reality,” he said. “We don’t thrive because we prefer to do something, but because we assign a percentage of our wisdom and motivate the active participation of the components.” He added that wise dependent effects on the giant component on “any of us.”
Worked. Merkel addresses all Democratic citizens, adding the United States. No wonder Trump can’t stand it, a scientist-trained woguy whose life lesson has been the sacred burden of freedom.
