Wake up America, the GOP is our Nazi Party and Trump our Hitler. We need to remove these traitors from office and brand them so they never hold power again.
Yep! Cutting VA healthcare is cruel, triggering, and further demonstrates that Trump and his fascist administration are NOT interested in efficiency and they do not care about our military members or veterans. They are interested in money.
Billionaires do NOT care if crucial VA programs are being cut. They just want to extract money from U.S. taxpayers after giving themselves another tax break with these cuts. Remember that billionaires don’t need health insurance. They can afford to pay cash for health services and often their healthcare providers come to them…it’s called concierge healthcare…look it up. Billionaires are not people who have any idea what the average person, much less the average veteran household, goes through to receive healthcare.
I’m not sure if the politicians voting for these VA cuts fully appreciate the dangers of the “find out” phase of this decision. If veterans are unable to get proper mental healthcare, it could lead to a series of truly horrific outcomes for veterans and their family members. As noted in the video, there are some people who suffer from severe PTSD and are treated at the VA. Without proper, timely care, they could quickly become unstable and present a danger to themselves or others. This is not a threat. This is meant as a warning to the seriousness of the decision.
Trump, his administration and any representative or senator that votes in favor of these cuts must be the one’s held fully responsible for any negative outcomes that occur following cuts to VA services. There can be zero excuses or exceptions. They must take full accountability for their votes.
I hope somone is keeping lists of names, speaches, comments, votes, and actions by which they have declared: their participation and support in the unilateral surrender of the people to autocratic and dictatorial government; the dismantling of the lawful protections of the Constitution; and their failure to protect the United States Government of the people “from enemies foreign and domestic.” During WWII the “resistance” in occupied countries called them “collaborators”, and they remembered.
Thanks so much for posting this. Definite restack. I have a lot of respect for him. What happens when you see the WHOLE world, not just the tiny skewed view of what so many think is #1
Thank you and lessons are to be learned of the rot that can take hold from within. When we start shutting down universities, banning books, closing federal departments that protect us, sorting out “others” in our society and a whole host of other alerts to outright fascism, we are in trouble.
My Dad served in WWII he and my mom had me late in life and we discussed this alot. I see the red flags. I worked with a nurse who survived and spoke how horrible all this was.
Wow. That really gives my overactive mind some more doom to consider. It’s terrifying but very thought provoking and such an insight into what it was like during that transition. Rick Steves is one of our national treasures!
The US census estimated 1.7 million in 2021-22 and 2.8 million in 2023-2024. Are you able to verify where Fox News came up with the 7.2 million number?

You said it — Now we have to figure out how to make it so!!!
I’ve always loved Rick Steves, but now I love and appreciate him even more!! Thank you, Rick! 🌎🌍🌏❤️
Rick Steve’s documentary on European Fascism is excellent viewing!
Thank you Sir for this!

Trump?
I just appreciate this so much. Such a quiet, thoughtful statement that is so powerful.

Yes, I agree, Marla. I wish we could all see how deeply connected we all are, how relatively tiny our planet it, how we’re all in it together.

Well put
Wow! I love Rick more after this impactful quickie from Berlin.
This is so important to listen and let it settle in. It's happening.
A history lesson that is absolutely terrifying because it’s exactly what’s taking place again. Yes, history does repeat itself.

Stop swallowing phelgm.
No one cared about the VA when we imported the illegals..

Yawn. Of course it's Faux "news"
FACT check and look at all sources.... FOX news us feeding you misinformation and you are buying it.
Well said, Rick.
THIS SHOULD BE IN EVERY CLASSROOM ACROSS THIS LAND, ON EVERY TV CHANNEL, IN EVERY ELECTION ROOM EVERYWHERE
So well said! Thank you for this powerful piece of history!
