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.
Of course, but I've always been focused on the GOP in its entirety. I saw this with Nixon's Southern Strategy, the GOP used race to create division since the signing of the Civil Rights Act when Southern conservatives left the Democratic Party for the GOP. The GOP was essentially a libertarian party until then, arguing that the wealthy were more industrious who should lead the country, then it became a fascist party with those conservatives.
"The US Constitution doesn't forbid what Trump is doing."
It does. Trump's authority is limited. Article II limits the executive's authority and Section 3 explicitly states that "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed". So, everything that he did with regard to deporting people without due process is illegal as are the murders of those people on the high seas. Most of what he and the GOP have done is illegal because they chose to willfully violate the clearly worded law of the constitution.
It is clear, the intent of the Constitution. I am suspicious of anyone who is trying to convince people what these people are doing is legal. It is not. They are traitors. We have foreign governments dictating US policy. Numerous foreign governments. All while the US government does everything they can to spread starvation and disease throughout the US population. They are attacking us all. This is a silent war on the United States of America and anyone who tries to state otherwise is either sorely mistaken, or is trying to help them do it. WWIII has already started. We just don't see tanks and missiles. Yet.
Spot on. I really don't understand how anyone can read the constitution and not understand it, such as Colin. It is pretty clear, including that the Second Amendment was only about a state's right to maintain a well-regulated militia but that its clear wording doesn't support their ideology.
The GOPis is waging war on our liberal order, as framed by the constitution that is the law, by willfully violating it. You're right, it is that simple.
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.
I think while you enjoy your mocking of the population of the USA, you ought to remember how much power the USA holds and consider the size of our armed forces. If WE are fucked, most likely so are YOU. I am positive that you also have corruption in your government. You should spend your days tackling THAT and focusing on protecting YOUR country.. unless you've alread signed on for your digital IDs.. you absolutely are fucked if you've done that. Start boycotting YOUR corporations and OUR corporations because they are the same people. This is a GLOBAL takeover. A New. WORLD. Order. Get it? Or no?
Like I said. This is global. You can stare and mock all you want, but if these people win, the entire Earth is in peril. You are doing nothing to stop it by attempting to sew doubt and pessimism in our social platforms. Does your country have as many NUKES as our country does? In case you haven't noticed, we are hijacked by pedophiles and they have their hands on NUKES. Maybe you just want this to happen. If so, that would explain your bullshit.
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
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.
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.
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?
Thank you Rick Steve's for bringing Hitler's rise to power in the forefront! This country is still young. She has had struggles in times that aren't in our thoughts of how we became the USA, we don't relate to fascism because it happened in Europe or somewhere else, not America. History is important to understand what could be. German nazis brought the idea to North America and started a movement in the USA. Now think about how long it took to find a wannabe fascist - DT. Here we are many decades later in the Trump dictator regime. Fascist lie, they speak to your most weak, politically they capitalize on populism, they are predators...
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.
You said it — Now we have to figure out how to make it so!!!
Trump is a sideshow for the real Hitlers of the country. It's time to focus on them. Start with JD Vance.
Of course, but I've always been focused on the GOP in its entirety.

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.
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
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.
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.
Well put
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.
Wow! I love Rick more after this impactful quickie from Berlin.
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!
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 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.
Thank you. Good serious lesson.
