Republicans in 2024: Looks and Sounds Like Germany

If your eyes aren’t open, you are missing what is happening in America and the Republican Party. They have become the most dangerous and terrifying cult since Hitler took power in Germany. Even though there’s a lot more going on, this article will concentrate solely on one event, which clearly illustrates the striking similarities between Hitler and Trump.

You may not realize it, but we are witnessing many of the same dynamics which happened in the early 1930s in Germany, as the cult began to amass power and control of the country. In Germany, when you saw the Fuhrer, you clicked your heels, raised your right arm, and yelled, “Heil Hitler! Nobody dared defy the Fuhrer in any way, shape or fashion. Essentially the same thing is happening inside the Republican Party in the year 2024.

Remember what happened to Liz Cheney? She literally had the most conservative voting record in Congress. You couldn’t find a member of Congress who was more dedicated to conservative principles. However, Liz Cheney had the nerve to place the Constitution ahead of Comrade Trump and we saw what happened to her. She was destroyed by the Republican Party, she lost her re-election bid by massive numbers, and she became an enemy of the Cult.

It’s obvious Republican members in Congress saw what happened to Liz Cheney and don’t want to have a similar experience. They are paralyzed with fear about keeping their political power, so they know what they must do to avoid becoming an enemy of the cult. This group includes several well-known Republican Senators, who previously trashed Trump as a Presidential candidate. All of them essentially said he is not qualified to be President.

But in 2024, those same Republican Senators are singing a different song. Trump has essentially become the second coming of Adolph Hitler, trying to amass power in America later this year. Nobody is allowed to disagree with him, criticize him, or challenge anything he says or does. Is that an America we want? All Republican members of Congress must demonstrate fealty to Trump.

On June 13 2024, Senate Republicans met with Trump in the U.S. Capitol. Yes, that’s the same building where Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election results. During that meeting, every Republican Senator was kissing Trump’s ass at every opportunity. That was very interesting because several senators, who were kissing his ass, previously made very derogatory comments about Trump, telling America he was totally unqualified to be President.

Here are some examples:

Senator McConnell:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pointed his finger at President Donald Trump, saying he helped spur the attack on the Capitol by the outgoing president’s supporters.

The Kentucky Republican said on the Senate floor, “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.”

Senator Lindsay Graham:

Graham called Trump “a race baiting, xenophobic religious bigot.” He said, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is “as good a man as God ever created.”

Senator Ted Cruz:

  • Cruz called Trump a “sniveling coward”
  • Cruz called Trump a “big, loud New York bully”
  • Cruz said, “Trump is a small and petty man who is intimidated by strong women”
  • Cruz: called him a “pathological liar” who “lies with practically every word that comes out of his mouth”
  • Trump is “utterly amoral,” he said
  • Cruz still hadn’t forgiven Trump for the attacks on his family

Although she wasn’t present, let’s recall what Republican Presidential candidate Nikki Haley said about Trump.

  • In February 2016: “I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the K.K.K. That is not a part of our party. That is not who we are.”
  • January 12, 2021: Haley said of Trump, “We need to acknowledge he let us down. He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. We can’t let that ever happen again.” 
  • During her 2024 campaign, Nikki Haley said about her opponent. “The nation can’t survive another four years of the chaos that surrounds Trump.

Despite those horrible comments, Halley recently said she’s going to vote for him. What? Obviously, Nikki Haley sets very low standards for our next President. More importantly, she doesn’t want to become the next Liz Cheney.

If any members of the cult read this article, they will become outraged with me. Remember, nobody is allowed to criticize, disagree with, or challenge their supreme leader. If they do such, they will automatically become an enemy of the cult. It’s obvious that all members of the Republican party clearly understand what will happen if they challenge the Fuhrer.

What happened to the America we grew up in where opposing political parties were described as the LOYAL OPPOSITON? Yes, they have different solutions and different philosophical positions, but we are all Americans who want to defend and protect our Constitution.

That has been replaced in the Republican Party who no longer cares about protecting and defending the Constitution. They only care about protecting and defending their Supreme Leader, Comrade Trump, Vladimir’s best friend and ally in America.

It’s obvious to me that the dynamics of political differences in America has taken a terrifying turn towards FASCISM. Will we do what millions of good Germans did in 1933, which was to sit back and watch, believing that will never happen? We saw what happened in Germany, as Hitler almost destroyed the world. Learn from the mistakes of the good Germans who never believe what happened, could happen. Starting taking action, get involved! Yes, it is definitely happening in America!

My next blog article will go into the striking similarities of what is driving and motivating Trump Cult members. You will see how similar it was to the millions of Germans who dedicated their support to Hitler in the early 1930s.

If you also believe Americans are facing a threat of Fascism, and they must understand the dynamics of what is happening to our country,  please share this article with your friends and/or colleagues. We are in serious danger of losing our constitution and our democracy.

If you agree or disagree with what I wrote, please feel free to leave a comment. Remember, if Trump becomes America’s first dictator, you may no longer have the option of disagreeing. We could become another version of Germany in the 1930s, where everyone will be forced to click their heels and yell, Heil Trump!

Questions for those who believe in a God?

Questions for those who believe in a God?

I find it mind boggling that even intelligent people in the 21st Century, still believe there’s a god, a place called heaven, a devil, and a place called hell. They never require one shred of evidence or proof, and they totally ignore logic, as they cling to that cultural myth.

This illustrates the immense power of cultural brainwashing, which pounds these concepts into people, starting when they are a small child. Very few individuals can step outside of cultural norms and analyze what is happening and realize they were fed a series of lies. In America, the individuals who can step outside the boundaries of cultural norms and utilize proof, evidence, and logic, are known as atheists.

Atheists are often the target of immense hate in American culture. If they aren’t hated, they are often mocked by people who look at them and say, they don’t believe in a god. What’s wrong with them?

I’ve been asking a series of questions about god and religion for decades and never once received what I consider an intelligent reply. Here are some of the questions I always ask and never get an intelligent answer.

  • Where did god come from?
  • Where does god live?
  • Where is heaven?
  • Where is hell?
  • Do you really believe god can simultaneously monitor the thoughts and actions of almost 8 billion people on the planet?
  • Do you really believe your god can understand hundreds of languages?
  • If you claim your god has immense power we can’t even imagine, why doesn’t god eliminate the devil?
  • Where does the devil live? Does he live under Hawaii, under Japan, under Bermuda? Under Australia? Please tell me.
  • If you’re Jewish, what was your all-powerful god doing while the Nazis spent over a decade killing more than 6 million people simply because they were Jewish? How can a Jewish person possibly believe in such a pathetic god, who did nothing to protect those innocent people?
  • Every year, hundreds of thousands (possibly more) of innocent women around the world are raped and/or murdered. What is your all-powerful god doing while this is happening?
  • If you’re Catholic, how do you feel about those hundreds of priests, over the years, who sexually abused and/or raped children?

BIG TIME QUESTION for those who believe in God, Heaven, and Hell

Background

When growing up in America, you are told as a child that on Christmas Eve, Santa travels the globe, carrying millions of presents on his sled, which he delivers to the people by going down a chimney. Of course, when you get a little older, you LOL when you think that at one time, as a child, you somehow incredibly believed that absurd story. You eventually realize is is nothing more than a cultural myth.

But I find it amazing that the overwhelming majority of people never apply the same kind of logic and thinking when it comes to the existence of a god, a place called heaven, a devil, and a place called hell. Why are those concepts immune to logic and proof for most people?

QUESTIONS for BELIEVERS

In most modern cultures, when someone dies, they are locked in a coffin, and buried 6 feet underground.

  • How does a dead person get out of a locked coffin, and then plow his or her way through 6 feet of solid earth?
  • When they reach the surface, how does this dead person somehow travel to heaven or hell? Oh by the way, where is heaven and hell?
  • Why has nobody, in the history of mankind, ever witnessed any of the above happening at a cemetery?
  • When homicide detectives have a case where they must exhume a dead body several years later, the body is still in the casket. I thought that person already traveled to heaven or hell?

I don ‘t know about you, but I think the cultural story of Santa delivering millions of presents on Christmas Eve makes a lot more sense than a dead person getting out of their locked coffin, plowing their way through 6 feet of solid earth, and mystically traveling to a place called heaven or hell. And, nobody can tell you where that is.

One Final Thought

Here’s just one example of what amazes me on almost a daily basis. I regularly watch real life Homicide stories because I’m fascinated by human nature and the level of evil in the world.

I never ceased to be amazed by the reaction of parents whose daughter was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and/or murdered. They pray to their god for the safe return of their daughter.

My question to them is the following. What was your all-mighty god doing while your innocent daughter was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and/or murdered? How can you pray to such a useless, pathetic god?

You can apply the above example in numerous other incidents which happen every day of the year.

U.S. CRIMINAL LAWS FOR MURDER ARE INSANE

by | Jun 5, 2023 | Law Enforcement, Life

U.S. CRIMINAL LAWS FOR MURDER ARE INSANE

How many times have you read an article about a vicious murder, only to learn the person who committed the crime has a rap sheet longer than your leg? You see it way too often. The criminal was previously arrested for assault, rape, attempted murder, etc. If you’re like me, you ask yourself how or why is this horrible person walking around free? Why aren’t they locked up in a cage for the rest of their lives?

I’m writing this just after a serial killer in Texas, named Raul Meza, turned himself in. He was wanted for 2 murders in Austin, TX. After he turned himself in, he advised the police that he committed two other murders in San Antonio, TX. Authorities believe he may have killed several other people.

In 1982, Raul Meza was convicted for the rape and murder of an 8-year old girl. Guess what? He served only 11 years and was paroled in 1993. You read that correctly. A guy who raped and murdered an 8-year old girl, served only 11 years in prison for that vicious crime. This is a prime example of what is wrong with our criminal justice system. The emphasis should not be on parole or rehabilitation for murderers, it should be on protecting society from vicious killers.

After Meza was released, there’s a long list of people whom he murdered. Obviously, if Meza was locked in a cage for the rest of his life after the 1982 rape and murder of that young girl, numerous innocent people would be alive today.

The treatment of Meza described above is symbolic of so many other cases across the country. Why in the world does our justice system demonstrate so much undeserved empathy toward murderers?

What is wrong with our criminal justice system? Why do vicious killers, who rape and/or murder people, serve such short sentences? Why are they released on parole?

Remember, murder is a permanent crime. The victim and their family will never recover. That’s why the punishment should also be permanent, that means the rest of the criminal’s life. After committing a murder, a prisoner should never be released, so that he or she can do it again.

Let’s take a moment to review the various levels of charges one might face for the murder of someone. Please note, the following list is not all inclusive, it’s more of a generic summary.

First Degree Murder

It is the most severe homicide crime and the criteria is premeditated and carried out with intent. This could result in the death penalty, which is almost never actually imposed. More often, life in prison without the possibility of parole, is the sentence. In America, if you get the death penalty, you’re almost assured of at least another 15-20 years living on death row. See more on this at the end of this article.

However, some judges give out a sentence such as only 15 or 25 years to life. Why? Put them away forever!

Second Degree Murder

Second-degree murder is carried out with intent but with no premeditation. This one often carries a pathetic sentence like 15 years to life.

Third Degree Murder

Third-degree murder falls between manslaughter and second-degree murder charges. This murder is not based on having the intent to kill. Third-degree murder is often charged as a depraved heart or mind crime. This charge can arise when a person fires a gun in a crowd without intending to kill anyone. Do you or I really care if he or she intended to kill someone? Firing a weapon into a crowd is more than enough for me to lock up this person forever.

Manslaughter

Your behavior shows you don’t care if someone dies because of your actions (voluntary manslaughter). You accidentally cause another person to die (involuntary manslaughter).

Attempted Murder

Attempted murder is the failed or aborted attempt to murder another person.

In some states “Attempted 1st Degree Murder” can carry a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole. Unfortunately, that kind of sentence is very rare. In most states, more often than not, attempted murder carries a maximum penalty of only 15 years. Very often, the actual sentence is even lower.

Unfortunately, our justice system usually rewards the criminal for failure. If you attempt to kill someone and succeed, you will probably receive a very serious sentence. However, if you try to kill someone, but fail to achieve your goal, the criminal justice system often rewards you with a very light sentence. How dumb is that?

Death Penalty

In 1976, the death penalty was reinstated by the Supreme Court. Since then, only 1,569 men and women have been executed in the United States. Incidentally, most of those executions were concentrated in a few states.

1,569 may sound like a large number, but over 47 years, that comes to only   33 per year. How many murders are committed in America annually? I don’t have the exact number, but it averages out to approximately 21,000 per year. Yes, out of every 21,000 murders annually, there are approximately only 33 death penalty cases each year

Let’s do the math.

21,000 x 47 years = 987,000 murders since 1976

How many people were put to death? 1,569. That means the death penalty is applied in America only about 2% of the time. Or looking at it from the opposite direction, in about 98% of murders cases, there is no death penalty applied.

If you’re like me, you are angry that the death penalty isn’t utilized far more often. However, it should only be applied when the guilty person confesses, or if there is 100% scientific proof. It should never be used in a circumstantial evidence case.

It doesn’t matter how you personally feel about the death penalty and/or how rarely it’s used. What matters is we keep the threat of a death penalty hanging over the head of murderers. Why? Because you would be amazed how many times a murderer pleads guilty to a lesser charge to avoid the death penalty.

Conclusion

We need a justice system that emphasizes punishment over rehabilitation for violent offenders. People who rape, seriously injure, or kill others, deserve to spend the rest of their lives locked in a cage. This type of sentence places the emphasis on protecting society from people who will kill someone for a trivial reason. They simply do not care about others.

Why should we demonstrate empathy for these cold-hearted killers? Why does our criminal justice system demonstrate such a high level of concern for violent offenders? You can bet every dollar you have, if the judge was sentencing a killer who murdered one of his loved ones, that murderer would never see the light of day again. We need judges who place themselves in the position of a family member who just lost a loved one forever.
