Yes, they have literally been following 1930s Germany, and people have been warning about it for months. Meanwhile the average American still roll their eyes and call it alarmist.

The way things are going, they're going to remove the citizenship of that NYC mayoral candidate, then Trump Tower will burn allá the Reichstag fire of 1933. Which goes into mass arrests, detention without trial in camps to remove opposition, and open the door for labor and exterminations camps.

You even have Musk as Röhm, an ally who played a big role in him being elected and being a leader figure for many of the younger and rabid followers, then a falling out with whispers of opposition and fears of a losing political control. So the Night of the Long Knives probably isn't too far away.
