Americans - you realize that this what happened in Germany in the late 1920s / early 1930s? The center voting increasingly fascist because of (a weak center of course and) fear of communism. It did not end well. Americans are not special. #HistoryRepeats #Fascism #PoliticalTrends #US #DE

The primary system is broken. It might well deliver the American voter a choice between fascism and socialism. And we know who has historically won those fights. And how bloody they have been. #BrokenSystem #PoliticalChoice #HistoryRepeats #US

When it comes to bashing Jews, all restraints come off and absolutely anything becomes acceptable: anyone is given an uncritical platform to spew whatever they want and to make the gravest accusations gratuitously. I keep repeating it: the 1930s are coming back! 👇🏻 #Antisemitism #HistoryRepeats #HateSpeech #Thetweetdoesnotexplicitlymentionanyspecificcountries.Hence #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

These things were done by Stalin, Hitler with his Nazis, Castro, Chávez, and some other murderer. Today, Pedro Sánchez does them, who has been spoiled and funded for eight years by Von der Leyen of the Popular Party.

Hoy las hace Pedro Sánchez que lleva ocho años de mimado y financiado por Von der Leyen del Partido Popular.) #Totalitarianism #HistoryRepeats #PoliticalCorruption #ES #CU #DE #RU #VE

We must never underestimate the power of the retrograde; we can always return to times past, and faster than we think. (Original: También nos teníamos de Vox cuando Abascal se subía a un tabal con un megáfono, y míralos ahora. No debemos nunca infravalorar el poder de lo retrógrado, siempre podemos volver a tiempos pretéritos y más rápido de lo que pensamos.) #Retrograde #PoliticalPower #HistoryRepeats #ES
