WE CAN NOT LET IT HAPPEN HERE.

In 1917, democratic progressive parties in Russia could not unite after the February Revolution that overthrew the Tsar and forges a united coalition to overcome the Bolsheviks in the October Revolution and the Civil War that followed.

In 1924, those same Bolshevik sheep did not see the wolf that was Stalin until it was too late and their fate was sealed after a series of purges that left Stalin at the head of the Soviet Union.

In 1922, Italian disunity among The Popular Catholic Party, the Social Democrats, and even the Communists paved the way for the rise of Mussolini and his consolidation of power even though his black shirts largely created the violence and riots on the Italian streets that caused the Italian King to ask Il Duce to form a government.

In 1933, German Conservative parties and business interests took advantage of Left wing disunity and convinced President Hindenburg to make Adolph Hitler chancellor. Thinking they could control him, they allowed him to purge the country of the extreme left and right wing elements in the Night of Long Knives and turned a deaf ear to the persecution of Jews, Homosexuals, the disabled and the surviving oppoistion.


Does anyone see a pattern here? None of these groups above gained power through winning a majority at the ballot. Some may have been recipients of the democratic process of their countries but they were able to make their countries in their own ideological image when allowed to do so.

WE CAN NOT LET THAT HAPPEN HERE. People that oppose the recent executive actions of the President need to band together and form a shield that will make the President and those who support him back down.

Remember, the dictators who gained power after World War One would have backed down if opposition groups had united and stood their ground. Stalin would have been deposed had the other Bolsheviks followed the dying wishes of Lenin. Mussolini probably would have lost his grip on power in the Matteotti Affair (a socialist deputy assassinated by Black Shirts) if the Socialists rose up instead of sulking and staging a walk out in the Italian Parliament. Members of the German Officer Corp were waiting for any excuse to get rid of Hitler and they may have had the French shown some fortitude and stopped his remilitarization of the Rhine or stopped the appeasement policy (with Britain over the Sudeten Land).

OUR PUBLIC FIGURES NEED TO LEARN FROM THE OPPOSITIONS FAILURES IN THESE EXAMPLES and make a stand now before it gets more complicated or worse too late.
