Schwarzenegger's Kristallnacht speech


The above address, delivered by former Republican California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, says it all. The only thing I am going to add below is some context related to Kristallnacht - or the night of the broken glass in Nazi Germany in 1938.

Kristallnacht, conducted on the night of November 9-10, 1938, was when Nazi thugs roamed the country in a coordinated effort to destroy Jewish Synagogues, businesses and homes. The rioting began after a speech by Nazi Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels blamed all Jews for the assassination of a Nazi in France by one Jewish person. The night of terrorism was designed to scare Jews into emigrating from Germany - prior to the later development of the "Final Solution", or what we know as the Holocaust. A total of 91 Jews perished that night throughout Germany, Austria and part's of the Sudetenland - annexed portion of Czechoslovakia.

We too had deadly violence conducted this week after a failed leader and his Brownshirts in Congress promulgated the lie that Trump has been telling regarding a stolen election. Trump worked the crowd, some of whom were wearing shirts that said 6 million Jews were not enough, into a frenzy like Goebbels did in 1938, and then Trump set them lose on the Capitol. Five people died in the Capitol domestic terrorist attack, but the violence could have been more catastrophic. Thankfully it was not!
   
This group of deplorables are currently online planning their versions of the final solution so we as a country must be prepared to take these insurrectionist thugs seriously. They to, like governor Schwarzenegger said, have been brainwashed or led along like many of those in his father's time were. They didn't start out believing the President's grand conspiracy. They were brought to this place with one lie after another. Then the next lie built on that and then the next bigger lie built on the previous one, and so on: 

For example:
1. The press is the enemy of the people, so you can't trust the press. 
2. The press tries to warn the citizens of the President's lies, but distrust already exists
3. Democrats are evil socialists and radicals
4. Democrats are coming to destroy your neighborhoods and burn everything down, which is made easier to believe given that you have already been told they are socialists and evil.
5. Given the previous lies being spread for months about Democrats, like they hate our country. Isn't it much harder to believe the lie that they all conspired to rig an election against your sweet and innocent leader who is just trying to save the country - "I alone can fix it"

HERE IS THE GREATEST TRUTH EVER TOLD: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke.
