1/8 - Let's not kid ourselves, Trump’s attempted coup of 1/6 was not just a minor event. Trump AND the Republicans have a well-thought plan to overthrow democracy and install fascism in this country. #January6th #ImpeachmentTrial #ImpeachAndConvict https://www.history.com/topics/germany/beer-hall-putsch

2/8 - Just look at history and see Hitler’s ascension to power in 1930s Germany. Hitler ascended to head of the Nazi party in 1921, which was mostly a fringe party until then.

3/8 - Similar to the GOP, the Nazi party also pervaded by an occultist cult, the Thule Society, which believed in the purity and sanctity of the white Arian race.

4/8 - In Nov 1923, he and his followers attempt to take over the government in Bavaria, an impoverished state in Southern Germany, populated by mostly low-educated, white Germans. Similar to Trump’s plan for 1/6, Hitler also planned to kidnap and kill the state officials.

5/8 - The attempted coup failed; Hitler was tried and sentenced to 5 years in prison for his insurrection. He served less than 1 year and, from prison, he still managed to arouse his followers.

6/8 - Although failed, the attempt coup served to unite the Nazi party and bring it to national prominence. The only difference between Trump’s failed coup and Hitlers, was that in Hitler’s case, the victims were his own followers.

7/8 - Hitler made the victims of his failed coup into martyrs to unite his party and even use a flag stained with blood from the incident into his national flag (no wonder the use of the confederate flag by Trump’s supporters)

8/8 - To cut the story short, in 1933, a decade later, Hitler became chancellor of Germany and from that point on we all know what happened.
