Add in a looming depression, an ineffectual, infighting government with weak leadership and a conservative opposition that would rather help literally nazis to power than stop demonizing the Greens (which has become the new enemy as the actual radical left is more aligned with the right than ever). Yep, it’s pretty much the same situation as it was shortly before Hitler rose to power.

How long has that been building? I’ve heard this before, but I had thought Germany was doing really well politically and economically even just a year or two ago.
