    They may do, anyway, and they’re already mimicking third Reich symbols and language, right down to the term, “Reich”. Also autocorrect insists on capitalizing that odious word.

      They will certainly try, but without some kind of mass support they can’t hold on to power. This isn’t Nazi Germany where one ethnic population absolutely dominated. At the very least the country would collapse.

        That’s probably going to happen, either way. It’s an ivory tower built on faulty foundations and swampy-loamy soil. Without serious, deep reflection and lots of internal work, I don’t see how it can continue. We needed serious value shift, whether the tower falls or not. The tower falling may be what forces that to happen.

        TL;dr I see how other nations have called us the great Satan.
