    There is no regime in history where anything like that works. The Nazis couldn’t arrest all the KPD/SPD voters, for example. Once you start talking about a significant percentage of the entire population, it’s simply not feasible.

    That’s why the fascist playbook is to cleave off sections of the population and tell you to hate them. It wouldn’t work any other way.

      They’re actively portraying ‘wrong thinkers’ as enemies of the state, already, and stating that they should be hanged for insurrectionous and treasonous behavior. It’s happening/beginning right now.
