I am guessing that we will do the same the same will the Trumpism regime come this November!
This illegitimate president has to stopped at all cost! If we dont vote? It will cost us all, if we dont!
That is our sole purpose in our countrys history and our future generations to come!

On the morning of June 6th, 1944, Hitler was sound asleep. But no one would wake him.

Liberation of Europe would take nearly a year longer, until VE day on May 8, 1945.

On the morning of June 6th, 1944, Hitler was sound asleep.
The Allies were landing. Tens of thousands of soldiers were pouring onto the beaches. The tide was turning, the war accelerating toward its violent, inevitable end. And the man leading the Reich was in bed, untouched.
His generals knew the crisis was unfolding. His inner circle knew. Everyone knew. But no one would wake him.
Because by that point, Hitler wasnt running a government. He was running a cult of sycophants and suck ups, hanging on his every whim and tantrum, too scared to face the man and too weak to stand up to him.
His staff were no longer commanders. They were cowards who had learned that the most dangerous thing you could do in the Third Reich was tell the truth. So they waited. They stalled. They hoped someone else would say something first. They pretended history might hold off for a few more hours, just long enough for them to avoid being screamed at.
