NFT: Is anyone else purposely steering clear of the news?

Kind of like another country around 1940, where they rounded up people they didn't like and herded them off to some place, and were never heard from again.

Using history as a learning lesson or playbook?

Can someone please explain to me how this country is turning into Putin's Russia or, worse, Hitler's Germany?
We have leaders who are using their position to retaliate against anyone and everyone who might have looked at them wrong. They have taken away clearances from law firms that might have done work against them, and they have dismantled any agency that might stand against what they are doing. They're looking to annex land that isn't theirs, but they say, Hey, we need it. I guess I could go on for hours, but the point is, some one please explain to me how is this good for American, democracy and we are not turning into another Russia or God forbid, Nazi
Germany. It sure looks that way to me.

@LennG As a fellow veteran, I share a lot of your frustrations. I think the answers will veer into political territory and probably should be tabled.
