   What is the correlation between America & Weimar Germany? Because of the extreme liberalism of America, will people rebel against this extremism & vote for very no-nonsense  Republicans who will take no quarter, establishing a strict, law & order culture?  Your thoughts?

      If a significant portion of the electorate believes that a liberal administration has led to problems and dissatisfaction, there could be a shift towards conservative candidates in subsequent elections. Common concerns that might influence such a shift could include economic issues, social policies, or perceptions of government effectiveness.
      
      The comparison between America and Weimar Germany can be nuanced and may depend on the specific aspects being considered. Weimar Germany faced economic turmoil, political instability, and social unrest, ultimately leading to the rise of extremist ideologies like Nazism. While the situations are different, some might draw parallels in terms of social and political polarization.
      
      As for the idea that extreme liberalism in America could lead to a conservative backlash, opinions on this matter vary widely. Political dynamics are complex and influenced by a multitude of factors. Some individuals may seek more conservative candidates who prioritize law and order in response to perceived social or political instability. However, it's important to note that views on what constitutes "extreme liberalism" and "no-nonsense Republicans" can vary among people.

         One thing that has come to light since October 7th... is that there is no "extreme liberalism"  and this makes sense in our oppressor or oppressed... victim or victimizer society.
         
         I think what you have today is those who embrace this new liberalism, that the rest of us consider extreme.
         
         Within the Democrat/Liberal party, there is no divide, there is no extreme, this is why politicians like AOC, Maxwell Frost, Jared Huffman, Ilhan Omar and many others refuse to condemn Hamas' actions, some openly support them, still.
         
         This is why you read reports and see pictures of LGBTQ+ groups marching in support of Hamas and Palestine, this is why you see reports and pictures of college kids gathering around, cornering and attacking Jewish students.
         
         This is your Social Justice, Progressive, Liberal mindset/movement of today. This is the Democrat Party of today.  Its not extreme, its what they are.

      Lets consider all that has been exposed the past few years.
      
      The collusion between MSM and 'The Establishment' to feed citizens falsehood after falsehood, Trump collusion with Russia, Gen. Flynn collusion with Russia, etc.
      
      The efforts of the FBI in concert with Social Media to silence or denigrate any opposition, as was concretely proven by Elon Musk after he purchased Twitter and released the 'Twitter Files'.
      
      These two issues alone, prove that we are living in a 'Gilded Cage' of lies and deceit fostered by criminals that have sold out the American people.
      
      Remember the Hunter Biden Laptop, that 50 top NSA/CIA/FBI officials signed a document stating that it was a Russian conspiracy to turn the election?
      
      Yeah.
      
      Remember the story of all the Classified documents that Biden had from his VP days, or the stories about how Hunter Biden got 1.5 billion from a Chinese bank for 'investment purposes', or how crack head Hunter got a job in Ukraine paying him 100K a month and giving him access to top officials in Ukraine... etc.... etc.
      
      They are going to have to come up with a new definition for the type of Party Dictatorship we are living under... not something as blunt as International Capitalist Propaganda State ... perhaps Delusions of Democracy Dictatorship... will have to contemplate that.
      
      Don't get me wrong, I appreciate living in a 'Gilded Cage' far more than I would want to be living in Germany's Third Reich or Stalin's Russia.
      
      But I recognize rot when I see it... and it is playing out on the global stage in horrendous fashion right now... for Ukraine, Russia, the Middle East... for the world at large.
      
      One should be concerned about when the tide turns... when the cost for all these misdeeds and corrupt leadership have to be paid by us all.
