Only ignorant close minded gullible people who refused to listen to all the experts and intelligent people paying attention, who have all now been totally vindicated, after warning about it at the top of their lungs, and who are now fully entitled to say "I TOLD YOU SO".

Thank you it seems everyone has already forgotten project 2025.
Look I don't want to be too harsh on Americans nobody took the Nazis seriously when they had already written a book about how they saw the world... But none of this is shocking.
There is an ideology behind what Trump is doing and he never hid it from the world.
As an American please be careful blaming all of us for this. Less than 1 in 4 Americans voted for Trump. It doesn’t mean you need to buy an F-150 but please separate the concept of the American people from the GOP voter base. The complexities of our electoral system and our unique racist history made this very hard to avoid. Please don’t assume Americans in general wanted this or are ok with it.
> nobody took the Nazis seriously when they had already written a book about how they saw the world.
This is completely false. A cursory internet search will find many examples. Churchill was a vocal opponent of the Nazis in the 1930s.
> But none of this is shocking.
Right. Nobody who was paying attention is shocked. This includes many Americans.
> Less than 1 in 4 Americans voted for Trump
Yea and it seems the 75% of population cannot do anything about Trump now.
I wonder when people will wake up to the fact that USA does not actually have a democracy.
