Trump’s "Hitler’s Birthday" Gift: The Death of American Democracy
April 20 was Hitler's holiday. Now it may mark the day Trump declares martial law, suspends the Constitution, and finishes the job he started on January 6…
April 20th has a special significance for Nazis and neo-Nazis around the world. Neo-Nazi groups in states like Florida, Missouri, and North Carolina have organized events specifically to commemorate Hitler's 4/20 birthday. These include "Adolf Hitler Celebrations" and gatherings marketed as "family-friendly" to indoctrinate children into white supremacist ideology.
In Georgia, a neo-Nazi shared a photo of a swastika-decorated cake baked by his girlfriend in honor of Hitler's birthday; at the Federal Correctional Facility in Florence, Colorado, a Hitler birthday celebration among white supremacist inmates escalated into a race riot involving over 200 prisoners, resulting in deaths and injuries.
This year, though, the celebration of Hitler's 136th birthday may be a bigger deal than any year before. Because that may be the day Trump's plan to end American democracy is finally, fully put into place.
