      Violence was pretty common in those days. The problem with the German opposition is that they were waiting for a red line. But the nazis incrementally racheted up their actions so they didn’t recognize that red line until it was too late.

      The difference being that USA 2025 is not actually a totalitarian dictatorship. It’s the “tipping point” observation about authoritarianism: there’s a point beyond which, yes, you have no choices left but bloody revolution or foreign intervention. Only a handful of countries in the world are currently in that situation. America is nowhere near it.
