ICE is all those things, including Gestapo. Nazi Germany was heavily influenced by America after all, it's no surprise it's come full circle
Yes, that post is a great reminder that we can make things too simple, but Trump's administration frequently parrots Nazi propaganda specifically, and we have been told that Trump keeps a book of Hitler's speeches next to his bed.
If anything, I think Trump's administration is so ignorant to history that the Gestapo comparison is more valid, because they likely don't know about this other history, so they're just copying the Nazis directly.
Source?
Here's one.
Yeah basically the entire Nazi modus operandi was lifted from American entrepreneurs and general culture.
I've heard ICE is closer to the SA than ths Gestapo, since the Gestapo was mostly intelligence while SA was brute force
Correct, however most people don't know anything at all about SA. They know SS and Gestapo.
To anybody reading this, if you want to learn more - both about SA itself and how things like SA/Nazism came to be - I cannot recommend Babylon Berlin enough. The first season is about the post-Great War Germany, whereas the second season is pretty much specifically about the rise of Hitler.
Don't give Americans the emotional distance of cosplaying foreigners doing it.
Make them own the American white supremacist slaver rhetoric and behavior that they have been espousing the whole time for once and for all.
