This is straight-from-Hitler genocide inciting rhetoric. And 82% of Republicans agree

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What if I told you you shouldn't be surprised. January 6th, wasn't even the first plotted coup attempt Republicans had worked on. They've been at this for nearly 100 years. Originally intending to overthrow the United States government. At roughly a similar time Hitler initially tried to overthrow the German government.
One of the few reasons they didn't is a largely unsung American patriot named Smedley Butler. Who warned FDR about the plot. FDR even though he was one of our greatest presidents of the last century and did a lot of good. Ended up managing to shit the bed on this. Instead of calling out the fascists, rooting them out and prosecuting/locking them up. Cut a deal with them. In order to temporarily get new deal policies passed. Only to have the son and grandson of the man they most likely intended to install as America's fascist dictator become presidents. The son who himself was a man in heavy support of American international terrorist activities. Enabled and then pardoned one of the greatest American international terrorists of the 1980s.
We shouldn't be surprised. We've had a century of constant warnings. Trump being the most minor one of all. But somehow the only one most people managed to catch. I blame the whitewashed history we teach in America.
