Similarities between the NAZIS in the 1920s and 30s , and the current state off the Republican Party
It is not considered politically correct to compare anyone to NAZIS. but there are eerie similarities between the NAZIS during the 1920s and 30s, and the current state of the Republican Party. In 1929. Hitler and his followers tried to overtake the democratic Weimar government by force, in what is called the Beer Hall Putsch. It failed. Once Hitler was released from jail, they changed tactics where they would attempt to gain power thru politics. They became a major political player , but never actually won an election. They gained absolute political power thru deceit and manipulation of the public while demolishing anything that resembled democracy. The Nazis blamed all of the countries problems on the Jews.
On Jan 6th Trump and his minions tried to subvert the legitimate election of Joe Biden by force with the attack on the nations capitol. Currently the Republicans have trouble winning the popular votes on national elections. They are trying to make up for this by voter suppression and other manipulations of state laws. They use severe gerrymandering to gain power in state and federal legislatures. Misinformation is spread thru right wing media sources to deceive there gullible followers. They blame all of the nations problems on inner city blacks and brown illegal immigrants.
It is clear to anyone who objectively studies Trump, that both him and Hitler are or were men of no conscience, who would tell any lie that is to there own benefit. That is why they are both so dangerous.
The mainstream media needs to be encouraged to pick up on ths.

The situations have many differences, but those behaving very similarly are the same kind of people.
On the good side, much of the media has done a lot more than pick it up. It's been and is being discussed explicitly in print a great deal and on political cable, podcasts, etc. Shortly after tRump was sworn in, the WaPo changed their slogan, at the top of the front page every day, to "Democracy Dies in Darkness."
The "evening news," though, is a different matter. Close to half of all Americans who vote (the ones who matter) vote Republican despite all that party is doing, both ardent Nazi types and all the rest it couldn't happen without, including an authoritarian/populist fringe on the left.
So do most of the MSM management who matter. They work to empower Republicans and depower Democrats. The same ones who succeeded so disastrously in 2016 are for the most part still there, such as the NYT's editor in chief, Dean Baquet. They don't want tRump, but getting and holding power is crucial, and at this time the center of power on the right is tRump because today's Nazis have chosen him.
So best not wait for CBS, ABC and NBC to be telling half their audiences they're becoming Nazis, even if it were news.
or wireless access -- government estimates are from 21 to 27 million.
Other entities say the lack of broadband and wireless access is double that.
Note all the battlegrounds on this list.

The primary reason for the disparity between the reports is a flaw in FCC Form 477 reporting, according to BroadbandNow. The company states that if an ISP offers service to at least one household in a census block, then the Federal Communications Commission counts that entire block as being covered by that provider. Manually checking internet availability for each address therefore results in a more accurate estimation of broadband connections.
The report highlights the U.S. states where the most people remain unserved by speedy internet. Texas comes first with an estimated total of 4.17 million disconnected people while California and Arizona come second and third with 2.35 and 1.84 million respectively. Unsurprisingly, smaller states tend to have a higher connection rate and the lowest numbers of people lacking broadband access were recorded in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
