Our own are selling us out. I wonder if this is what 30s nazi Germany felt like. I have a feeling only extreme and brutal violence is going to save us from this.

Extreme and brutal violence in the streets is what led to "30s nazi Germany" so it obviously didn't prevent it.

These dudes all really need to learn about the only example they have. The Nazis waged streets battles with police and other paramilitaries such as Antifaschistische Aktion. Communists would snipe Nazis during their rallies and were attacking all kinds of non-fascists too. Even the SPD had paramilitaries to fight the other two in the name of the Republic. Thousands were killed in all this during the elections. The President passed a decree (since he was ruling that way for years) giving the death penalty for political violence. Hitler supported it because he thought the Nazis could be more disciplined at provoking the KPD than vice versa. Part of the Nazi appeal was they pointed out how the government wasn't ending the chaos, even though it had laws against all kinds of things and repeatedly banned the Nazis from holding rallies or even speaking in public because they'd get attacked, they promised that when they had the state they'd end the problem. This is part of why the other parties, including SPD members, went along with the outlawing of parties when Hitler did take power. The Reichstag Fire Decree wasn't about just the fire, it was about years of political violence especially around elections.
