Jeffrey Katzenberg, former Disney exec tells this from his childhood regarding Germany’s “clown”, Hitler:
“When I was in high school, we were studying Third Reich Germany and the rise of Hitler, and over the holiday, our teacher suggested to the class that, to the degree which we could, please go home and talk to your grandparents,” Katzenberg told the poolside Axios gathering tonight on the eve of Milken Institute conference.
“Ask them, what did they read? “What did they see? What did they hear? What they do?”
“In the case of my family, on my mom’s side, they came from France and on my dad’s side, from Germany and they all said exactly the same thing,” the 73-year-old DreamWorks co-founder said to a group…
“We read it; we heard it. We literally did not believe it. Thought this guy was a clown, that what he was saying was so incredibly impossible, and unimaginable.
And then we ran for our lives, quite literally.”
We need to read it, hear it, and unlike our German and European predecessors, we need to believe it and stop it, even though it seems so incredibly impossible and unimaginable. Always believe the threats of fanatical extremists.
It is not just Trump, it is an entire highly organized and fanaticalnetwork of right wing violent extremists, in America, and around the world. And American Rule of Law, the American Constitution, and our democratically elected Republic is the prime target. They are dedicated to force, and have given up on democracy because they can’t win. They are just too … ugly, angry, threatening, odd, weird, dangerous, violent.
