Here's A Timeline Of Hitler's First 53 Days In Office — Let Me Know If You Notice Anything Familiar

[Guno צְבִי]

Recently, some U.S. politicians have pointed out that Adolf Hitler dismantled a constitutional republic in "one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes" as they draw comparisons between Nazi Germany and the current U.S. administration. If you're wondering exactly how things went down in 1933, you're in luck — this timeline will lay it all out for you.

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed the 15th chancellor of the Weimar Republic. With the end of World War I in 1918, Germany shifted away from being a monarchy and transitioned into a republic. 15 short years later, Hitler managed to usurp the constitution in less than two months.

Ten years prior, Hitler had led an attempted coup on the government, now known as the Beer Hall Putsch. A group of armed Nazis marched on the Bürgerbräukeller, a beer hall where the state commissioner was speaking, and Hitler demanded that leaders get behind their cause. In less than 24 hours, the coup failed — leaving 14 Nazis and four police officers dead. Hitler escaped that night but was arrested two days later.

Once he had the Chancellorship and the Cabinet positions, Hitler began to put his loyalists in positions of power. He appointed Wilhelm Frick as Minister of the Interior and Hermann Göring as Interior Minister of Prussia. more...........

On February 4, Hitler issued the "Decree for the Protection of the German People," which restricted the press and allowed the police to shut down any political meetings or marches. This made it difficult for any of his opposition parties to campaign.



Even so, the Nazis seemed more likely to lose support in the upcoming election than to gain it. "On February 18," Ryback notes, "the center-left newspaper Vossische Zeitung wrote that despite Hitler’s campaign promises and political posturing, nothing had changed for the average German. If anything, things had gotten worse. Hitler’s promise of doubling tariffs on grain imports had gotten tangled in complexities and contractual obligations."

But everything changed on February 27, 1933, six days before the election, when an arsonist burned down the Reichstag building. "Though the origins of the fire are still unclear, in a propaganda maneuver, the coalition government... blamed the Communists," according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Trump echoed threats of his 2024 campaign to jail his political opponents and persecute liberal media in a dark and retaliatory speech to the Department of Justice on Friday.

I'm guessing there are several MAGAts, both on and off JPP, who can't wait to wear nice jet-black uniforms with shiny silver accouterments.

Trump is dangerous to the American experiment. He does not care about America except for what he can get from it. He is proving how dangerous he is, in all he has done since he got in office.

We should all be able to agree, this is a bad time to be an American. But in this bad time, we should remember all that America has done for us, we owe it to stick to it.
