historical perspective 

Do you think our position is better or worse than the opposition in Germany and Poland in 1939?

Do you think our position is better or worse than the Prague Spring or Solidarity in 1968?

Do you think our position is better or worse than that of Soviet dissidents like Andrei Sakharov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn in the 1970s?

Do you think our position is better or worse than Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, and Georgia just before the Color Revolutions?

Do you think our position is better or worse than that of the peasantry during Louis XVI?

Hitler sure as fuck didn't have a 43% approval rating in 1936. I have a sneaking suspicion we're playing this on Easy Mode, with a dictator who can't even win the popular vote and a nation that at least *has* a democratic tradition. So you have a lot of damn gall if you're ready to give up.
