  1. How absolutely awful it must be to see it happening again and no one listens. The same cult following and lack of compassion. 

  2. I’m not a woman

    I’m not queer

    I’m not an immigrant

    But I’ll be voting as though I were and depend on everyone else to, too.

    >Each video features a collage she’s made on the threats she addresses, including reproductive rights (Mind Your Own Damn Business), January 6 and a history of American violence (Terror), and stoking fear and hatred as a means to power (Liars).

    These sound really good. Go, Grandma Elli!

  4. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/10/gay-holocaust-survivor-grandma-elli-joins-tiktok-to-urge-folks-to-vote-against-the-next-hitler/) reduced by 87%. (I’m a bot)

    > The youthful salutation belies more than four score years of wisdom, in particular when it comes to tyranny: Grandma Elli was witness to its terrors as a young Jewish child in the Holocaust.

    > In a series of five videos to date, Elli lays out her case that Trump is a latter-day Adolf Hitler who uses the same tactics as the Nazi dictator in his quest for power and displays the same disregard for democracy and fundamental human rights and values.

    > "It's always someone else's fault to people like Hitler and Trump," Elli shares.

  5. The first 3 words of that title read like something that should give certain people a heart attack

    Excellent

  6. Anyone else scared of who’s waiting in line next and learning from these mistakes?

  7. We must listen and vote like our freedoms depend on it. Because it does. Thank you Grandma Elli for speaking your truth from hard experience.

  8. I had a relative that lived under Hitler. Forced to be in the Hitler youth. He wouldn’t talk about it and he hated Trump.

    Knowing how fucked if ppl in America are, this might actually work against her because they WANT another Hitler.
