Excerpt: By March, however, the state’s vision began to change. That month, state lawmakers and the governor revealed that they wanted to assign the State Guard $89 million to buy boats, planes and helicopters. They wanted a specialized unit within the guard to have police powers and the ability to carry weapons. And they wanted to boost the State Guard to 1,500 members. Instead of being activated only during emergencies within Florida, they could be sent to any state to “protect and defend the people of Florida from threats to public safety.”

Have to scratch “Haven’t rebuilt the brownshirts” from my “they aren’t like the Nazis yet” lib list. Can’t even think of a thing they haven’t done yet, but can’t wait for the “Hitler kills Hitler” arc.

Not to mention that the blackshirts and brownshirts of Europe were inspired by the KKK and similar groups in the Southern US.

The whole of Nazis was inspired by the US. Lebensraum is Manifest Destiny. The ghettos is the segregated neighbourhoods and reservations. The Holocaust and genocide is… well the genocide.

At this point I’m on my third, nearly full, bingo card.
