I don't know what your news filter is like, but these guys are far from comical. Yes, the first wave to arrive were a bunch of tubby Texans, but now they're going door to door in gangs of 'roided-up wannabe Rambos with full tactical gear and long guns, busting down doors and storming in like it's Iraq.

Ice is the SA the SS comes later

I see your point, the Nazis were meticulous, organized, disciplined...ICE are ridiculous untrained goons

I disagree, the early Nazis had plenty of fucked up thugs to confront the communists and whoever else disagreed with them.

You say that as if they don't manage to still catch plenty of people and their fate afterwards isn't so great

We're doing fascism but it's being driven by mostly incompetent shitkids. I guess we should thank our lucky stars they are so incompetent because what happened in germany showed what competent types can do, and that's not really 'catching on' here in parallel to 1935 deutschland. The US is also a country with a longer history of open free discourse than the brief freedoms germans had between the wars.

And finally, although the economy is wretched, we aren't to the bread-lines and other horrors the depression brought.

We may get there though at this rate. And don't get it twisted, they aren't all incompetent fascists, just notably a bunch of incompetent moves. We aren't out of the woods yet entirely.
