Or as they put it another time... don't be a sucker.
This film made me think about our freedom and rule of law. Why are POTUS and his people saying and doing what they are doing. This 22 minute movie from the US Army, from 1945 seems still relevant in 2025. @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker see how the Nazis conned their country youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4
In WWII , the military put out small films on many topics like fascism to warn the soldiers and warn the public, too. About 3 min in, is the important message. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGAq...
