re: Is this feeling what the Jews felt in Germany???

Tyrants take over by mocking dissenters.

I have no idea what Jews must have felt like in the 30s.

That said, I do feel uneasy about our liberties. The difference is, where the Germans had Hitler - the tyrants here are amorphous, faceless, uniformless bureaucrats and tech workers whose names we do not know. I find that scary. Not sure if they go violent - but they sure can spread around some misery.
