Ex-Republican governor of California compares US democracy to sword wielded by Conan the Barbarian in video address

Arnold Schwarzenegger issued a stinging rebuke of Donald Trump on Sunday, comparing the riot at the US Capitol which the president incited to Kristallnacht, the night in November 1938 when Nazi thugs attacked Jewish Germans and their property, a harbinger of horrors to come.

He also compared American democracy to a weapon he wielded onscreen in the loincloth of Conan the Barbarian nearly 40 years ago, saying: “Our democracy is like the steel of this sword. The more it is tempered, the stronger it becomes.”

Trump supporters broke into the Capitol on Wednesday after the president told them to “fight like hell” in support of his attempt to overturn election defeat by Joe Biden. Five people died, including a Capitol police officer who was hit with a fire extinguisher and a rioter shot by law enforcement.
============================================================
Reminds me as well of newsreel footage of the gangs of Nazi thugs that terrorized Germany in the early 1930s before Hitler came to power.

It was not Kristallnacht. It was the Beer Hall Putsch.

Fortunately our Democracy is stronger than Germany's was in the 30's, BUT 1 thing Trump and his thugs has shown is though it's strong, our Democracy does have weaknesses and flaws..
