I mean, that was a Nazi war strategy, not how they consolidated power.
The difference is that Nazis didn’t care that the citizens might oppose them, because they were fully prepared from the beginning to ruthlessly eliminate all opposition by any means necessary.
Sure but they absolutely understood that necessitated plausible deniability; every further reach of power had a cover. There’s a reason the suspending of civil liberties only jumped to effect under the cover of the Reichstag fire (and Hitler finally moving to remove Röhm was to appease army and business leaders, because he needed their support) or that Hitler waited until Hindenburg passed before finally assuming complete power.
You make some excellent points, and the Nazis took a few years to get to their very worst policies. The roots of the Final Solution started around 1936, when they first embarked on a program to euthanize mentally and physically handicapped citizens.
Yet the Nazis’ first moves upon taking power happened very quickly, such as the Enabling Act, which consolidated power in Hitler’s hands (HitlerPig actually did the same thing sooner than Hitler did). The Nazis used a blitzkrieg strategy on their own government, before they employed it as a battle strategy, and the MAGANazi’s are doing the same thing.
Sure, the Nazis didn’t do everything, everywhere, all at once, mostly because it all takes time. Today, with the Internet and social media, it can happen a lot faster. HitlerPig is moving fast, but they still have strategies and policies that they will release over time, because even with the Internet, some stuff still takes time. If you want to detain massive numbers of the opposition, you need a place to hold them, so they have to wait until their 30,000 inmate facility in Guantanamo Bay is finished.
