It’s early 1933 right now. The nazis were elected, they’ve set the dismantling of the state into motion, and most of their opponents still think that the rule of law is technically still valid. It’ll just take time for the courts to do their thing.

The next step will be the Reichstag fire. So it might look like not a lot is getting worse for a few months, then one morning you might wake up, the news are talking about a terror attack, and any remaining pretense of democracy is simply wiped away by another “Executive Order”.
