It's been less than 2 weeks since the inauguration.

Elon Musk and Trump are already purging the civil service of federal workers deemed insufficiently "loyal" while rewriting/deleting government websites that aren't "in compliance" with Trumpism.

The Nazis had a word for this process of bringing everything into alignment with the leader's ideology:

#Gleichschaltung

We are now seeing it implemented in the USA.

Meme with red background shading to black on the right side and the text: Gleichschaltung: (German pronunciation [ˈɡlaɪçʃaltʊŋ]), meaning synchronization or bringing into line; a type of forced standardization. Gleichschaltung was the process by which Adolf Hitler established totalitarian control and "coordination" over all aspects of German society, from the economy and professional organizations to the media and education. Everything was subject to "coordination" including leisure activities—even those for children. All social, political, and cultural organizations were to be controlled and run according to Nazi ideology. The Nazi’s started with the Civil Service, issuing the "Act for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service". This act legalized removing anyone of non-Aryan descent from the civil service.
