If we know what they are up to, then when can predict what they'll do next.
To validate your assertion, and those of us who agree with you, what will they (government) do next?
We have a highly motivated effort to install gun control.
We have an increase in request for surveillance.
We have the media influencing social opinion.
We have the education system manipulating a generation of children.
What can we predict?
What will come next?
as a uniformed service, may also be militarized and considered a branch of the armed forces by an act of Congress, or by executive order by the President of the United States, not only in time of war, but also in “an emergency involving the national defense proclaimed by the President."
The polar opposite of paranoia is inquisitive which is what your are being.
The absence of an effective government prompted two influential politicians, Franz von Papen and Alfred Hugenberg, along with several other industrialists and businessmen, to write a letter to von Hindenburg. The signers urged Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as leader of a government "independent from parliamentary parties", which could turn into a movement that would "enrapture millions of people". Hindenburg reluctantly agreed to appoint Hitler as chancellor after two further parliamentary elections—in July and November 1932—had not resulted in the formation of a majority government.
We have replaced Jews with Muslims, Gypsies with (most notably) Mexican Immigrants, and this guy is sounding more and more like Hitler did right before he took power. Are you scared yet? I am.

No. To try and compare the modern US to Nazi Gemany is a waste of time. Picking and choosing a few things here and their that seem first glance to be similar does not erase the fact that millions of things are completely different.

Mate, you're only scared because your paranoid.
And what was that about your grandmother in a mental institution. My grandmother said "what runs in the parents, runs in the children...".
But it's just a thought ? Seemed obvious to me.

Two things for the record:
1. I am not paranoid. I have no reason to be, no one is out to get me. However, I am very afraid of the attitudes and sense of superiority that seems to be proliferating at an exponential rate in the country I call home. It is very reminiscent of the sense of Nationalism that made Germany a force to be reckoned with.
2. I'm a SHE

You realize that the 3rd Reich is called the 3rd Reich because it considered itself to be the 3rd German Empire? Much the same way as the French number their Empires and Republics ("Le Second Empire", "La Troisième République", ...)
Speaking of a 4th Reich in the US is complete and utter nonsense.
