Okay, while pooping I had a thought about something I should have posted when sharing this initially:
I just want to put a finer point on this that the urgency accelerated in the past 3 days because of the shooting.
The assassination of a German diplomat in 1938 by a mentally unstable Jewish man was part of the impetus the Nazis used to kick of Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust.
That's exactly what the GOP and media ecosystem is trying to emulate here.
The timeline matching of this is terrifying 
Added with the likelihood of GOP controlling every branch within 2 years. It's uncontrollably hard to not feel hopeless dread about this.
This isn't true. I mean, yes, the shooting was "part" of the justification for Kristallnacht but this absolutely does not match the timeline of the Holocaust. Jews
had been stripped of their citizenship in 1935, after two years of the state already stripping them of legal rights, and had been fired from almost everything and kept out of universities by 1938. Half a million were fleeing Germany by 1938 and Polish Jews had been expelled from the country. The Nazi leadership did not entirely support Kristallnacht, not because they secretly liked the Jews or disliked organized state-backed "private" violence, but because they had wanted to steal the property rather than destroy it. They shortly after passed a decree outlawing Jews from having jewelry and other valuables just in case more "mob violence" started, they also took other measures shortly there after, most particularly they essentially froze all Jewish owned assets permanently in price and started forcing them to sell to Aryans. Kristallnacht led to an increase in deportation and voluntary exits by Jews from Germany, almost assuredly
saving lives from the Holocaust. The ghettos wouldn't be established until after the invasion of Poland because they were justified as a war measure. The infamous yellow badges wouldn't appear until after the war started.
I don't know whether these people are just ignorant of history as I usually assume or whether they're deliberately and maliciously attempting to scare vulnerable people but if the members of the staff had any integrity at all as human beings they would at least say something about this. It's all fun and games when Nepenthe makes some unhinged conspiracy theory about history because she's harmless as long as you stay outside the reach of her hookup knife, but allowing this kind of nonsense and especially taking steps to ensure it's not challenged is despicable behavior from a supposedly caring leadership that operates a "welcoming bonfire" and bans people for downplaying things and spreading conspiracy theories.
