Wikipedia: Gradualism
Gradualism, from the Latin gradus (“step”), is a hypothesis, a theory or a tenet assuming that change comes about gradually or that variation is gradual in nature and happens over time as opposed to in large steps. Uniformitarianism, incrementalism, and reformism are similar concepts.
(...)
In politics, gradualism is the hypothesis that social change can be achieved in small, discrete increments rather than in abrupt strokes such as revolutions or uprisings. Gradualism is one of the defining features of political liberalism and reformism. Machiavellian politics pushes politicians to espouse gradualism.

It’s called gradualism.  They take a small freedom. It doesn’t affect me. Ignore it. They keep repeating it. Soon your freedom is gone.

He’s likely referring to the level of fascism and temporary policy in which, as always, becomes permanent policy. Nazi Germany did not occur in a day, it’s called gradualism - our most severe vulnerability.
