    You need to understand when you use the word NAZI you are doing it for the benefit of people who aren’t reading about what’s happening in the history books. End of the day they aren’t NAZIs but they are MAGA which time will show are, much, much, worse.

      Indeedy. Hitler didn’t want to destroy the country, didn’t defund scientific research, had advisors who knew what they were doing, didn’t sell state secrets to the USSR, didn’t want to destroy nature… I can’t believe I’m defending Hitler.

      Much worse? I don’t think we are at the point to tell yet. The problem is also that the US has always acted in the way of a Fascist empire to the outside, which many US-Americans chose to be ignorant about. The US has murdered millions of people in Vietnam and surrounding countries, at least a million in Iraq and hundreds of thousands if not up to a million or two in South America since the 1950s. The US has fully supported the genocide and ethnic cleansing against millions of Palestinians under a “Democratic” president and people kept justifying to support him by arguing that a slow genocide is acceptable.

      So the US started from a point that was worse than 1920 Germany, but only time will tell if the end point will be as bad as 1945 Germany.
