I wonder if the Germans felt like we do when Hitler was coming to power. A disbelief that normal people could be so evil, and then horror when it was somehow legitimized.

When I was growing up, I always thought it was like 80% of Germany that believed in the whole white-super-man, but maybe it was 20%, or maybe less.

I just can’t believe that half of America approves of what’s going on. I can’t believe that 20% is so mad that the immigrants that they want to put them in Auschwitz style cages.

I wonder if all Americans are going to be branded something like “Nazi” like the Germans were.

    And there we have the exact reason these kinds of brain rot shows exist. Entertainment is meant to keep the stupid populous from forming an opinion on current affairs. This way, the only actual voters are well-informed and politicians can represent those who actually know things.

    Except somehow populism circumvents this and is a lot more effective, unfortunately.
