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.

    We’re at the point where people who are white and wealthy are not being intimidated. They are not resisting. There will come a time where resistance is dangerous. Then it’s too late.

      They’re not resisting because they profit from the regime. Same happened in Germany back then - industrialists were in favor of Hitler all the time because it meant no trade unions and a shitload of business from the state.
