    They knew what to do with Nazis 80 years ago. Turns out the current crop of Americans would rather be complicit.

      Let’s be honest, we only stood against the Nazis because of political alliances, and even then there was debate over if we should cut off aid to our allies and be more isolationist

      There was a lot of “America first” ideas floating around at the time, if it wasn’t for perl harbor things might have gone very differently

      It wasn’t until the world saw video of the camps that Nazis became considered unambiguously evil, a lot of people supported their ideology until they saw the end result
