    I think you misunderstand. As I said above, I'm no saint either and I can handle insults, I mostly ignore them, but what's emblematic in these two examples for pretty much all of the Left is that they come from people who clearly regard themselves as morally superior...they rant all day long about how Trump and MAGA are racist and xenophobic...only to then quite clearly use racist and xenophobic language themselves.

    So my point is not to whine, but to point out the hypocrisy.

    Funny enough German’s were led down that path through demonizing immigrants and foreigners. Sound familiar? It should Trump uses the same strategies as Hitler did. It is no coincidence either given Trump was known to read up on Hitler.

    The **** that's going on in Springfield with legal immigrants is pretty damn disturbing.

    Donny also stirred some **** up against Asian Americans to a lesser extent during COVID.

    Contrast that with Bush who repeated often not to persecute Muslim Americans even when everyone was on edge after 9/11...

    There were more communists than Nazi’s in Germany. The Nazi Party polled lower than the Communists - but Hitler was far better at consolidating power and once he had control, he never let go.

    I am sure there were young German men attracted to the uniforms, perceived power and opportunities of the Nazi Party.

    My point is that Nazi’s never got above like the mid 30’s in support before the polls were no longer trustworthy.

    Germans have to live with their history - but because of how history has been framed, it is often forgotten that most German’s didn’t want Hitler as their ruler - and had very little say about it.

    Germany had multiple parties. The Nazi Party was not the most popular party in Germany - the Communists actually had more support.

    The Communists were not as politically adroit as Hitler was when it came to procedures once in office.

    As for support of the war - there were a lot of Germans that did not want the war. Indeed, Hitler had to stop his discussions against Jews and War at crucial points because they were not popular topics with the majority of Germans.

    Hitler declared War - at a point where he had total control of propaganda in the country and after he had successfully taken land from other nations and with economic success- even at that point, many Germans wanted him to not go to war and focus on the economy and domestic programs like he promised.

    Bro by 1939 it was an honor to have Mein Kampf at ur house like North Korea has a portrait of the "great leader". They gifted Mein Kampf as a graduation present.

    You're not taking into consideration what he did for 'em. First of all most Germans were poor when he took power because they were paying reparations to the French. He immediately stopped doing that, restored their economy, n by 1936 most Germans were able to afford to go on vacations again (that wasn't the case for over a decade). He made Bmw to start making cars (they were only making airplanes until then), Mercedes went bankrupt, he saved it, Volkswagen was his doing as well. One doesn't become the ultimate leader of 80 million people, just because he says so. They've liked the idea that he was gonna unite all of the German speaking people, n restore their empire again, they've believed him. Germans are very smart n disciplined people, it wasn’t easy to fool 'em, which wasn't his intention (to fool 'em), they just didn't succeed.

    Why did Hitler happen? Because rest of the western Europe (especially French n Brits) were fuc.king with Germans for decades. They were all allowed to have colonies while Germany wasn't. Then the WW1 happened, where they've fuc.ked 'em over again (especially in the aftermath), so Germans were like f all this we're gonna colonize the entire world.

    Nationalism always ends up twisted and the root of a lot of racism and bigotry.

    The right considers themselves morally superior with the added caveat of doing thinking they're God's work.

    A lot of things you argue aren't morally based a lot are. You think DEI discriminates against white men. That's a moral position. Chastising using the term left is morally superior. Your obsession with Islam is morally based and you flood us that ****

    The problem you have and don't recognize is this forum is left leaning and you are very opinionated causing a lot conflict for you
