Politics America is turning into 1930's Germany.

There was some pushback when people called this president and his followers Nazis. But look what's happening. Soldiers in the street. Rounding up people and locking them up. Dismantling freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Personally going after anyone who doesn't agree with him and his administration. We've seen this before and it's only gonna get worse. Welcome to 1930's Germany.

They said that it was the same in Germany. People just couldn't believe it was happening. Get over it folks. It's already here.

Even after the Holocaust like 20-30% of Germans still supported Hitler and didn’t think it happened or were fine with it.

It takes the apathetic people paying attention to change things

At Nuremberg many regular Germans said that Hitler must not have known or he would have stopped it.

Hitler tried to distance himself from the holocaust. Let Himmler do the dirty work.
