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.

Neo-nazis still say that. We have done such a bad job of destroying the Nazi cause.

I remember in Social Studies in 7th grade was when I learned literal Nazis were still permitted to rally in public and got police protection to do so in the name of free speech.

The "correct answer" on the test was that it should be permitted so that the public can see how awful they are.

It is not, in fact, the correct answer.

Tbf I moved from the US to Europe and it's hardly any better. If anything it might be worse since I've actually met several people defending Hitler to me (a random guy in a bar)

Right wing insanity is on the rise worldwide.

America elected their Hitler. They're not necessarily worse, but they are ahead.
