I've heard and been in discussions where the question was, "How would you have reacted to Hitler in 1936?" Most people are quick to jump on the right side of history, saying they would condemn him right out of the gate.Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2024 7:32 amNever in my life did I imagine that we would be having to navigate the situation we are in today. Given the Holocaust, I never thought we would have to cope with a Mass movement in the US in which Americans deployed eliminationist rhetoric against other Americans. It’s mind blowing.
What's interesting about the time we live in is that we all have that opportunity right now (well, actually, we had it in 2015, and half the country failed). What side of history do you want to be on?
We've got a ton of Trump supporters showing us exactly how the Nazi supporters in 1936 were sucked in. And of course, they justify this by saying that Trump isn't Hitler (except for all his fans who want another Hitler). They're trying to absolve themselves on a technicality.
