@Wbtphdjd German-American, chum. I have family history. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.
And it isn't THAT different. Trump had, and still has, tens of millions of "good Christians" supporting him.
@Wbtphdjd The parallel terrifies and disgust me.
Terrified, because of how close we came, and how close we still are.
Disgusted, because so many people are so incredibly stupid and toxic that they refuse to learn from history. They just want to hate and hurt to make themselves feel better about their own failure in life.
@Wbtphdjd Robert Heinlein wrote some pretty good science fiction, for being something of a libertarian anarchist asshole, but something he said sticks with me. "Crazy, stupid, and evil are hard to tell apart for an outside observer. Because, based on their results, they look pretty much alike."
