Yup. Too many people don't know their world history and it is terrifying.

I can't find the article now, but NYT interviewed around a dozen people maybe a week ago asking what they look forward to with Trump's presidency. One guy said it'll be wonderful, like the Roaring '20s -- without a sense of irony I think. O.o;;

I am seriously frightened. We still have time to change course, but already I feel we won't. Hitler on his own is a nobody. With all his supporters -- either willing or not -- he had crazy amounts of power. Will there be enough moderate Republicans to keep "checks and balances"?

I heard on the news this week that half of the Germans don't know that the Nazis killed 6 million Jews and 12% haven't heard about the Holocaust. Wot??? What DID they do in school?

[blakmagjick]

Looks...it's Trump's Playbook >.>

a lot of people I know who support him are still all RAH RAH RAH and I ask them how?
they can't answer, they just keep spewing the same empty campaign promises that have already been broken and when I ask them about those they blame Biden.
I don't get it, I really don't and it scares the shit out of me how fucking ignorant these idiots are

I studied the rise of Nazism at school, then did two more history papers [courses] in it in my first year at university. I did not expect in my lifetime to see this shit happening again.

Can I follow you on DW? I think you seem like a chill guy and I'm looking for people to connect with.
