Because they will accept their own pain as long as it is inflicted in someone they don’t like. They are more worried about harming someone they falsely believed harmed them than helping themselves.

Excellent point. But I also believe that many of them thought that it would only affect those “other” people.

It’s classic Nazi playbook! We are ‘us’. If you not of our ‘us’ tribe then you are of the ‘them’ tribe. Because you are ‘them’ it’s impossible for you to join ‘us’! Ever! Therefore you are inferior! You deserve no respect or sympathy or care! GOP, MAGA are of the ‘us’ tribe!

Anyone paying attention to his speeches in the 2016 campaign could hear it. I’ve been reading about the Nazis and WW2 before I was really old enough to. I was born in 1953 and many people I knew were studying this stuff because it was still fresh in our minds. I’m very concerned about this crap.

I was born in 1951 in France and love history especially the 20th century. I read shit loads. In this era of streaming channels, 24x7 media, documentaries, online books and so on, one would hope that voters be better attuned to their political world!

Not when everything comes at 30 second sound bites. And for decades the education in American has been attacked and defunded.

How true. We’ve become a society of instant gratification. Nobody has the patience to take the time to learn what they should.

Considering where and when you grew up,it’s way more personal to you. I wish more people would not only learn more history,but strive to not repeat it.

That’s giving them credit that they actually thought about real consequences at all.
