I’m German and my father is such a Trump fanboy, it’s sickening. I used to immediately debunk the hyperlinks he’d send to facebook or group chats, but he’s been pretty quiet to me lately. I have lost all hope of changing his stubborn mind until actual mass executions are committed, so I’m just collecting all this shit to throw in his face afterwards to at least get the satisfaction of showing him why I was against this coming regime long before mass executions.
I spent a semester in Niedersachsen in Gymnasium (for those unfamiliar with the German education system, there isn’t just one type of secondary institution, though I can’t imagine being an exchange student for Hauptschule), and the American education system still did a decent job of covering Hitler’s rise, but with glaring holes.
Actually living there, you get a lot of context. Not that we were hanging out at the Rauchpavilion discussing the Third Reich or anything, but interactions in the '90s were still strongly informed by the Nazi era. A primary example is that anyone who claimed to be proud to be German was inherently ostracized.
All of this is ultimately throat clearing to arrive at: This is worse than Americans have been led to believe (in combination with declining education standards).
Much worse.
When you’ve been spending time among people whose parents lived through the Nazi era, you hear the sorts of stories we’re now seeing hit the news daily. Daily. It doesn’t get better from here.

Let’s be honest… Most of these people are so far gone that even mass executions with be normalized.
"He’s only.executing the bad ones!“
Unfortunately, you’re probably right
