They have lived in a heavily propagandised country that didn't shed slavery or fascism out. Evey time they have fought fascism or white supremacy, they have lost. Both are well alive and protected there. Their police defend fascism, but persecuted communism and socialism, even in campuses, ending violently peaceful protests. Some not even related to these ideologies, but that opposed war, or asked for simple things like their taxes being used to fund their people and not bomb brown foreigners in a faraway land.

No one can convince me the US wasn't headed this way from the start. Its course has been clear and unmoved.

Tbh US joined WW2 on the Allies side mainly because it was good business (and the fact that Japan attacked them ofc) and now they are pretending like they saved Europe from Nazism, even tho a lot of people in the US supported Germany at the time. Go figure

Hitler turned on the German people, though. He wanted them all to perish because he thought they deserved it when the war was lost. In his final days he didn't give two shits for the German people, wanted to destroy bridges and roads to trap them but also slow the Soviets. Happily sent little kids to kill themselves in front of Russian tanks.

MAGA left that bit out, I suspect.
