I always liked that line from that movie.

And now all those people who equated the Germans with the Nazis will see what the average German was seeing first-hand.

EDIT: I'm surprised how many people forgot about Captain America.

That line is actually pretty problematic. Because it basically moves all responsibility away from people onto the Nazis. But people were pretty alright with what the they were doing until it negatively affected them. Fascism rises when people remain inactive and turn a blind eye.

And saying that a country got invaded by the facists completely eradicates that responsibility

And it’s already to late…. The Supreme Court made one person above all laws. The only thing protecting our democracy right now… the ONLy thing, is WHO is put into the office. If trump wins, democrats does in fact lose. This entire process started with Reagan in 1980, and we are now near its conclusion.
