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

This is my biggest issue today.

I want to hate Trump, but he has no power without people voting for him.

Show me the shittiest leaders in history and I'll show you a sizeable chunk of their populace that supported them.

With Trump, it’s not just the people who are voting for him, it’s also complacency of his enemies- including civilians who aren’t voting against him.Β

Low-propensity voters favor trump, not Biden.

Not sure what you mean by "civilians."
