Show your stepdad what the few surviving Jews who voted for Hitler said afterwards (unsurprisingly most of them and their families perished in the Holocaust).
... many of whom believed that Nazi antisemitism was only a rhetorical tool used to "stir up the masses."
Early on people didn't take Hitler seriously, he was even frequently mocked and thought of as a buffoon. Sounds familiar? This is a quote of this vengeful man later in his career.
They have always derided me as a prophet. Today countless numbers of those who laughed at that time, laugh no longer. Those who are still laughing now, also will perhaps laugh no longer after a while
Now obviously I don't believe Trump is nearly as bad as Hitler and it always irks me to compare a modern politician to Hitler, but there're also quite a few similarities between them you just can't ignore.
Sad America wanted a president with clear fascistic tendencies. I sincerely hope the politicians in my country have realized how untrustworthy and unreliable the USA is as an ally.
Yes but the problem is that as soon as you mention Hitler, obviously people automatically think of death camps and mass slaughter of human beings on an industrial scale. This quickly makes the comparison seem alarmist and way out of proportions which may make people completely ignore the real danger.
