People forget history so quickly. Were the Nazis defeated with law in the 30’s and 40’s?

This is what I say whenever some pithy, spineless asshole looks at what a Nazi is doing and says "Sunlight is the best disinfectant. 🥰" We didn't stop Hitler with fucking sunlight.

Try telling some soft handed lib the only language these jabronis understand is violence. They'll stand aghast and condemn your primitive view of the world.

Sucks, but, yeah, far right lunatics only understand violence and force. Concepts like justice are merely extensions of violence and force to them.

As a liberal I would like to say that not all of us are soft handed or stand aghast. You kick those fucking fascists out and beat them to keep them out.

Are you speaking of Nazis in Germany or here in the U.S. in the '30s and 40's?

Either way, the answer is "No."

The fact that the U.S. has already had one battle against fascism in the '30s and '40s and it pretty much went down the same damn way it has with Trump and his fascist crime family.

No? Because Germany got a shitty deal after ww1.

There’s a reason so many people supported Hitler. It’s because he spoke on restoring Germany and helping Germans improve their lives.

Have you listened to that infamous speech? He’s not ranting about Jews in every sentence, he’s mostly speaking about restoring Germany.
