Holocaust historian unironically compares Nazi Germany to the US (enemy, ideology, stereotypes)

“If the US has someone whom historians will look back on as the gravedigger of American democracy, it is Mitch McConnell.”

Yes. because Nazi Germany showered billions on the Jewish State...and recognized Jerusalem as its capitol.

What a loon.

The defining feature of Nazi Germany was repeated, long-standing efforts to warn/discourage the Jews to stop meddling in and subverting German society.

So where is that in the current scenario that allegedly parallels this path?

We already have someone worse than Donald Trump and Justin Beiber combined

Same ideology different enemy.

In the US, it's Muslims, immigrants, gays, atheists, trans people, educated liberal whites, etc. Whenever you can dehumanize people based on their "tribe" you are one step closer to committing genocide.

'loon' barely touches the surface describing this nutjob.

Just your typical Leftist nut spouting off with ignorance yet again. No shortage of them in this country.

Nobody is being dehumanized based on their ethnicity or the color of their skin.

IF anyone is actually dehumanized its because they have done that to themselves, by acting more like animals than humans, or by refusing to follow the rules, laws, regulations, and social values of our civilized society and political association.

So to the extent some group has acquired dehumanizing stereotypes, the root cause is ALWAYS something their group has done, some way in which members tend to behave or believe, that is below the threshold for what we deem as the minimum to be a part of OUR group.

This is true for "class" and it is true for "othering" of foreigners. Its literally not us....it is THEM.
