Antifa doesn't go around initiating attacks on churches, soccer moms and other "all-American" type families. The Alt-Right is out there shouting "You! Will Not! Replace Us!" (or alternately "Jews!", depending on how you heard it. Either interpretation seems valid). Furthermore the far Right's committed more violence in the US than have Islamic extremists
The brownshirts thuggish vigilantism brought Hitler to power. I wonder if this is why leftist politicians and the liberal media don't speak out against Antifa and even seem to condone their actions.
When Obama was potus and there was mass immigration to Germany, the liberals in German used the Nazi card on anyone who spoke out against the mass immigration.
GW Bush was constantly referred to, as Hitler, by political overreactionaries.

You're confusing Antifa with the Oath Keepers (as of late) heading to the border. As I said, Antifa doesn't attack all-American soccer mom type families out of the blue, nor does it even promote attacks on their dignity and human rights.
You obviously don't know much history do you. Knowledge is power because if you are knowledgeable you know when someone is feeding you propaganda. Obviously Dems don't have a clue about Hitler and Nazi Germany. Geez, the media who are supposed to be educated has to be laughing at Democrat supporters and their ignorance about Nazi Germany.
Turn off the TV and educate yourself about it. Stop letting them make a fool of you.
Yep. Most folks have little clue about Hitler, and what happened from 1933 onwards. He took Germany from a country on it's knees, to a country ready to go to war inside six years. Nobody asks how that was done. Where did all the money to finance that come from? Anyone can find out with a little investigation. It's an interesting story. It involves the rich and powerful as always.

Well, it goes without saying that some poor peasant didn't build oil refineries, autobahn and aircraft factories.
Didn't the Koch family build their top-end Aircraft Fuel refinery?
But, really, those details don't matter much. The political question is a different one. It seems as if humans are always reacting instead of acting. Germany reacted to it's losses by getting angrier and angrier. Instead of accepting their follies (which they did finally do after WWII), they continued down the same "Prussian Military Greatness" path. Militarism doesn't end well - didn't end well in Japan either.
I don't need her to say it, but she is welcome to express her thoughts like anyone else.
I am a student of History. I saw much of this coming piece by piece. No doubt that Far-Right authoritarianism follows a certain path. Trump is measurably much further down that path than any POTUS in history (for our purposes, the last 100 years just so we can at least deal with it).
There is a reason he is dead last among Presidential Historians and Scholars. It is specifically due to these tendencies - as well as the tendencies of his flock.
IMHO, Trump is currently killing a lot of people. That is, his words serve as an excuse and a dog whistle for others (Nigerian military, for one, plenty of bombers and shooters here, etc.) to create chaos.
Yes, there are many similarities. Jane is correct.
But there are also some differences. We have learned something since the days of Adolf and our system has some checks which make the FULL MONTY unlikely.
What did your History lesson teach you about Cultural Marxism and the association with the Alt-Left??
Hitler was heavily influenced by Marx. He was a collectivist, and believed in the subjugation of the individual to the benefit of the collective society. He hated the Jews because, as a group, they tended to be disproportionately more prosperous than the rest of German society, and Hitler didn't think that was "fair." Sound familiar? That's a very left-wing concept.
Just look at the propaganda posters, etc., from the time. They portray the Jews as rich, greedy, slave drivers. That's another theme very common among the left-wing in the US: hating the rich because they're prosperous.

Not only that, it's historical fact that National Socialism (aka Nazi Germany) is left-wing.
Some people "think" they got an education, when all they actually got was an indoctrination.
