what is the point . people should be angry about ice shooting citizens in the streets, why try to make fun of them for made up reasons. and why do I keep seeing posts with this talking point about not not making comparisons to Nazi germany

You don't understand! You have to be upset about fascism correctly

I mean, they aren't wrong. Nazi Germany was inspired by how the US treated marginalized groups.
This post doesn't scream "you're doing it wrong", rather "hey, let's try this tactic and see if it helps even more people understand what we're going through right now."

Why you shouldn’t compare the US to Nazi Germany?
US Americans are learning right from the start how awesome their country is. The best in everything, no other country can compete, no other country is better than them.
Also they are so proud to have won against Nazi Germany and they also think that it was solely them who did this. Allies? No need to mention them.
So it’s unthinkable to them, that the best country in the world, their country, could be (even if only partially) as bad as Nazi Germany, the one they defeated on their own.

They they they. The US has 350 million people and the majority of them don't have a fraction of the ultra patriotism you're describing.
Don't pretend like "Americans" wanted this. Very few people are getting what's coming to them

Germany had a population of 65 mio. in 1933. Compared to Trump Hitler got less of the votes. The majority didnt have a fraction of the ultra nazism. Dont pretend like "Germans" wanted this. Very few people knew what was coming for them.
Well did that stop Hitler?

The USA is the number one most patriotic country in this world.

And how would that make what I said untrue?

The “ultra patriotism” does exist. You don’t like this fact and you try to make it seem less harmless by insisting that not all Americans are like this, just a couple of weirdos.
By making it seem harmless you normalise this behaviour, but that’s not the way to go if you want to end this.

I never said the ultra patriotism didn't exist, I said it didn't apply to the majority of Americans.
I'm also not "making it seem harmless," I'm calling you out for your dumb blanket statements.

The amount was sufficient for the government “they” have now.
So go ahead and dream on that it’s not as bad as I made it look like.

Go ahead and get all of your opinions from American propaganda on the mainstream news networks, I guess.
Clearly you know very little about this country and only pay attention to sensationalism. I guess that's typical for a Nazi country. I should assume all Germans are Nazis because of the afd got 20% of the votes, right?

Fuck that bro, most of us couldn't tell the difference between Trump and Harris, and that's all our faults. You either helped make this happen or helped let this happen. Unless you've voted Dem in primaries and generals for at least the last decade, this is your fault.

I've voted as far left as possible in every single primary, local, and federal election since I've been eligible except for two but thanks for the accusation!
