"When you study the Holocaust on an academic level, you learn two things: First, yes, however bad you thought the Nazis were, they were worse. And second, they were totally average, ordinary people. The second point is key. It's why historians are warning us now about Republicans."
And I think that today's Nazis in the USA and UK are further to the right than Hitler was at this stage of his rise. The Germans didn't just march in and start gassing Jews on Day 1.
I've covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. Have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous & contemptible than today's Republicans. Nothing close. - Edward Luce, Financial Times
I agree. And I was the CIA Director. - General Michael Hayden

Curious, I searched the web to find this exchange. The search found a Fox News story that defended the Republicans by saying they’re not as bad as al Qaeda. Seriously.

Yup, there’s several sources that reported that story.
