"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

(Exchange on Twitter before that shithole platform itself was transformed into a megaphone for Nazis by an absolutely despicable Nazi enabler, Elon Musk.)

No. 1 song Rich Men North of Richmond:

"It's aggravating seeing certain politicians act like we're buddies like we're fighting the same struggle like we're trying to present the same message” Oliver Anthony said sharing his candid reflections

He also said the mention of his song at the GOP debate was "funny”

"Because I wrote that song about those people," he said, with a laugh.

"That song's written about the people on that stage, and a lot more, not just them, but definitely them”
