Posting this tonight for no particular reason:

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is 'Nazi.' Nobody cares about their motives anymore."

@jik The same can be said about people who call themselves MAGA Republicans. Mindless drones incapable of reading the signs of authoritarianism and danger to the Republic, just so they can have a cushier life. Lazy and scared of change, cowards who think the past is always better. The past will never come back, politics are fluid and always changing, so get a grip.
