For all of the legitimate comparisons between the current regime in DC and Nazi Germany, there’s plenty of US history that is echoing right now as well. As Dr Richardson puts it:
“History is doing that rhyming thing again.”

"Miller’s white nationalism is not the concept on which this nation was built. The United States of America was built on the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the sweat and blood of almost 250 years of Americans, often those from marginalized communities, working to make those principles a reality.
The hierarchical system Miller embraces echoes the system championed by those like Hammond (Senator James Henry Hammond, D-SC, a wealthy enslaver), who imagined themselves the nation’s true leaders who had the right to rule. They were not bound by the law, and they rejected the idea that those unwilling to recognize their superiority should have either economic or political power."
