Court Cantrell does not comply1d ago

The following is mostly a reply I gave in someone else's thread. I wanted to share it without risking the other threadfolk getting backlash.

Concerning whether or not US-Americans know and/or care that yesterday could easily have been the start of WWIII/a global nuclear event:

A lot of us care and are aware. Enough that we were checking the news every few mins yesterday & dreading the approach of 8pm EST.

Please don't paint all US-Americans with the same brush of dismissive judgment....

Much of the world holds the USA to blame for the USA’s and now the planet’s problems. For voting trump into office and not voting for the alternative candidate despite trump’s making it crystal clear what his intentions were to be.

@JorisBohnsonPM I am well aware of all of that. I am just asking the rest of the world to acknowledge that a great many of us *did* vote for the other candidates and we *have been* fighting Trump's regime every way we can think of. We're marching in protests, we're hounding our representatives, we're having the difficult conversations with family members & friends, we're teaching our children to stand firm against fascism no matter what, we're still voting even though it feels pointless....

As a German, I am used to being called a Nazi abroad, despite the fact that my mother was born ten years after the end of WW2.
Hitler was not elected by a majority of Germans. He became chancellor through backroom deals and the support of conservative elites, even though the Nazi Party never won an outright majority on its own. There was resistance but the regime’s repressive structures, Gestapo surveillance, terror, and lack of unified opposition, made it increasingly difficult over time.
I hope you can turn this around and recover your reputation.

Yeah like, "Well if Germans weren't Nazis then why didn't they stop the Nazis? They just let them Nazi up the whole place, because the German people are all secretly Nazis in denial."

And my question is "Why didn't the Germans imprisoned in concentration camps stop the Nazis?" It's much easier to answer.
