(90,371 posts)... economically ripped in 1933 like it was before 31 and Germany was ripe for demagogue based of economics for a vast number of reasons it wasn't.
Nazis only had around 33% support in the German parliament in 1932 at its PEAK only had 43% support (sound familiar)
but the right under the Nazis in the Germany was able to stay together better than the left (sound familiar).
It was the right in the country that was butt hurt after the fall of Kaiser and people coddled and ignored them and the danger they posed.
I think we're making a similar mistake; letting these racist terrorist whine instead of putting their asses in jail and demonizing them and their sympathizer anti democracy movement.
I've been listening to FAUX News for the last 5 days, they're getting worse not better and feel justified for their terrorism without the least bit of contrition.
To your point, we're ... NO WHERE ... near the economic shithole Germany was in around 33. Germany had an adjusted GDP smaller than Italy today when they attacked Poland !!!
