Nazi rose to power in Germany because too many people had this defeatist attitude

It’s too late, buddy; the fascists already control everything.

They do not, Trump’s appointments are not yet in place. It’s never too late to fight for democracy.

As a Canadian looking in, it’s hard not to agree with pearsaltchocolatebar. Although I do love your determination, you might end up having to fight for it more literally.

I’m not sure why you think his appointments are the issue here.

That’s an incredibly reductionist and ahistorical explanation of how the Nazis overthrew the Weimar Republic…
Not to mention incredibly dismissive to the thousands of people who were literally battling brown shirts in the streets of Berlin leading up to the burning of the reichstag .
The Nazi didn’t rise to power because people had a defeatist attitude, it’s because the Nazi murdered their opposition, were perfectly fine with intimidating voters, and were backed by corporations and a significant portion of the population who blamed socialism for the economic slump of postwar Germany.
If you truly believe this, I highly suggest reading “The Death of Democracy” by Benjamin Hett. Phone calls aren’t going to sway the opinions of someone who fundamentally doesn’t think you should be alive.

Nazi has rose to power in Germany because liberals elected them.
