For so long we have always referred back to Nazi Germany as the last massive fascist and authoritarian takeover, but with America at the gates ready to go full fascist the Germans must atleast be relieved that in a few years we will be taking about MAGA America instead of Nazi Germany.
W for the Germans I suppose.

Believe it or not, we’d prefer no fascists anywhere.

This is the correct response.

Glad it was already said, and by an actual German no less!
I was going to say “If I know Germans, they’re not happy. They’d rather leave fascism in the past and not have it exist anywhere. Also, whatever new government exists in the future, they’d like it to be really efficient, but also have triplicate paperwork. Which is somehow filled out easier than most single sheet forms.”
But then you came in, and summed up everything I was going to say.

Except those Germans who still think being a Nazi is great. Of which there’s a whole Eastern Germany worth of.

Yeah, this whole thought process is such an american way of thinking and an image of what’s wrong with the US.
This is not a popularity contest in high school.
In contrast germans are terrified whats happening in the US because they are much more aware of their past and clearly see the analogies and what all this can lead to.
