The problem is that worldwide, Nazis have gone from fearing for their lives to emboldened
Yep, Nazis need to have consequences for choosing that way of life. They need to feel the fear they subject so many others to.
Do they though? Aside from a handful of them that one time? I seem to remember a bunch of them being employed by NASA
That doesn’t change what the other user said.
Okay
The reasons he’s in power in the first place is because they’re emboldened. He’s a symptom, not a cause.
He’s both, he’s a catalyst
I don’t really have an answer to this minidiscussion, but to me it was eye-opening to learn about the Tea Party (early 2000s) specifically, how it was sponsored by Very Rich People™, even astroturfed, how its stated goal was the infiltration of the Republican party, and how of course all their ideology and demented ranting were very much the same as what we see today.
And once my eyes were opened I started seeing it everywhere, going back in time: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, the very questionable influencing by so-called christian churches, Big Oil deliberately making kids stupider, etc etc etc
And of course that’s only the USA; I must admit I’m not so fluent in other countries, but surely we must see that assholes like Netanyahu or Orban predate Trump. There’s also the Phillippines which basically experienced a Trump in 2015 iirc.
tl;dr: Trump is “only” the culmination of something that we have since dubbed “Trumpism”.
