EXACTLY.
It is fascinating and horrifying to see how closely today's events resemble those of the 1920's and 30's.
People were just swept up and washed away into the events of those days, "normal" Europeans who would've only wanted to live their lives. The extremists used them.
Just more reason to reform education; history is in many ways the most important subject to know, so young people will have a mental reference and institutional knowledge to learn from the mistakes of the past.

I don't think there is any comparison between POTUS and his followers to Nazis; but the similarities of what has been happening amidst his rallies and conservative speeches and ANTIFA and such is pretty uncanny!
Are you aware of the origins of the Brown Shirts in Germany?
ANTIFA was involved with their formation, and I saw the similarity with that while in Portland!
I was in a bar in Portland, and then there were protesters outside. ANTIFA.
Then some of the bar patrons got into verbal matches with the ANTIFA members.
This is exactly how the Brown Shirts were formed.
They were bar patrons and mostly war veterans from the first World War who had had enough of ANTIFA bullying conservative voices, so they formed the SA (Sturmabteilung) and the Braunhemden (Brown Shirts) who organized protection for conservative speakers against ANTIFA.
This is history repeating itself.

One of my great relatives from Germany was SS, he was first a brown shirt and served as lieutenant/deputy Gauleiter (Governor equivalent) of Bavaria area. He was surpassed when his Gauleiter died and he served a while as Gauleiter only to be replaced by someone he thought wasn't fit for the job, and then on the Night of Knives, the Gauleiter was arrested an executed…my relative was then put in his stead.
I believe he had lost his right arm during the war, and was a one armed Nazi.
He later only served as Gautleiter in Bavaria during the ending months of the war, and fought hard to keep his troops together.
Eventually, his final stand was in Regensburg and he had executed two men who were vocally advocating surrender to the incoming allies. For this he was convicted of negligence that led to manslaughter and served 3 years in prison.
He was released and worked at Volkswagen for the remainder of his years.
