Do you talk to kids in Daycare about Nazis? How often did you grow up in later life, and have to learn that much of what you learned as an innocent, naive child isn't exactly the truth? The world is made simple and uncomplicated for children because children are simple and uncomplicated. Teaching them the truth of the world, at that age, is probably considered inhumane. I'm starting to think that conservatives really prefer to return to that blissful idyllic life of childhood ignorance. (Hell, I get it--wouldn't we all? but few of us accept such fantasy delusions of what can happen).
Want to stop Nazis with education? Well, what about all of those American Nazis today that supposedly learned about actual Nazis and what they did through middle school, grade school and college? What's their excuse? Oh, that stuff is considered "liberal education," right, because it's not hard math and science, and you're just wasting your time learning about that stuff. History! Who needs it, right?
Vote for political leaders who oppose Nazis. Well, 3 million more people voted for the anti-Nazi than voted for the pro-Nazi this election, and the pro-Nazi still won. What the fuck are we supposed to do, now, when the minority party of nazi-supporters is in charge, yet bitches and screams that we need to just "Stand by and listen until this all blows over?"
No, fuck that. Do yourself a favor and learn the lessons that you claim others need to learn.
If you're saying that Trump, someone I hate with the heat of a thousand suns, is "pro-Nazi" then you've made clear there's no point in speaking to you. He's a bully, a dolt, a narcissist, a philanderer, a liar, and much, much more but he does not advocate for the mass genocide of the Jewish people. He may even be racist, but there is still a long way to go from being a 71 year old garden variety racist to "pro-Nazi."
Step back, take a deep breath, and come back to this discussion when you can argue something with logic and reasoning, not pure emotion.
