This is right in line with a larger project I’m working on: most Americans today will dismiss any comparisons to Naziism because, well, “get back to me when we start building ovens.”
As if that was the only thing the Nazis did that was evil. And as if when it gets to that point, it won’t already be too late. (I don’t think we’ll be like the Nazis, because of cultural factors, but the Stalinists or Maoists. As many have noted, though, they don’t provoke the same revulsion as the Nazis do).
