    The majority of Germans thought Hitler was an idiot. It was the idiots who followed him who brought him to power. Just like maga. The fact is that a few generations from now another idiot fascist will rise to power and another group of people will be equally astonished at the stupidity of their voters.

    It’ll go something like: “Oh my god WTF are you thinking!?! He’s doing exactly the same thing as trump and Hitler!! He’s a fucking fascist!! He just did a fucking maga salute FFS !!!”

    The problem is that the people who really need to learn from history don’t see any need to. It’s the idiots who repeat history and we have to sit here watching them stick their dick in a beehive, knowing that everyone is about to get stung.
