      This is the 50s, I think it’d be pretty easy to draw a line from casual racism to white supremacists. A key difference this time is that it’s not just Germans led by one insane man, it’s instead a bunch of redneck prices and conspiracy theorists.

        Before the US got involved in WWII, there was a giant Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden…

      I presume you’re not talking about Russia? You’re going to have a hard time showing them those Nazis.

      A person from 1950s will just be super confused when you say it because they’re going to ask you what country is Nazi. If you say the US they’ll just be confused further.

        “Who are these nazis”

        “Anyone that doesn’t have the same political beliefs as me!”

        “…I see”

          This denial is worse than any vulgar insult.

          We’re talking about violent bigots. People responsible for mob violence against democracy, and state violence against women and minorities. Stop fucking pretending we ‘just don’t like it’ when you try to make us less than human.
