If Germans own #Hitler - and we obviously do - then Americans definitely own #Trump .

Saying: "I didn't vote for him!" Is no longer enough. Now the question is: "Do you comply, or do you resist?"

The Germans who grew up after WWII also asked these questions to the generations of their parents and grandparents... and the latter often failed to have good answers.

the German experience of having grandparents who didn't know things were happening, but then tell you about how their neighbors got picked up and transported away, their place of business given to the mayor's best friend or cousin. This includes the German experience of having your parents be very upset at their own parents for the stories they tell and which bits they leave out.

It is not the experience of every German. I know of several former Nazi who acknowledged their culpability. They weren't aware of the extent of the abhorrent truth at the time and there is a discrepancy of their experience of the time and what they were forced to acknowledge after the war.
Many of those former Nazi's had changed their thinking. I know from personal experience that many grandparent led a life in the spirit of tolerance & anti-authoritarianism in BRD.

America is a nation of sadists. As long as someone is getting punished somewhere, the punisher will keep getting elected.

I say this as an American who has despaired of anything positive coming out of electoral politics in my country.

...not unique to the US. It is a rather common tactic to gain a following anywhere. Common enemies unite. It is not surprising that the US stopped infighting between America 1st (white supremacy, socialism other movements after Pearl Harbor. Nothing unites like a common enemy.
