Wow, this is how Hitler came to power. They convinced Hindenburg to make Hitler the Premier in order to appease his people. We are reenacting 1930 Germany. This is why we need to teach real history.

Yep. Brownshirts, defund the police, propaganda and control of message.

Quite true,.. and needs to be repeated !
We don't have a Nevil Chamberlin to sell us out,
instead we have "The Atlantic", a ghost of publications past.
In the world of "Never Forget"(post 9/11), there is an attempt to repeat history.
This is why the Nihilists de-emphasize history and civics.

Teaching history doesn't work with these people. You can go to most places with comments on the internet and find people talking about how they will need to reeducate us and put us into camps, but they are not introspective enough to see that they are the totalitarians. They scream about the evil Trump while they contemplate exterminating us.
