“They are completely insane.”
Are they? Hitler was one country away from taking his basket-case country from nothing to conquering Europe - he was a GENIUS, played our side PERFECTLY. Antifa now SHOULD have been swatted down, like a fly, but, somehow, people opposed to them think they’re a legitimate political entity...and so they continue to get stronger.
The people who are insane are the ones who think Antifa can be reasoned with and those on our side who think that empowering Antifa (by letting Democrats win elections) will somehow ‘purify’ the Republican Party of RINOs without first getting all of us thrown into Gulags.
Not seeing it. (Nor asking you to substantiate.)
Hitler wasn’t “a genius.” He was a personality able to dupe morons into following him. His opponents were merely weak, so weak they made him look like a far smarter man than he was, and his supporters were so blind and bigoted they blamed their failings on everyone but themselves, completely misunderstanding the problems Germany faced.
A genius would never have adopted eugenics and turned it into a war on his own population. A genius would have lifted Germany to its feet and restored patriotism without identity politics and its inevitable violence. A genius would have risen in politics by building coalitions of support based on an uplifting agenda rather than one based on jealousy and unwarranted arrogance. A genius would have turned Germany around without invading a single neighboring country. But he didn’t choose well, he was just not opposed.
Instead, he mistook the lack of unified opposition to his invasion and territorial gains as a green light to take more, setting in motion the forces that would doom Germany to defeat. (And got hooked on mind-altering drugs on the way.)
Conspiring with Stalin to invade Poland was a mistake.
Breaking his pact with Russia after they jointly attacked Poland was yet another mistake.
Not seeing any genius there.
