The level of hatred and the rise in antisemitism on the left shows that it could happen here too. Just look at the treatment of the J6 prisoners. We have not herd many of their stories yet.
We should also "exert economic pressure" against those states within the United States that allow, encourage, and support the slaughter and butchery of one million preborn babies annually!!!
Education might help with some people but it is not a blanket solution.
Many people on the Left—millions in fact—are profoundly brainwashed. Education will not affect that crowd one iota.
Those people will have to be deprogrammed. And, frankly, I'm not sure this country recognizes and understands the problem sufficiently to undertake such an endeavor.
Nazi Germany required defeat in war to recognize the problem. What will be required in America?
America's problem looks more like the Biblical "strong delusion"...and it isn't just America.
I visited Dachau in the 60s. Life changing experience. Hard to imagine what went on there...
My daughter went to Dachau in 2015 the summer between her Junior and Senior years in high school. It was part of a tour organized by her high school german teacher. They went to Frankfurt, Lucerne, Vienna, Munich, and Salzburg.
Mass Murders and concentration camps are nothing new in the human condition. The existed long before 1930. And they will exist for ages after us. They are horrifying every time, every place.
The difference was the location and the industrialization of it. We also know that it’s going on. We choose to ignore it as a species.
I recall it was Gen. Eisenhower who ordered everything documented by photographic evidence knowing that people would not believe what was going on in Germany. And look at our university campi today. Mass bullying needs to end by full expulsion without any return of tuition.
I always think of Edward R. Murrow’s description of Buchenwald.
Imagine people hearing this for the first time back in 1945, how many would have believed it?

Guess “never” doesn’t mean what it was thought to mean.
I have no love for China or North Korea, but I doubt either country, at least these days, simply rounds up people, community by community, gasses them, and throws them in ovens.
But I do agree with the second half, the Democrats DEFINITELY want to do the above to Trump supporters and will, once they have the pieces in place that they need for it (the White House and majorities in Congress). The rest (judges, the military, rigged voting, and the federal workforce thinking like they do) will fall into place once they control the White House and Congress.
People in the US have NO IDEA what they’re advancing when they vote Democrat or sit out an election because so-and-so is a RINO and will only have themselves to blame when the Chinese come over 50 years from now and document the horrific things that Americans did to each other.
And never forget, it could not EVER happen in Germany back then, as most Jews thought at the time when they thought Hitler was nothing but a loudmouth.
Wikipedia: “The camp was originally intended to intern Hitler’s political opponents.”
Like J6ers in the DC jail.
So long as an opinion is strongly rooted in feelings it gains rather than loses in stability when it is subjected to strong factual arguments in opposition. For if it were accepted as a result of argument, the refutation of the argument might shake the solidarity of the conviction; but when it rests solely on feelings, the worse it fares in argumentative contest, the more persuaded it adherents are that their feelings must have some deeper ground, which the contrary arguments do not reach; and while the feeling remains, it is always throwing up fresh entrenchments of argument to repair any breach made in the old.

Merely to be there, twenty-five years after its liberation, was a nightmare from which I could not awaken.
Standing in a barrack, staring out at the yard, I was afraid to turn around. I feared that the nightmare was real and my life an illusion, that I would find myself among inmates there.
My life changed there...then.
I still have a hard time believing that it was real and not a nightmare.
