Yes, except last time we were the good guys.
That is what scares me.
Though to be honest, Hitler modeled a lot of his eugenic laws on what some US states had been doing for years. Look up the book “War Against the Weak”
I hate to break it to you. It wasn’t just over there.

Buck vs Bell 1927
Upheld that eugenic sterilization was constitutional.
8-1 with only Butler (R) dissenting.
Taft (R), Brandeis (D), Holmes (D), Devanter (R), McReynolds (D), Sutherland, (R) Sanford (R) and Stone (R) concurring.
Even with a republican majority on the court - this sterlization bill passed.
