Strange, when you think about it ... how much of what the Nazis wanted has come to pass: eugenics, euthanasia, abortion for "undesirable" children, the de-Christianization of Europe ...
It's almost as if big parts, or perhaps the whole, of the Nazi program were authored by someone else, someone who is continuing it today, someone who didn't die at Stalingrad, in 1945, or at Nuremberg.
Perhaps he's able to do that because he isn't human, and isn't mortal, and is really pretty powerful now, just as he was in 1945.

“how much of what the Nazis wanted has come to pass: eugenics, euthanasia, abortion for “undesirable” children, the de-Christianization of Europe ...”
And they way Hitler convinced the populace to accept all of the above is absolutely no different than what they do today. Switch your morality from what you are doing to the victim to how much better all the rest of us will be without them, add a little logic to it, take small steps in the beginning, and before you know it the unacceptable is acceptable.

Are you referring to Sauron, or Roosevelt?
