Its just a pet peeve of mine when the worst example is taken and applied to everyone, which was what this looked like to me.

People like you who excuse the actions of the Team Trump Treason Administration are not “good” people.
This claim of yours with respect to that woman was wrong to make:
“Isn’t this how it began in Nazi Germany before the holocaust? You know, gangs of roving Hitler supporters beating and intimidating those they found unworthy? “
It doesn’t take knowing the dates of 1940-45 (give or take) to understand that.
Why the focus on the perpetrator’s race? Another offhand way to dismiss the event? Trivialize it? Victim blaming? Your dismissal of what is going on makes you as guilty as those who knew and yet, did nothing. Not good people.

Are you denying the societal and political similarities between the initial stages of the Nazi party and these days with the GOP?
I'm not saying we are on a collision course with another Holocaust, but I am saying the US is conducting itself in a somewhat parallel manner. We should be very aware of such behaviour and should demand changes when such behaviour rears its ugly head- not build memorials afterwards with slogans like 'lest we forget'.
The 'similarities' have been well documented and I'm not going to bother regurgitating them. You can compare these crude first steps to many other brutal events in history too if you wanted (Rwanda, Yugoslavia, etc.). Of course, you can also scoff at them in an off-hand way too.
I would like to recommend a book to you titled, In The Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson. It details the rise of the Nazi party- in particular during the years 1933 to 1937- from the perspective of the American Ambassador's at that time.
Many German socialites and commoners defended the Nazi party during this era as well- never fearing it would grow too extreme (they scoffed... or worse... they were thrilled).
I'm from Canada for the record.Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

Kavanaugh will fall to the right of Gorsuch and the left of Thomas. Definitely tips the scales to the right, unlike Kennedy who could make the scales tip either way depending on the case being heard.
thst in itself isn’t bad in your mind is it? One can be of a religion and do there job without the bias of the religion no?
Im a bit like you, I have an initial reaction to all of that. But I’m trying not to cause they are allowed to have their beliefs so long as they do their jobs based on the law.hippiemom = goodness0 -
It's like Trump's thought bubbles are in this thread.Going downhill rapidly.0

Two instances of Nazi candidates running for the GOP. Or do you prefer Holocaust denier? Counter-Semitic??
So you went to Auschwitz and came away with the conviction that people who are concerned about increasing violence against minorities and demonization of immigrants are the “bad people”. Congratulations - you completely failed to grasp the point.

With respect to your second point I have zero problem with concerns about the treatment of minorities or the demonization of immigrants. I share those concerns. The republican party shares those concerns. The people who I think are “not good” are those who will compare voters concerned about illegal immigration to nazis. The guy in your link is a nazi. The standard GOP voter is not. Trump is not. Calling them nazis is a sick scare tactic that abuses a real atrocity. It abuses the memory of those who suffered under that atrocity.
