We have literal, open and proud Nazis who wear swastikas, text their mom Hitler pics, and drive their cars into crowds. The concern is warranted.

We have literal, open and proud Sodomists, who drink gallons of piss, text their 100 butt-buddies monkeypox pics, and drive global viral pandemics. The concern is warranted.

Nazism can't be forklifted into 2020s USA, _even if_ someone texts his mom Hitler pics. That guy is LARPing, like many do, and killed and injured people in the process. It's awful that this happened but it's still not proof that Nazism is not he cusp of emerging in the US. There are others who are convinced the US is on the brink of a Leninist coup. They are also wrong, since that too can't just be forklifted to another place and era.

It's a strange thing about today: many people want it to be some other time and place and try hard to pretend that it is. It's kind of understandable that much of this centers on WW2, given that a lot of the patriotic mythos in the US comes from that time. Maybe because it's the last time the USA won a major war and got to feel heroic, write history, etc.
