It's okay.
People haven't forgotten the genocide of indigenous populations that happened when the Americas were first colonized.
I don't think anybody will let them live this down either.
As a nation, we have had two indelible stains on our history that we can never erase - the genocide of the indigenous people on our hemisphere, and slavery.
Now we will have a third one - The Trump Era. We will have to wear it forever, just like Germany will always have to wear their Nazi Era.
america has nazi party, it never was dealt with, just hidden.
It's not so much that they are actual Nazis, it's just that MAGA and Nazi are the manifestation of the same ugly demographic slice that ALWAYS exists among humanity. Healthy societies keep that ugly slice of humanity under control in various ways, but now and then society weakens, and that ugly slice of humanity gets too much power, and because of who they are at their core, they cannot resist the opportunity to exploit and abuse that power.
It's not that MAGAs are really Nazis, it's that MAGAs and Nazis rose from the same source of bad humans. It's a nuance that many people don't understand.
There's also the crazy amount of foreign incursions, destabilisation and coups, TBF. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen... and this is all post WW2 only. 😞
i had a prof in college that is still incensed that the govt did nothing for navajo people, he was navajo, and his attitude often translate in his anger when he is annoyed by students.
