First off the rioters were not students, nor did they make up the majority who were PEACEFUL protesters.
Secondly, when we talk about the history of the Nazis and "brown shirts" we are not talking about people who simply show up. Brownshirts were ORGANIZED political gang. So now liberals are a fascist gang?
Yes to me they are every bit as wrong as the Tea Party.
How about no, fuck you, and bullshit.
Yes we DO know how Hitler came to power.
He sold himself as a savior, and the only one who could save the nation.
He sold hyper nationalism.
He vilified political rivals.
He vilified media unless it praised him.
He scapegoated multiple groups.
Kinda like what Trump has done for the past 5 years and is still doing today.
"Make Germany Great Again"
"Make America Great Again"
"I will defend the fatherland"
"I will defend the Homeland"
"The Jews are to blame"
"The Mexicans and Muslims are to blame"
Both sides are wrong in this crap.
