Seriously, they are both former military, my dad was in for like 30 years, how do they like the drunk secretary? I get that he saw combat, but being in combat doesn’t automatically make you qualified for… well anything except therapy and medical care.
Right, and those who supported Hitler were just poor misinformed good people.
I think it depends on what you mean by “supported”. But during the Nazi regime, the vast majority of Germans were, in some way or another, working to support the Nazis. But after the Nazis were defeated, the Germans became one of the most progressive people in the world. And these were the same people.
No. Hard No. The progressive Germany we (I live here) have today was fought AGAINST those that continued to shape Germany even after the war. A strong shift was the 68 movement that specifically questioned why people who worked in administrative positions under Hitler continued to work in sometimes the same positions in West Germany. And also it was not because the Germans were the one calling the shots. A lot of the democratic reforms were only possible in the first place because those Germans that championed them were backed by the guns of the allied forces.
And honestly most problems we currently have are exactly because of remnants from Nazi times that weren’t sufficiently destroyed.
And so currently we have exactly the same problem so many others have: conservatives who don’t conserve anything but rather are regressive and want back to a “good old days” that never existed
