Nazis weren't just in Germany or Europe. They were here and very much still are here.

Features like this one, which detail American history, including the ugly parts of it, are why Trump and Republicans defunded PBS (and what does that tell us about them?). And it's why I contribute money to PBS every month.

Ran the bastards out. The KKK predecessor in 1923.

5. Yaphank, NY, as well.

I would love to see the names of all the members of the German American Bundts. I believe I may have had family members who participated.

2. They're still in Germany, but hidden.

In 1979, I was taken to the middle of German woods for "Jaegerfest". On the surface, it looked like a picnic with roasted meat, bread, and of course, beer.

And the German Jaegers (Royal Huntsmen) started singing Hitler Fight Songs with gusto.

Then in 1989, again, I was Germany at a private home. I was taken downstairs to the cellar. There in a glass case was Hitler paraphernalia: belt buckles, small daggers, medals.

There are third generations of Hitler devotees in Germany and they're waiting for support from Trump, the Proud Boys, Steve Bannon, and the like to take over again.

3. I thing we delude ourselves to believe they exist in any real

Numbers. True Nazis, kkk, etc are very rare and mostly hide it all as they aren’t accepted by anyone.
I am a collector of things and I’ve seen large collections of war bring backs, including Nazi. The collectors aren’t nazi’s nor do they follow it as a party, they are simply collecting because they are history buffs.

4. Trump's father was arrested for marching in a KKK rally and Patriot front marched in DC today for the 4th.

6. "the relationship between big business in the United States and ... fascism"...

Elon Musk
Mark Zuckerberg
Jeff Bezos
Rupert Murdoch
Larry Ellison and spawn
Marc Andreesen
Peter Thiel

etc.
etc.

It's still a problem. Moreso now than perhaps ever. Or, here we go again.

7. Thanks CousinIT

I'll watch that later on. A year or so ago there was another PBS American Experience show called "The Eugenics Crusade" - it's on YouTube and is a frightening video on the movement to - well, apply eugenics nationally in the US.

8. That's a good watch

Sobering but informative

9. I have a book about San Francisco in the 20th century and one of books has a picture of a Nazi

Rally in our SF city hall. I found it at a flea market and brought it especially for that picture !
