USA by criminals for criminals. Absolutely disgusting country, just as bad as Putin's Russia.
To the American population: The fact that you elected this corrupt criminal pedophile malignant narcissist of a moron twice will never be forgotten - never!
Sadly, you're wrong. It will be forgotten. That's why history keeps repeating itself.
If people didn't forget, they wouldn't have voted for fascists. After the war, people swore they would never forget the horrors of fascism either. And yet... Trump is soiling the White House today.
Has Hitler been forgotten?
This time it's even worse, because Americans have been taught about Hitler and Nazism and the horrors that follow with authoritarian governments.
Americans have no excuse, they should have learned enough from history to not repeat the mistakes of Nazism.
To be fair, it was different people.
Certainly wasn't America saying that
Hell yeah! This is why Germany is still shunned by the global population after all these years.
And why Germany has no right wing influence now
Yeah but was just Hitler. We're talking about Trump here.
/s just in case
Edit: I read the above as sarcasm, I don't think Germany is still shunned, but it is for sure still remembered what they did in WW2.
Original post:
Has it been forgotten, if you mention Hitler, does anyone still remember? No it will not be forgotten, just as the USA helping Europe hasn’t been forgotten. But the reason Germany was slowly forgiven was first that they were split in 2 making the power of Germany smaller, it was a different time, with no prior historical lesson to learn from regarding Nazism. and that the political environment in both parts of Germany was changed completely, with Western Germany taking responsibility more than any country had done before them.
ok
I'd argue it's worse, the Russians didn't exactly elect theirs
They didn't?
Elections in russia are sham elections
Back in 2000 he won fair. He did so by playing a strong conservative and nationalist campaign and ridiculing his opponents with the help of a lot media coverage from friendly channels.
Even now I'd say he doesn't even have to cheat in the elections themselves because he changed the country itself to the point where he can have any real threats thrown in jail or killed and has a firm hold over what most of the population knows and gets suggested just keeps him very popular.
In a lot of ways it's Trump, after he's been allowed to stay in power for 26 years
He may very well have won fair 26 years ago, but the way you explained the second half I think would qualify any elections had as "sham" lol
