German here - I absolutely agree. I think the way Hitler rose to power is such an important piece of history. Nazi germany wasnt the first country to act like that. They didnt invent torture or mass killings, genocide, etc. It had happened before, everyone knew it, everyone knew that it can happen. And yet they voted blindly and thought "ah, well, it wont happen here". And low and behold, a few years later it does. I cannot feel sorry for people who vote out of habit and are then surprised that the government they voted for doesn't do what they silently hoped for.

Another German here. I also agree. However, it’s “lo and behold”. It’s basically a contraction of “look”.

Look at what the US is already doing. Torture, secret "trials", spying, internment camps, zero judicial oversight. It's very dangerously close already, it's only a matter of time until those in power finally take the thin mask off. Won't the citizens be surprised! Fox news never warned us of this!
