Well that’s been the republican strategy for decades now. They only succeed by lying. The good news is that the country is still split pretty evenly 50/50. I don’t know German history very well but I don’t remember hearing that non-Nazis were loudly opposing the Nazis. Time will tell how this all shakes out but I’m mentally preparing myself for the worst case scenario.

There sure was opposition to them (while it was still possible), that sure changed after they had enough power to get you locked up and killed for trying. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsbanner_Schwarz-Rot-Gold https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsbanner_Schwarz-Rot-Gold

Nazis had street fights with socialists and communists for years. They were the first to be purged together with homosexuals, transvestites, handicapped, etc. Media were largely acting like our current media, woefully ineffective and passive reporting on right wing violence. Hitler called then lugenpresse, now its fake news. Resistance continued after that but not in the open, can be seen in the large number of assassination attempts.

    It's a 25 point policy, and half of it is not exactly the same as Democratic Socialists in the US.

    Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated 7 months ago so you're not even close to right about that.

Surprise then for you: there were fewer Nazi's in Germany in both an absolute and a relative sense than there are Republican voters / MAGA voters in the United States right now.
