How lessons of the De-Nazification of Germany after WW2 can help restore post-Trump America

I just love how informative public radio is. I found this link elsewhere and decided to share it here.

Pull quote.

Michael Brenner teaches history at American University in Washington, D.C., and Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Germany. He actually compares the U.S. Capitol riot to Hitler’s failed Beer Hall coup in 1923. He says it wasn’t until a few decades after World War II that Germans began to openly confront the past.

“Germany has done, I would say, a very good job in facing its own past, in making very clear that the Holocaust and how it came to both the Nazi rule and the Holocaust has to be taught in schools,” he said.

Germany hadn’t had a democracy for long when Hitler tried to overthrow it. He succeeded a decade later, Brenner said, in part because there was a lack of confidence in Germany's democracy. Now trust and confidence in America’s government need to be restored, Brenner said.

I personally look forward to embracing the forces of restoration. I'm sure the plan to reconstruct the Red states will be carefully thought out and magnanimously implemented by the caring bureaucrats in D.C., soon to be State of Columbia.
