    I feel physically ill… I went to school from 96 to 2010… I remember social studies and American history… The Holocaust being taught… I remember asking my teachers… What would happen if people tried to change our country to dictatorships… Every teacher was emphatic that it would never happen… one, because both parties love the country and two this is why we learn about Hitler and Stalin…

    Wtf happened?!

      The answer to this is usually Reagan, runaway capitalism and the mega rich.

      As someone born in 98, it’s been sad and frightening to have grown up watching so many of my peers fall down the alt-right pipeline and pop out as fully radicalized fighting-age fascists.

            It’s been attributed to both Sinclair Lewis and Upton Sinclair, but it’s real origin is unclear.

      It Happened Here. An unfortunate result of believing in American exceptionalism and not being vigilant.
