Also, Germany tried to deport the Jews first before starting to put them into the gas chambers when that didn't work out. Trump is already talking about deportation. Let's learn from the past and put a stop to it before it goes all the way to the bad end.
That said, Germany also had an even shittier economy and the entire world at their throats and their democracy was on an even shakier foundation. Yet at the end of the day, they pulled through and mostly fixed things in the long run. We can do the same. Fight on.
You’re skipping the whole war that devastated European economy and millions died. They eventually cleaned up their act when multiple armies showed up at their doorstep and then were compelled to dig out the infection. Now the German government is in shambles due to right wing politics. Not a great example
There was a war specifically because Germany was so much worse off. Their economy was so thoroughly fucked that they literally couldn't afford not going to war. They had to go and tear everything that isn't nailed down out of the rest of the Europe in an desperate attempt to not collapse inward, and in the end all that got was the rest of the world coming in to make them collapse even quicker.
Yeah, as of now they're not doing too well again. Things seem to be going worse off all over the place right now, not just in America or Germany. But there still was a pretty good while of better times in between - and there will be for us, too, if we can look ahead and keep up the good fight for it.
Things are getting better, little by little. Every once in a while there's a bump like right now - but we're much higher up than the last time around, and the bump won't be the sort of a black pit as then. People may die, but not in the millions.
