Particularly now, when we see a major political party in the U.S. demonizing its opponents, enshrining a former President who lies, demeans and insults, fans anti-immigrant, white nationalist rhetoric and basically wants to steal his way back to power by electoral fraud
I had to check the date on this post. The democrats already did all that.
You're spot on about the hitler stuff though.

The belief that people are smarter now than they were decades or 100s of years ago is bullshite. We are more advanced not any smarter.
The Germans were not stupid, they knew they couldn’t win any protracted war. The only thing we did that really surprised them was how fast we were able to mobilize. They were thinking year or more, instead of months.
They planned even after they declared war on America on cutting a peace deal with us if they could. They looked at us as potential allies eventually, or subordinate state allies like Italy but higher on scale. The problem was always Britain and their relationship with us. They really didn’t want a war with British for fear of our involvement. and their Navy. They couldn’t even control everything they needed allies. If they had waited a few years they could have been anti communist with the west against Russia etc just like Franco.
Truth is they always had lots of idealogical supporters in both countries. Through operation paperclip we basically became allies with them anyway
