I’m just curious what people like Marco Rubio and Mark Zuckerberg, who are passively supportive of the installation of authoritarianism, would have learned at school about that period in Germany.

I’m asking this as that question and not as a leading question into a discussion on today’s politics.

What is the level of awareness the average American person in their 40s and 50s on how the Third Reich started?

    I went to a school in the middle of nowhere Texas and learned only about half of what you did and it still was impressed upon us how terrible the nazis were. There’s no reason any American shouldn’t know that this is heading right back in that direction.
