     @Tarnport I mean, most of the people in Nazi Germany were also getting up and going to work in the morning.

     @aral yes this. But... I'm not sure the people inside the country see it that way. From what my American friends are telling me, they're still getting up and going to work every morning like nothing has happened and nothing is going to happen. They're literally saying stuff like, well, what can you do? And I'm like... Run!

     Earlier on a post elsewhere an European person expressed bafflement about how many positions considered normal and obvious in a decent society are considered "Radical Left Wing" on the US, and someone answered with "Helps to think of America like a white Saudi Arabia". Incredible how well it fits.
