Read more of it.

In many ways Nazis were progressive run amok. They enforced a few theories well liked at the time.

The Nazis were the Teabaggers of the day, only better dressed. They were successful at the time because of economic desperation and a culture that respects authority far more than ours. They bought into the same sort of demagoguery as is spewed daily on talk radio and Faux.

The Nazis were far more than our poor abused Baggers. Such a comparison diminishes what the Nazis did while demonizing the Baggers.

Max touches on this.
