One of the biggest shocks to my conscience which contrasted this paradise was knowing the people in Germany mostly were convinced to go along with Hitler at similar approval numbers as the US with Trump.

Germans were isolated information wise and went through boiled frog syndrome because no one screamed bloody murder, we need to scream bloody murder and do it now and loud and often

... wondering how Hitler got so many Germans to go along with and Arnold is right Hitler wasn't too far away from similar following as Trump; people who were true believers then opportunist and then the go alongs who at the end were demonized while some of the true believers who weren't sent to jail melted back into society then it took Arnolds generation to call those people out on their attrocites.

Yes, ... the real reconciliation in central Europe wasn't really felt until their children were of age to know what happened.
