No.

I know people always, always, always want to talk about Nazi Germany right now.

And like, I get it.

OK, I'm not saying that there are no commonalities.

Of course, there are.

It's so important to me that we focus on the commonalities that we have in American history because we are so different from Germany.

Germany was very ethnically homogenous.

It's a small country compared to ours.

They don't have the same issues that we had.

Nazi Germany came out of a very particular time, place, and people.

We are a different time, place, and people.

So there's that.

Study Nazi Germany if you want.

I'm not saying don't.

But if you're going to study Nazi Germany, but you're not going to look at the Black Panthers, and you're not going to look at the Civil Rights Movement, and you're not going to look at Reconstruction, and you're not going to look at Jim Crow, then...

You're not going to come up with any viable solutions.

Because resistance in Germany came from the Soviet Union coming in.

Right.

And, you know, but resistance in America comes from black and indigenous and Latino people.

Yes.
