This is plain wrong. Nazi germany was super legalistic. It’s all about having awful people in power making awful laws. A good Nazi in Hitler’s Reich would be very rule abiding.
I guess it’s not supposed to be an actual comparison to the third reich and more a commentary on the failure of America, but it’s worth taking the lesson from history that whether something is legal or not is meaningless under authoritarianism.
Edit: also it’s an interesting exercise to place stuff like slavery, Latin American coups, CIA drug experiments, rocket scientist Nazi import, and the native american genocide on this axis of denialism.

Agreed the line should read “It happened, It is now legal and standard procedure.”
The Chump regime seem to be making the rules as they go.
Yeah, but they have the state apparatus by the balls, so that’s legal. Hitler also came to power legally.
The legal/illegal distinction is a shit normative indicator in the best of times, and a terribly dangerous one in the worst.
@AngryFrog26 the #US is already at the bottom level
This is what’s actually happening
They didn’t.
