Why are you being so rude? Please don't put words in my mouth, that is nothing like what I believe.

My views are something like what the average American believed in 1910. Were they literally Hitler also?

People are being rude because you're being a dumbass.

> My views are something like what the average American believed in 1910.

The question of birthright citizenship was settled law for 40 years by the 1910s, so this is - unsurprisingly - a lie.

1910's America with Jim Crow segregation, pre-Womens suffrage, pretty much peak wealth inequality with robber barrons?

That's not really a great counterpoint considering how much inspiration Nazi Germany took from the amazing levels of racism the US had. Jim Crow, miscegenation, segregation, citizenship…

The average American in 1910 wasn't a little Hitler, he was a Big Hitler. Hitler's father, even.

Good try, though, eierkuchen. I can see past you and so can everyone else.

America had a pretty decent sized fascist movement in the early 1900s.

“Average”, son. Was the average American a fascist in the early 1900s?

The fascist party in the early 1900s was a fringe party. It existed and was considered a legitimate opinion, fine, but don’t act like the average American was anywhere near fascist.

What in gods name would blood and soil even mean when you’ve got Italians living next to Irish living next to Poles living next to English? You haven’t got any blood to fascism about!

		> You haven’t got any blood to fascism about! Like that stops people. Hitler hardly matched his own Aryan ideal. > Was the average American a fascist in the early 1900s? … The fascist party in the early 1900s was a fringe party. That’s equally true about Germany. As the sibling comment notes, it’s the era of Jim Crow and the female half of the country can’t even vote.
