A re-post if you don’t mind:
The thing distressing me though ain’t the GOP establishment or really truly Trump in himself though he of course does deserve blame is this rise of sympathy and even support for the Nazis. I mean the CSA crap? Bad enough says this second great grandson of an Army of the Potomac vet but actual Nazi fanboys and girls? I don’t remember my great uncle who was a WWII vet well but i definitely always looked up to the fact that he was a WWII vet. I still remember when I had clue what D-Day even really was being in awe of a classmate’s grandfather who spoke to us about D-Day one year or the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. I played WWII video games. I read Stephen Ambrose. I admired Easy Company and I asked myself if I would have the courage of a Richard Winters or Wild Bill Guarnere. I’m German-American. In fact, my dad’s grandfather was born in Germany and my last name is German. But never ever have I seen myself wondering if the Nazis were the good guys. WWI is a bit more complex in some ways but the Nazis? Nope.

I’ve said it before, but I never thought I’d see the day that people started to white knight actual avowed Nazis.

It hits me even moreso after finally playing Wolfenstein: The New Order, and seeing the backlash against its sequel because it was apparently too unfair to Nazis.
