All of what I said there is true. I'm cool with you adding to it, but I don't want it to appear like I was giving out false information. I agree that there are echoes of 1920's Germany here, but we are neglecting to actually look at cause and effect. People elected Trump because they can feel that the left is fundamentally trying to destroy their national identity. You are completely disregarding the role democrats are playing in their own negative public opinion. This movement isn't just happening in a vacuum, dude. It drives me nuts that we constantly have to debate issues within parameters defined by the left.

To your point, I think the stab-in-the-back myth has more validity than that wiki article leads you to believe. There's a LOT left out of that article you linked. There are so many moving pieces to history, it's hard to pin everything down. Again, I don't really feel like typing out an essay, but that article barely mentions the Balfour Agreement, which was a MAJOR part of the German zeitgeist leading up to WW2. They believed that the Zionists offered Great Britain their considerable influence and money in exchange for the promise that they would receive Palestine. Shortly after the agreement, the US got involved in the war, which ultimately lead to their defeat. Whether or not it was a direct result of the Balfour Agreement is unclear, but the Jews did have considerable influence in the financial and political institutions in America. Don't get me wrong, I am not defending Hitler. Just want to state that, since, you know... that's a thing now.

Comparing that sentiment in Germany to the Democrats stealing the election is a stretch. We're not talking about 20 years of myth building here. But people believe Democrats stole the election because literally EVERY single thing they do with regards to our voting systems removes honesty and transparency. Why? Because it makes it easier to cheat. Can we prove it? Nope. Doesn't change my opinion. Not going to go back into the statistical improbabilities surrounding this election, but I'll say this: Even if Trump was shouting from the rooftops that he lost the election fairly, I wouldn't believe it. It's insulting that you think I need a person to tell me what to believe. I think most conservatives feel the same way, but I won't speak for them.
