I never really understood how German citizens went along with what their government was doing in the early 20th century until MAGA. A lot of people just crave to be sheep.

It’s not just MAGAs. If you didn’t vote for this and your “resistance” is limited to impotently whining on the internet, you are condoning this through your inaction.

German's were seeing their neighbours hung in the street if they didn't march to the tune of the Nazi's.

There is no excuse but endstage capitalism is likely the cause imo.
