Edited: I wrote a bunch of stuff that my American grade education taught me about Nazi Germany but it was wrong.
Like how Nazi Germany was very one minded - it wasnt. The Nazi party at best represented 33-39% before they stopped counting.
Or that the population they targeted was more or less numerous. Trans people are < 1% of the population. The Jewish population was right around . 79% by best estimate prior to becoming in very real danger.

Great article, thank you!
There's unfortunately a lot to compare with the two parties.
The Nazis achieved 44% of the vote, and they weren't the only fascist party. Another achieved 8%.
