God help us all if the Republicans come in to power...and that's coming from northh of your border :(
Guy, fellow Canadian here. When the Confederacy fell apart they all ran away to us. And we fucking took them, ffs. Jefferson Davis lived out his treacherous life in Toronto. There are redneck, Confederate flag waving racists throughout the Canadian borders. I've even seen pro Trump flags up here in Canada. We've been infected by these fucks for a long time
That was the original sin that destroyed America.
We should have treated them like Germany, they even hung many of the surviving nazis after the war.
Instead we kept them out of power for a decade than turned our backs and let them slime right back in.
Nah, it was just a show in Germany, even at Nuremberg only like 10 Nazi were executed. Most Nazis were just absorbed back into their society but the Germans just passed specific laws to prevent the display of Nazi flags. That is really the biggest difference. The Germans even let former Nazis back into the government.
Germany didn't have 100 years of Jim Crow and the KKK, so whatever they did clearly worked.
