I’m really sorry if i can’t give you any better source, but my source in this case is my Public Education.

Much of the history I've studied runs contrary to what I learned in the various history, government and civilization courses that were mandated in my own public education, and this was even before the gutting and revision that has been seen. So I'm going to continue to trust the sources I've read. And I'm going to continue to assert there are many similarities regarding the movements in the US (and UK, Canada and Australia, though I've watched them less closely).

No, I'm not saying it's exactly the same thing. But the US is exhibiting the fourteen symptoms of Ur-fascism detailed by Umberto Eco (whether you agree those are fundamental or not). It's also describable by the ten points by Emilio Gentile (same disclaimer). We do have the largest prison industrial complex in the world, and the highest rate of incarceration, which we are tapping for slave labor and allowing widespread abuse and killing by prison staff. And no small number of the incidents of in-prison death are in line with the fiction of Edgar Allan Poe.

And no, it's not going to go the same route. For one thing the US is much bigger. It suffers from a greater level of complexity and correlative chaos which resistance efforts can (and do) exploit. But right now, the US is trending towards authoritarian takeover. the US Supreme Court is stripping rights away from Americans (mostly our rights to due process, our protections from illegal search and seizure, our rights to privacy) The public only became generally aware of this trend after the Dobbs decision which removed the federal right to abortion access.

I can't say I know that it's going to end in the construction of a genocide machine or the massacre of Americans by the millions, or even a war of expansionism to carry the movement's agenda abroad, but these are certainly plausible futures were before the 20th century (and the 9/11/2001 attacks) such possibilities seemed remote. More than two CIA analysts (retired) have publicly stated the US fits the conditions that lead to civil war between the Christian nationalist movement and the rest of us. We can't say if it will break out in five years or fifty, but the US state and federal government are not taking the steps necessary to prevent such an outbreak.

The Holocaust is not sacred. The German Reich and NSDAP are not ultimate evils and the best way we can serve the memories of its victims is to strive to assure that it isn't happening again (something our Israeli brethren are failing at along the Gaza Strip, but that's another topic). Never Again is an oath that does not apply just to Jews but to all peoples, and that means comprehending the process by which societies turn on themselves.
