The Canadian government is aware of the death of a Canadian citizen in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and is “urgently seeking more information from U.S. officials.”
You can really see how Hitler happened when there was no free information flow like the internet. Even now people are confused but imagine if all you had is literally just hearsay and the newspaper says nothing bad is happening and there are no goons kidnapping people.
I even understand much better why Germany fell prey to fascism at the time. Germans had gone through two million KIA, major territorial losses, a once in a century pandemic, hyperinflation, crippling economic war reparations and a once in a century economic depression in the span of less than twenty years and yet only a third of them voted for the fascist in the last free election. Keep in mind that democratic tradition was not firmly established in Germany by that point. Meanwhile US citizens have gone through a major economic crisis in 2008/9, a major pandemic and and increase in egg prices and suddenly more than half of voters there chose the fascist.
