Note that all the speeches that get into the newsreels and retrospectives came after the party was sufficiently entrenched to impose its rule.

I'm interested more in what it was like when it all started. If you don't see people in the US similar to those in pre-Nazi Germany, then you're not seeing the same people I am; or you don't have the same impression of what the ordinary folk were like in Germany. Either can be very difficult to see.

We do have numerous "politicians" who are determined to turn the US into a theocracy, if that's what it takes for them to get the vote. This includes large numbers in local and regional politics - not just the national set. They say so openly and proudly, because the people who will vote for them think that's a good thing.
