I have a dear friend who is married to a man who belonged to the Nazi party in his youth. Of course, he is very old now and just sits and watches Nazi documentaries on TV, dreaming of his youth, I suppose. He's a rough and vulgar man.
I have a dread fear of Nazis and, although they are not in power at this time I fear that a similar government could come to power if certain circumstances happen to fall into place. I think it would be naive to say that there will never be a populist-run government, because during the past 8 years I have seen hideous racism and bigotry in this very country that I thought was over and gone long, long ago. The good, and sad, part is that now we all have the awareness that such hatred exists in our very world today. It still shocks me, but I'd rather know than not know, or pretend it doesn't exist.
