There a lot of very valid analogies to 1930s Germany going around, but the one difference is that we do have a history based on the Constitution, as tortured as its interpretations have been at times. This is the way.

On a more mundane level, it took me into adulthood to understand that this applies to the basic people sitting around you in the pews on a Sunday morning, too. Turns out that a lot were not in fact "one of the good ones." That's long in the past, though.
