The upshot here is not that there is no comparison. It is, instead, that Nazi propaganda was more extreme — and that its effects unfolded over time. We are not at 1945 Germany, but one historian I spoke with figured maybe we were at about 1930, which is by itself not great.

Many thanks to @miseryvulture.bsky.social for reminding me to listen to one of the sexiest songs ever written
"Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay / It only took my little finger to blow you away..."
