North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) suggested at a prayer breakfast for the fascist "parental rights" group that dictators are being taken out of context.

“Here’s the thing,” Robinson said. “Whether you’re talking about Adolf Hitler, whether you’re talking about Chairman Mao, whether you’re talking about Stalin, whether you’re talking about Pol Pot, whether you’re talking about Castro in Cuba, or whether you’re talking about a dozen other despots all around the globe, it is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes.”

This is the Lieutenant Governor of a state (North Carolina) saying we can get gems from the quotes of genocidal maniacs. This is where we are now.

    The most relevant quote I could think of:

    “Only one thing could have stopped our movement - if our adversaries had understood its principle and from the first day smashed with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement.” - Hitler

    It’s just a shame that those who need to hear it are too busy calling us bigots for “calling everyone you disagree with a Nazi” while actual literal Nazis are getting organised in the background…

    It’s almost like living in a satire, not sure if it’s more absurd or scary.
