26. Rome is a good example. As a matter-of-fact, much of German
facism was borrowed from Rome. It's no coincidence that the Kaiser stood for Caesar and the eagle was one of their emblems. Hitler didn't pull facism out of a hat, he already had a model there. Germany was a democracy only from WWI to the rise of Hitler and many Germans longed for the days of the monarchy again when the Weimar Republic couldn't handle all that was thrown at them. Nazis seemed to be an answer to many Germans.

We have the same here. White people who long for the good old days personified by Ward and June Cleaver, or Ozzie and Harriett, when you didn't get questioned about your guns,women kept their mouths shut and did the cooking and cleaning, gay people were in the closet and all you needed to conduct your life was the Bible. Yes, the PNAC offered them all of that and that disgusting liberal, Bill Clinton, on a silver impeachment platter.
