Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rips Elon Musk: 'In this country, we hate Nazis'
"I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis," the Democrat said. "And I will do that until I am six feet in the ground.”
Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.
Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.
Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.
She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.
Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.

Americans have zero excuse. You could argue that Germany was ruined by WW1 and the war reparations back in the 30s. But the US economy is doing much better than all other developed economies these days. Americans voted fascists in just because.
The Republicans have been grooming the country for this for decades now.
Because capitalism has ensured that the "good economy" isn't reaching the average working class person like it should.
WW II was probably the best thing to happen to America, economically and in a lot of other fields, science and tech for example.
The world wouldn't have half of the technology we have today if it wasn't for America figuring all this shit out during and after that war.
And America got to keep everything, unlike some other countries. There really is no excuse.
Boomers are called that for a reason. Families not only boomed, but most parts of life as well.

Our top line numbers may look good but there's real problems under the hood. Our homelessness is the highest it's been since we started tracking it and food has increased in price much farther than most people's wages. It's not about the gross amount of money. It's about what that money can buy. And the answer is increasingly, not much.
