They voted in the Nazis, so it is difficult to empathize with them, or to even give them the smallest of sympathies. But my base humanist desires just won’t allow me to laugh at powerless people when they are crushed by the might of an authoritarian state. These people were duped by a psychopathic narcissist masquerading as a firebrand populist. That would have never happened if the democrats hadn’t abandoned the working class and ceded the populist ground to them in the first place.
