    You know, 80 years ago, we used to kill Nazis. Well, until we let the smart ones who built rockets and bombs come live here.

      I feel like even the smart ones who built rockets and bombs saw us killing nazis and were like “yeah that’s probably for the best”

      A lot of Nazis, the high ranking ones, fucked off to Venezuela and other places when they saw the end in sight and knew their necks were on the line (literally in some cases) if caught. I can imagine some used their stolen wealth to continue that brand of hate for the last 80+ years. “The smart ones” were intentionally sabotaging the Nazi war effort and defecting to the Allies with information on the Nazis’ attempts at nuclear weapons. A lot of those scientists were never allowed to leave or live past the end of the war in Nazi Germany.

      They were inspired by our fascists. Bringing them here change things so little that even the number of fascists overall in the United States and barely had a bump in their growth.
