...but directed at the majority of Americans.

Hitler didn't invent falsely labeling Jews as an inferior race, though, with existing nationalist and xenophobic movements as early as the 19th century increasing in support after Germany's defeat in World War I, scapegoating the Jewish community for the country's economic hardships.

Pretty much the same lever Trump and many republicans used to achieve office, scapegoating immigrants in this country and, this term, achieving a record amount of funding for their masked police force which is now turning their violence against American citizens.
