1. They did an earlier article on him in 1922 that was dismissive of his anti-Semitism.

Hitler’s anti-Semitism was “not so genuine or violent as it sounded.” - which was bullshit.

Then another article in 1923 that reads like a MAGA interview. The NYTimes also refers to Hitler as the leader of the "so-called" Bavarian fascist party. More bullshit.

Then the "tame" comment bullshit in 1924.

3. Very and it exposes either bias or stupidity - or both - on the part of the authors.

8. OMG, George Conway. "Susann Kolenz of Mainz".

"'Herr Hitler has learned a pretty big lesson,' said Reichstag deputy Susann Kolenz, of Mainz."

7. They simply wanted to bury their heads and not

contemplate the horrendous threat from such an evil personality. Almost everyone ridiculed and laughed at Churchill with his warnings about Hitler, until the bombs started dropping.

The thought that the same could happen today is chilling to the bone.

11. People here were ridiculing the idea trump would try to steal the 2020 election.

The Atlantic wrote about it.

The Loyola Law Journal laid out the framework in 2019. The usuals here were accusing people of being alarmist and sour grapes over the primary (whatever that meant).
