Fine, I'll forgive these Trump voters by not nuking or slaughtering them. So they can do what the Japanese and the Germans did, and address the elements in their society that they engaged in, and I'll keep from nuking them as I watch what they do closely, just like the U.S. did with their "forgiveness". We demanded that they put into action proof that they were not dangerous and they were not allowing those elements to survive in their country.
Yeah the people who actually require forgiveness rarely admit they need it, like we did when we annihilated 2 cities filled with civillians who were non combatants, and the Nazis who annihilated millions of people don't think they need forgiveness.
How did anyone rebuild the countless lives incinerated? The DNA of a population that was affected by radiation? Did we ask forgiveness?
That's nice that the went there to "hate" everyone who had every right to hate him, I think you do not see the views of the people who were the victims of unforgiveable acts.
American citizens knowingly supporting the nazi and fascist takeover of this country are not nations. You object to holding them accountable in the same we we did Japan and Germany. They didn't just get "forgiven" and everything was forgotten, they did things to earn that.
You seem to object to even treating them as we did the Germans and Japanese. Your analogy fails due to a simplistic and superficial view of post war countries.
Post Trump Nazis of the Right and the GOP have a great deal to do to provide reparations for their heinous actions.
Look up the Paris Treaty to understand why your analogy fails and why these Nazis and their enablers should do what their German brothers did in Germany by hunting down and ejecting the very worst of their Nazis and making them personal non grata, they didn't just hug it out with them and say all is forgiven and forgotten because we need to build bridges with ignorance, hate and violence, they required that those people who were guilty drive that out of their society.
Why won't you require that of the Nazi enabling hatemongers in your own circle? It's what the Allies did after all, and that's your argument, why change the rules?
