Appreciate the history lesson but that has nothing to do with the original post!...

Nor is it accurate. The Nazis were Socialists -- as were the Soviets, and the Soviets killed even more innocent people than the Nazis.

Trolling or wishful thinking? I can't tell to be honest.

The one-time lecturer on history knows that when one boils Nazism down to it's essence, the stuff they were willing to fight for, it wasn't economics or class. It was a reordering of world affairs by race, specifically Germanic races on top, Jewish race on the bottom. Hitler himself never spent much time on economics, and in the war their economy was organized around private companies large and small and government contracts, not that different from the wartime United States....except for the slavery part of course, and confiscation of private property in conquered lands. And whereas labor unions were effectively outlawed in the Third Reich, in the USA they were organizing (and yes there were strikes in wartime).

The question "who are the Nazis these days?" is the wrong one to ask, because the answer is: The Nazis are. They're still out there. The right question to ask is: "who are the Nazis hanging with these days?" And the answer isn't: Biden and AOC.

Well to be accurate liberalism as an idea has even now barely penetrated certain pockets of the US, and Dixie in the 1940s fits that description. But Dixie isn't the whole country, and if one looks at the face the US showed to the world during WW2 and afterwards, the founding of the UN, and postwar world order, yes very much a creation of Liberalism.
