Neither do you. We can try to map out a trajectory, keeping in mind what we know, but that's no guarantee of accurate prognosticating. Suggesting that I'm insulting people who are currently suffering under American imperialism is wrong. I simply pointed out that comparing the state sponsored persecution and death visited upon the Jews, Gays, disabled and others in Nazi Germany in 1940 with the treatment of Hispanics and Muslims in this country today is a historical malapropism. That doesn't diminish the suffering of people in this country who are getting the short end of the stick. It points to the different dynamics at work. As I said, 1936 Germany is a far better comparison vis a vis the zeitgueist and actual events.
