You are omitting one word: "Yet".

The average German didn't see all those things either, in the 1920s.

If you're going to compare the US with Nazi Germany, you should use the appropriate time-frames.

It's a poor comparison, though, at least in any detail. Too many things are different today from what they were 100 years ago. That doesn't mean we can't learn from the past, though, and guard against the same kinds of developments (which are definitely on display. See my earlier post quoting the v-Dem report).

"Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of past..."
