        Exactly. I’m glad you can agree on this point with a very obviously not sarcastic comment, as Mussolini wasn’t in fact, a Nazi, but just allied with the Nazis, had a very similar idiology that the Nazis took ideas from, and was also a fascist dictator.

        I mean, America probably would have ended up allying with the Nazis if it wasn’t for the attack on Pearl Harbor. There was a lot of public sympathy for them here, including protests against joining the allies, and we even had a Nazi party before the war. We also turned away Jewish refugees during the war.
