The thing Trump did in Dayton – celebrating his fascist movement’s dubious “martyrs”–is exactly what Goebbels & Hitler did bw Nazis’ failed coup & their seizure of power. Their song was called the Horst Wessel Song.

Nazis were obsessive abt being the victims. Once in power they put up monuments to their “martyrs.” They sang their Horst Wessel Song as they conquered countries & killed millions to say that they, Nazis, were real victims and therefore always innocent.
