Similar to post WWII Germany & Austria had the Denazification initiative to ride society, culture, press, economy, judiciary, and politics of the Nazi ideology. We will need to remove MAGAism from the roots to finally free ourselves.

People did not change their mind even after the occupation. Their children and grandchildren did, but the original supporters of Hitler died thinking his greatest mistake was starting a war. Because it brought them personally a lot of hardship, not because of an ocean of suffering and a mountain of corpses.

[the germans who supported NSDAP] did not know before 1933 that Nazism was evil. They did not know between 1933 and 1945 that it was evil. And they do not know it now. None of them ever knew, or now knows, Nazism as we knew and know it; and they lived under it, served it, and, indeed, made it

They thought they were free, Milton Mayer
