How Hitler used hate to gain power and that its not worth it to fall for hate. Worth a watch, you can even do a movie night on it maybe, its scary.

It's a great video, but it unfortunately has been shown to be ineffective at improving the self-awareness of fascists (https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/8/14/16143782/dont-be-a-sucker-propaganda-charlottesville-nazi-racism). I even tested it with my MAGA parent, and they identified strongly with the minority groups portrayed in the film.

Not enough to convince them though, right?
