The difference between the Germans and what America went through recently is that the Germans were hit with the first electronic media blitz in history and were rather blind-sided.
Germans started tearing their hair out when they saw the road America was going down for eight years, asking “Are you people crazy? Are you STUPID? Don’t you know OUR history!?”*
Told that the only German history Americans know is Schindler’s List and Hogan’s Heroes, they realized that anything they’d gone through meant absolutely nothing, because, unlike Germans, Americans can’t learn, not even by getting hurt.
