Propaganda was not the only weapon the Nazis used against the Jews. They also relied on terror. On March 9, 1933, just a few days after the elections, Nazi SA storm troopers in Berlin imprisoned dozens of Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe.

I am not saying this is or will be as horrific as the holocaust. It is not and probably will not be. That's quite a high bar to clear. It does however show paralels in tactics and moral values between the facists of the 20th century and the MAGA-cult.

Also interesting in light of discussions about revoking the citizenship of immigrants children: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesetz_%C3%BCber_den_Widerruf_von_Einb%C3%BCrgerungen_und_die_Aberkennung_der_deutschen_Staatsangeh%C3%B6rigkeit#p-lang (I could only find sources in German, but the firefox translator should be able to handle that)
