    Robert Evans had an episode of Behind the Bastards about the little Nazis. The middle class shopkeepers and middle managers that weren’t top level but were in the party.

    Most of them never admitted it was a mistake to support Hitler.

      To know all of that and to think, “that’s fine.”

      It’s a kind of mundane evil I can’t comprehend.

      The idea that this country will burn to ash and so many people will tell themselves at least a black woman wasn’t President. At least those filthy immigrants were sent to Salvadoran death camps. Too bad about my children, my business, my home, but we did the right thing. How can you look at all that and not at least think, maybe it wasn’t worth it? Maybe we’d all have been better off another way?

      Fuck.
