America in 2017 vs. Germany in 1933? Hell ya. That Germany was state run. What little news the population was fed was 100% propaganda, most of it being anti-Semite and pro Aryan purification and dominance.

In 1933 Jews made up less than 1% of the German population. Pretty easy to brainwash 99.25% of the population that those 0.75% of Jews are a stain on your country's heritage and destiny. Especially with the threat of the Gestapo lurking around every corner ready to erase any public signs of dissent.

2017 America is light years removed from that. We have 10X times more free news than we'd ever need in a 24 hour day between TV and the internet.
And demographically speaking we're beyond the point of being so diverse that no single ethnic or ideological group can take over the vast majority of the narrative.

The tea party and then, the wonder bread white Trump movement have tried and have failed miserably - and have actually emboldened the dissenters in the process.

84 years of hindsight, and technology will have that effect on any first world nation.
