That "mind-set" has been in the Waffle House since it's construction... and the only way that it can not be obvious to you is if you are delusional enough to believe that the US was really "defending" itself in all those third-world countries it has brought so much misery and suffering to.
You're getting downvoted, but this is true. 13 colonies were able to fight the British better than each one doing their own things. Reich means realm, or more specifically empire. Germany unified as a single country in the mid-late 1800s. Hitler then came along and decided Germany needed more space, lebensraum, and prestige to do all the things they wanted to do. They killed millions for it. Manifest Destiny, from sea to shining sea, all that is what this is. The US has done it too. We murdered and moved native Americans for decades for white immigrants to have "living space".
However, I don't think any of the dumbasses who made this stupid video know any of that. It was a joke to them. Right now, I'm not scared of Nazis in the White House. I am scared of people who think Nazis are a funny joke being in the White House, because that leads to Nazis in the White House.
The thing about Nazis in the Waffle House is that US foreign policy would barely change - it would literally just look like foreign policy under Kissinger.
As for domestic policy... there are problems with this (perceived) "fascism" that everyone imagines Trump is going to bring to the Waffle House (ie, fascism that isn't already there). The "other" (ie, Jewish people) that Hitler used as traction to set Germany on it's genocidal colonialist path was a very small and very disempowered segment of Germany's society - this is not the case in the US. The US military (for instance) literally cannot function without the mass-participation of the very marginalized people the fascists are openly trying to repress. They are essentially clamoring for what will soon be a minority regime - like those of Apartheid-South Africa and Israel... except there won't be a fascist-loving US "big brother" to prop them up and stuff them full of handout money because it is the US itself we are talking about.
I'm aware that this won't stop them from trying - and the violence they will be using to do so is only going to escalate. Where this will end I have no idea - there is no historical precedent for it. The one thing I do know is that the Dems will not be stopping it.
