Okay I can’t help but feel like this at least a little fear mongering. Or is that just me

I don’t think it’s fearmongering.

At the end of the day, Kristallnacht happened without any direct order from Hitler, and once fascists start pulling the trigger, they won't stop until they are no longer in a physical condition to be able to keep pulling the trigger, and considering that Democratic politicians are not willing to put in even the barest minimum of effort to protect us from MAGAts, we unfortunately have no one but ourselves to rely on for our self-defense

Thank you—I'm sure there were plenty of German liberals and leftists saying, "C'mon, Hitler's bad, but there's not gonna be any mass killing or anything so ridiculous."

Only after the the liberals sided with the proto-fascist Freikorps to defeat the Socialists in the German Revolution of 1919. Those SPD leaders who stayed in the Weimar government through to ‘33 are reviled figures who betrayed the workers’ movement
