I keep seeing people make comparisons to pre-WWII appeasement.

I wasn't aware that American Neo-nazis were seizing territory and invading other nations with a government backed military.

The point is, that didn't happen overnight. It gradually happened over a number of years (decades even) and snowballed. As mentioned above, Hitler only had a handful of supporters early on, but through careful manoeuvring, that grew massively.

Again though, I condemn violence (unless out of genuine self-defence). Still, don't underestimate how things could progress. Thankfully, the chances are that they won't go that far (especially given the knowledge of what has gone before), but you have to be vigilant.
