Just read the quotes with the blue background if you don't want to read the whole thing. The quotes are taken from a book titled "They Thought They Were Free", written in 1955 by a Jewish-American journalist named Milton Mayer. The quotes are first Mayer's own and finally from a German university professor and former member of the Nazi Party whom Mayer interviewed for the book.

There is no question that we have taken the first tentative steps along this road, beginning largely under the Bush/Cheney Administration and still ongoing under the Obama Administration. I have no doubt that a Trump presidency would kick the process into high gear.
