The Good Germans
Summary
<p>The phrase "good Germans" refers to the Germans living in the Third Reich who enabled Hitler and his Nazi regime yet remained in denial that they were doing so. Or they did know, but they put on a show of respectability. They were "just following orders," they'll say, or they'll claim they didn't have a choice. The good Germans were liars: you always have a choice. And the "good Germans" of Trump's America are no different.</p>
