She even posted that selfown herself...

EDIT: I'm pretty baffled by the downvotes though. I though there aren't many republicans here?

Pragmatism appointed Hitler.

Holy false equivalence, Batman.

Conceding to populism appointed Hitler. Pragmatism would have been to outlaw the NSDAP, and chuck Hitler in jail again.

Incorrect, that would have caused revolution and continued the violence. It also would have encouraged communists to more broadly recruit and educate people, and liberals really fucking hate the left wing.

Appointing Hitler was meant as the pragmatic choice, it was meant to bridge the gap between liberals who narrowly won the election and Nazis so that they could develop a bipartisan path forward without violence.

That is literally the reasoning given to appoint Hitler, and is why anyone with historical knowledge treats "pragmatic" liberals as being as dangerous as fascists.

Because you right wing people are as dangerous as fascists.
