I think very similar. You always need someone to point to and blame for your own failings. Worked in WW2 and its working now. I should go back and look to see how many bought into it. I know many did not side with the “blame the Jews” back then. Some helped hide Jewish people, some were so afraid they just said nothing but not everyone was on board with it. I have to wonder today when apparently half our population thinks its ok to target, blame and take from another group “the rich” if we are not more brain washed than the Germans were back then.
