Yes, but he's said that IF he was Italian, he would have followed him. However, he wasn't Italian so he never did follow him.
My dad grew up in war time Holland about 20 miles from the German border. That made him one of the good guys. He's told me of how he and his brother, hid in a ditch, in fear and awe, at the back of the family farm and watched German troops file past for a couple of hours. They hid because they were afraid. My dad is certain that had he been born 20 miles to the east of the German border, in Germany, he would have patted the backs of the German soldiers on their way to invade Holland, goose stepping alongside of them and dreaming of the day that he, too could be marching with them.
That artificial line on the map made a huge difference on how he saw the world at the time. That's what Churchill was talking about. Most people don't realise that they would likely have been Nazis had they been born in Germany and were alive during the Nazi era. We like to think that we're that intrinsically good that we'd have resisted the lure of Hitler but if we believe that, we're fooling ourselves.

Nothing wrong with being rich. It's when you believe that you're socially and intellectually superior when you give yourself permission to treat the others like inferiors. That those inferiors lack the capacity to lead productive and "safe" lives. That's when they become dangerous.
Leftist elites showed that disdain in the 2016 elections with the way they looked down their noses at those living in "flyover" USA. The deplorables, hillbillies that can barely read or write....racists, homophobes, sexist troglodytes who must be led and not left to their own devices. "White people have to learn "this". White people have to do "that". Dirty little Walmart shoppers.
That's NOT a Republican attitude. Bill Maher summed it up when he said that Middle Americans are jealous of people like him and want to be like those like him.....the elitist left wing. No conservative is included in those ranks. They're ridiculed and laughed at and when they do become rich, they're called greedy and ruthless, unlike the rich left, the woke elitists of the big cities and Hollywood. Forever preaching at the rest of America, telling them how to speak, think, act and denigrating everything that the "deplorables" value. Things like individual freedom, hard work, respect, and the value of family.
I was once a left wing liberal, but I've found that something has changed. I can't treat others the way that they do. I don't think ordinary people are deplorables and I refuse to treat them that way.

You've not been following the news, have you. People, who come up to you, get into your face, telling you to quit doing something, when all you're doing is your job, you'd have every reason to be afraid of what he's going to do next. Crime is a huge problem in the US and delivery drivers are quite often targeted by thieves. How are you to know if these guys weren't going to mug you and punch you in the face or worse?
If you're going to act the idiot, intimidating ordinary people, be prepared for the consequences. Someone will panic, maybe because of past experience, and defends himself. The poor guy was just doing his job.

@supervastgut1568
He really was. He was arrested under suspicion of being in the Dutch underground. They sent him to Westerbork because it was only a few miles from where he lived and it was convenient. They started to round up prisoners to load the train and he was among them. A guard recognised him and took him out of the line. He was sent to the POW camp, in Texel, a week later and spent the rest of the war, imprisoned there. There's a big story around that camp, too. My brother went with him, years later, for his first trip back to Texel. While there, he met another ex-POW, who just happened to be revisiting for his first time. The guy recognised my uncle and apparently they had quite a long talk about their time there.
My family has a lot of war stories and everyone, concerning the Nazis, were bad ones. The Nazis were hated with a passion and still are in Holland.

@GeorgeMonet
He wants, as I do, for the local governments, to do their job. Call in the National guard, arrest the rioters and prosecute them. THAT'S the way to end this violence. When you're doing 5 to 10, you're not out rioting, are you?
He's railed against the local DAs releasing the rioters non-stop. That's our problem, right now. Democrat District Attorneys, Mayors, Governors and MSM, who have been sympathetic to the rioting, is what has to change. It's one of the reasons that Tim is voting Republican for the first time in his life.

In some ways, we all are. However, I was a strange little kid. By the time I was 10, I'd read every one of the Encyclopedia Americana, at the back of my class, cover to cover, multiple times. I went to a Christian primary school, so I had learned early that there were conflicting ideas in the world so I had to reconcile between what I was being taught and what I was learning on my own. Incredibly, those Christian teachers encouraged my reading and even allowed me to leave the schoolyard twice a week to go to our local library to check out books. Most people didn't have that voracious appetite to learn things like I did and I think that it has a lot to do with wanting to know all the information available before arriving at any decisions on a topic. I found it frustrating, back then, that my friends and siblings, didn't care to do the same and would support ideas without any real knowledge of the topic that they were talking about.
Still, I do find that I can get stuck in a rut about some things, so I guess it's understandable that others would as well. No one likes to hear that they may be wrong and some will never admit it, no matter what the evidence.
Once you realise how information should be processed, as it appears that you have, it's difficult to turn back. Human weakness does get in the way, I know. That's the one thing the left will not realise. It's not the weakness in others that should be your prime concern....It's the weaknesses that lie within you.
