By the time Hitler was elected, there weren't that many Jews in Germany. Centuries of pogroms had reduced the population to a tiny fraction. Jewish communities of the neighboring countries, especially Poland, made up the vast majority of jumewish holocaust victims.

Also Hitler was appointed chancellor by a conservative prime minister, who's party got more votes than the nazis, but needed a coalition partner and didn't want the liberals, and definitely not the communists.

If Hitler had been elected on a landslide of the German Jewish vote, I would still feel bad for them, but I would think about it differently.

In an ideal world, no one would be enduring the hardships he’s facing, especially not without the support of his community and his nation. I would happily support policies that would ensure people like him didn’t have to deal with everything that he’s had to, and would provide him a safety net when he’s going through it.

This man on the other hand is a “three-time Donald Trump voter”. This is what he voted for. Everyone who wasn’t getting all their news from conservative media knew that this exact kind of situation was going to happen when he got elected. He supported policies that hurt other people, whether or not he thought those policies would include himself.

Don’t feel too bad for him though, he managed to get in just before the cut off though. He feels bad that he can’t work any more, but hasn’t expressed any concern for people like him (or better yet, aren’t like him but need the same assistance). There are so many other more deserving of my sympathy, especially when he got his before the door closed on the person behind him, and especially people that didn’t vote for this.

As far as Jews in Nazi Germany… if they supported the Nazi rise to power, they’re not going to get a bunch of sympathy from me either. If you helped bring about suffering, I’m not going to burn myself out feeling bad for those that found out the hard way they were one of the undesirables.
