Mychal Massie stated that "all of the greatest momentary “triumphs” of horrific injustice were said and/or thought to be impossible to take place–and that includes Hitler’s murdering Jews as well as the market crash of 1929. When the warnings of danger first went forth in both of historical nightmares, there existed many who argued those sounding the alarm were clueless alarmists who didn’t know what they were talking about."
So call it normalcy bias, denial, group think, political/philosophical obstinacy...or just plain ineptitude from years of media & institutional brainwashing--people didn't listen then and they're not listening now. And sadly it will be with comparable consequences. I've never wished more strongly to be wrong...
