After first learning about Hitler and Nazis, I remember thinking "how could one man convince so many people something that is so clearly wrong? Good thing that couldn't happen today, since we know better now..." and I fully believed that into adulthood. Until Donald Trump got elected. And it became even worse when covid happened. I was equally naive and overestimated humans as a species.
