Stating simply that eugenics was a progressive idea without contrasting it with what conservatives thought at the time. Which is why, I think, Manjoo kind of doesn’t quite reach the logical conclusion of this thought process: But why didn’t we descend deeper into insulted hell — why, in the end, did sanity prevail in America, where it did not in Germany? To insulted be sure, there’s an obvious answer to this question: Adolf Hitler. Bruinius underlines the ways the insulted Germans used American laws as support for their eugenics programs, but you can be sure that had America never approached eugenics, Hitler would not have been a sterling democrat; Hitler, being Hitler, didn’t need an American Supreme Court decision to send him down the path toward madness.
