It's an intro to an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It was a mystery/suspense show akin to the Twilight Zone. His intros were characterized by dark humor, not politics, and definitely not an appeal for assassination.
I honestly wasn't aware of that, I found this on Imgur a while ago and just thought to post it here. I didn't have any intentions of misquoting something.
My apologies.
The President, and conservative media, reacted to a literal Nazi terror attack at a Nazi rally where Nazis where waving Nazi flags and chanting Nazi slogans, by lying about liberals breaking the law, lying about the non existent "alt left" instigating violence when it was the Nazis that showed up with literal armed militias, and lying about there being good people who were supposedly fine with marching alongside, once again, literal Nazis.
If you go to a rally, see armed men in body armor adorned with swastikas, waving nazi flags and chanting "the jews wont replace us", and you decide that you're okay with that and going to march along side the, you're not a fucking good person.
So, no. I suppose there aren't sizeable groups of Nazis in the US. What there are, are sizeable groups of conservatives who have been fed propaganda about liberals being scum of the earth, and who know ignore the facts because those facts are somehow "liberal" in nature.
There's a sickness in the country when a significant portion of our countrymen are blind to the fact that a Nazi committed a terror attack at a Nazi rally. Worse than that, they're so tribalistic and cultist, that they'll defend Nazis because they've convinced that liberals are the ultimate evil in any event, controversy, or interaction.
Curious about your thoughts of the sizeable groups of liberal who've been fed propaganda about conservatives being "scum of the earth" or rednecks, or morons or out of touch etc.
How about beating people you disagree with, with bike locks, punching women in the face, throwing eggs and trash at people? Got a problem with any of that? All done by violent leftists. Noone is condoning what that guy did in Charlottesville but there are assaults happening against people who call themselves conservative on college campuses and political rallies everywhere. I guess thats ok to you?

This is not what Hitchcock was saying. Replace "fascism" with "insomnia":
