In the 8 minute video, Schwarzenegger compares Wednesday's domestic terrorist attack to Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, a violent pogrom that saw the murder of Jews and rampant destruction in Germany in 1938 carried out by SA paramilitary brownshirts, which Schwarzenegger aptly compares to the proud boys.
The action star describes his childhood in Austria and his abusive father, who was one of countless "broken men drinking away the guilt over their participation in the most evil regime in history". Schwarzenegger goes on to describe his parents' generation, which was made up not just of nazis, but of "people next door" who were just going along with the nazi regime, duped by a toxic blend of lies, propaganda, and intolerance.
Shwarzenegger then lays into Trump for fomenting lies and unrest, calling him "the worst president ever" and noting that "he will soon be as irrelevant as an old tweet". He also calls out Trump's enablers, calling them "spineless" and "complicit", reminding them of the Teddy Roosevelt quote, "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president".
