The vetting elites here are made of sterner stuff than decadent German or Italian bourgeoisie in the aftermath of defeat and depression. What makes you think Lina's clip refers only to those two upstarts who make the freaks gathered for Republican primaries appear statesmanlike? Benedetto Croce wanted the 21 years of Mussolini to be wished away as an "ellipsis" and Germans have made a fine art of bracketing away the 12 year long Reich as an aberration. But, such excision is not as neat and tidy as many would like:

...[T]he exacerbated nationalism and biological racism of the Nazis were closely linked to the culture and practice of imperialism that had characterized the whole of Europe since the beginning of the 19th century. Germany had not played a leading role in this development. On the contrary, it was a latecomer, a keen pupil following the two great colonial powers, France and Britain. The natural supremacy of the white race and its corollary, Europe’s civilizing mission in Africa and Asia; the view of the world beyond Europe as a vast area to be colonised; the idea of colonial wars as conflicts in which the enemy was the civilian population of the countries to be conquered, rather than an army; the theory that the extinction of the inferior races was an inevitable consequence of progress: these central tenets of Nazi ideology were commonplaces of 19th-century European culture.
