The big difference there is that Hitler took power in the chaos of looming economic collapse. We just handed power to a megalomaniac rapist because *checks notes* pronouns or some shit. And brown people. No we can't say that, just say eggs. They will know what we mean.

His being given it was one of the biggest SHAMES of both Germany&humanity! Main supporters of him were naive, illiterate people having some racist tendencies because of their being 'UNeducated' in schools with their families to learn to COEXIST IN PEACE WITH GLOBAL BROTHERHOOD AND SISTERHOOD!!

Yeah, and Stalin nearby. Hitler has needed Poland to produce weapons outside the reach of allied bombers. Stalin has helped to build the Nazi combat units. Not to mention the copying of Stalin's propaganda machine.

I highly recommend How to Win an Information War by Peter Pomerantsev. It goes into great detail about the cult around Hitler and the general circumstances facing the German people after WWI. Many lessons for us TODAY ‼️

Drumpf has to be IMPEACHED! The GOP has to snap out of their hypnotic fog and grow courage to stop this maniacal madman. There are plenty of Dems that would join with the GOP to put an end to this insanity. Get together, create an interim bipartisan coalition for the balance of the term.

As others have said, it’s amazing they so many boomer and gen X men who consumed everything they could about WW2 and the Silent Generation failed to see the paint by numbers similarities of 1930s Germany and did the same exact same thing the as the guys who their heroes were fighting.

It’s one of the most bewildering experiences, to grow up in a culture so immersed in WW2 nostalgia and with parents and grandparents so obsessed with the history that led to it fail the absolutely basic tests of decency and democracy Trump presents.

Your right! NOW everyone has to talk about the next step. WHO's GOING TO STOP HIM?Project 2025 is very clear in their 922 page Bible.Yes, let's remember the Germany man who took over the laws, courts, media, and sent the world to hell. Read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" it tells it all!

I try not to imagine the kinds of jokes about Americans that the German people are keeping to themselves because the idiots who jumped on the Godwin's Law blame game bandwagon won't get them. Basically.

Hitler’s rise to power shows how a country with a functional, if flawed, democratic machinery handed absolute power over to someone whom the conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following.
