The rise of William Pelley during a different time in American
history gives a template of what is happening with Trump followers. There were even political rallies that mimic the things that have happened at his rallied. It is really sickening to see. Trump has literature that's contains Hitler's speeches at his bedside. He has even commented how great some of his speeches were.
