(53,217 posts)though I think Hitler was more strategic and probably more intelligent than Trump who is just mimicking him. Also, I believe Hitler was a more proficient public speaker, whereas Trump just rambles often incoherently. He can say pretty much anything and his followers cheer him on. In the beginning, even he appeared to be surprised at what he could get away with. I don't think he ever anticipated his success.
I agree, it is terrifying that to a "significant portion of our electorate, hes hasnt gone far enough." We have every reason to be very fearful. There is something that's just not right about our species that we keep doing the same things over and over again, after being repeatedly warned. Even if people don't read history books, our movies and television programs have told us countless stories about World War II and the Nazis, not to mention science fiction movies about futuristic dystopian societies that aren't terribly farfetched. Apparently some people are incapable or unwilling to connect the dots.
