12. Not just him

Getting rid of Hitler in 1933 would have left Himmler, Göbbels, Göring and the rest of them to pick up the pieces and carry on.

Similarly, tossing Trump out on his ear will only leave Pence and Ryan, who are the ones the Republicans would be most happy with in the first place. There is no way Pence or Ryan have the populist appeal and novelty Trump and Hitler did. Göbbels or Himmler wouldn't even have gotten enough votes to get the NSDAP in a position to take over the government. As with Nixon and Reagan, the Republicans love their figureheads to rally around.

Without getting rid of the whole illegitimate cabal, we would only be putting a band-aid over a deep, infected, festering wound.
