8. The problem wasn't that Hitler was arrested, it was that he was released.

It's not as though Hitler only "wrote" the book(actually, he plagiarized most of it from anti-Semitic tracts whose publication was subsidized by Henry Ford) because he was doing time.

Also, I'm not comparing Trump to Hitler in this scenario-Trump is too selfish and cynical to established a Reich. The closer analog would be Richard Spencer. And Spencer's young-he'll be around for decades.

The most important thing is to take this seriously. Most folks in Munich thought Hitler and his posse were a joke in '23.
