We are one election away.
It took Hitler less than 6 months to tighten his grip on power. As I watched this programme I was struck by the similarities between Germany and the US. Hitler and Trump.
Hitler waged war on German institutions. Its government, its press and of course its court system. When he had finished there was nothing left.He burned fown the Reichstag. Trump lanched an invasion of Congress.
Hitler told Germans that he was the only answer to the problems of the state. Trump is doing that right now.
Hitlers followers had a violent core of street thugs who beat and murdered anybody that Hitler didnt like, They were paramilitary and wore their own uniforms. A bit like the proud boys and oath keepers. Violent thugs.
The threats of violence to prosecutors, judges and juries is something that they both share.
Hitler took his revenge on those who opposed him. Check out the story of Hans Litten. He was murdered in a camp for the crime of humiliating Hitler in court.
Of course Trump is threatening revenge on everyone who gets in his way.
Hitler and his group despised democracy. So do Trump and his chums. They just want power and too many "wrong" people vote. Election denying is pure fascism when it does not present any evidence. Its not just that trump is a narcissist. He is a deeply evil man.Like Hitler.
Hitler hated minorities. So does trump and trumpism. The nazis told women to get back in the home. So do trumpists. The nazis murdered gay folk. Trump vilifies them and works to remove them from society.
The nazis burned books, so does trumpism. Intellectuals were murdered by nazis. Check out trumpism and climate change.
This is not controversial. The biggest eye opener was the way that German society backed down at every opportunity. They thought that they were being clever. But Hitler just took the concession and moved on to the next level.
Those GOP politicians who have facilitated the rise of trump, looked the other way and swallowed their pride will have blood on their hands.
Trumpism isnt new. There is a long history of fascism in the US. If trump is elected then a noisy minority may see all their dreams come true.
Scary times. Incredible really.
trump would quickly put his fellow criminal types in positions in the justice system to block legal actions preventing his take over of government.
A second Xiden Police State Term would get us there

Trump hints at expanded role for the military within the US. A legacy law gives him few guardrails
Trump has not spelled out precisely how he might use the military during a second term, although he and his advisers suggest they would have wide latitude to call up units.
It appears that this is what his followers have been wanting all along. The question now is how much of the electorate is either (a) taking him seriously or (b) paying attention at all.
They're doing us the courtesy of telling us what they plan to do. I think we should take them at their word. Like 1930's Europe.

No doubt the subliminality is always already in place. Do you have handy a citation for the Eisenhower-Iran assemblage? We need more details in order to mesh with this:
Thanks, though this wikipage does not mention Eisenhower, who was from a German immigrant family. We thus establish the familial DNA, much as Ruth Matar did when establishing the 87.5% Arab DNA of Barack Obama, for our study of fascism.Iran - Wikipedia

And that was in November. Has he toned down his Hitler rhetoric since then?
Well, he just used Putin and Orban as character witnesses again.And that was in November. Has he toned down his Hitler rhetoric since then?
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) tried everything to explain away Trump's claim that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America during an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta on Sunday.
Burchett initially acknowledged the criticism that Trump’s comments were reminiscent of something Adolf Hitler said in his book “Mein Kampf,” where the Nazi leader wrote: “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning.”
Donald Trump is being called out for adopting language that Adolf Hitler used. But according to Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, it’s no biggie ― the former president just wants to “keep America, America.”

"They’re not going to stop with immigrants," said Ruth Ben-Ghiat, who explained the calculated reason behind Trump's "poisoning the blood" rhetoric.

“Anyone who thinks this isn’t going to bother them because they’re not an immigrant, they’re not going to stop with immigrants,” she said. “I’m quite concerned that he is mentioning what he calls mental institutions and prisons so often. In another speech, he actually talked about the need to expand psychiatric institutions to confine people, and he mentioned special prosecutor Jack Smith as someone who should end up in a ‘mental institution.’”
“This is what fascists and especially communists used to do to critics,” Ben-Ghiat added. “They used to put people who didn’t believe in the propaganda of the state or who were troublemakers into psychiatric institutions. So the swathe of people who are going to be targeted certainly doesn’t stop with immigrants.”
When populists convince the idiots that everyone is out to get them, the idiots get angry and scared. And it's a perfect recipe for fascism. Read some history.
I went about five years before I was willing to bring up the similarities and parallels. But there are just too many to ignore.
I refuse to believe the polls. No way America 2024 will vote like Germany did in the 1930's. But that's exactly what Trump is attempting to pull off. If it worked for Hitler why not Trump? Does Trump have any other option? He can no longer pretend to be a moderate like he did when he first ran for president.
