Should we be scared? is history really repeating itself, a new megalomaniac who will lead the world back into global conflict from which this time we might not escape unscathed.
Protesters paint Trump as a new Hitler and can point to actions he has taken that seemed to in lockstep with what Hitler did in his rise to power century ago.
This has to raise questions as to whether or not the outcome will be the same.
the Nazis scapegoated jew in their attempt to make Germany great again, following along an established pattern of oppression, demonizing, separating then exterminating them.
regardless of how current the crop of illegal immigrants are here ridding our country of them is too strongly resembling the stormtrooper ethics of the past.
But this is hardly the only similarity
the attacks on Venezuela and the hijacking of its oil is very close to what Hitler ordered his troops to do to feed his war machine and while Congress has acted to resist Trump from ordering an invasion, there are still parts of the world the president has taken aimed at, and has not ruled out the use of force, such as to acquire Greenland.
This last is startling me because the West let Hitler do similar steps in Europe before finally putting its foot down when it came to Poland. this could put us on the path to war with our own allies and makes me wonder if we will see a repeat of the Hitler Stalin pact, as Trump sides with Putin to divide up the world.
Of course this seems far fetched yet nobody expected Germany to do what it did until it did it and already liberal leaders are telling troops to disobey Trump, suggesting they fear the worst and a rise of a maga movement, not too dissimilar to the Nazis
All this may be moot. Democrats may take back Congress this year and block these moves but again the courts in Germany also supported the Nazis and the military and what he said will they do the same with Trump
