I’ve recently read some good books on Hitler. I’ve found some similarities in the two. Having said that, Trump has similarities to a variety of authoritarian leaders. You’ll see these in many past and contemporary dictators. Stalin, Hitler, Pinochet, Putin, Trump, etc. But the similarities with Hitler ice found
1. Malignant narcissism (it’s all about him. Usually unresolved issues from childhood)
2. Psychopathy (no conscience no biliary to empathize with others)
3. Inferiority Complex
4. Corruption
5. The ability to connect with large swaths of people through demagoguery
Having said that, the differences between the main differences between the t:
1. Hitler was a politically savvy and a master actor. He could appear as a rabid fascist or moderate depending on the audience. He could play other politicians to achieve his goals. Whether it was winning over President Hindenburg, playing Mussolini, or making Chamberlain look like a complete fool. Trump has one gear. The only people he’s been able to play are people who I honestly wonder how they put on their pants daily. No world leader has ever been played by Trump.
2. Our institutions held (barely). As @Gameface said, the comparisons don’t have to end just because they didn’t have similar fates. We haven’t had a repeat of the Holocaust in large part because of the lessons we learned from it. We had the advantage of the last century to prepare for a demagogue like Trump.
however, we can gain keen insights into trump/Hitler comparisons by reflecting back on how trump reacted to a variety of events that happened under his watch.
Has Trump shown any concern for his people? affer that hurricane hit PR, remember how he shot paper towels at them? Has he shown any real concern for Republicans? Did he care when our troops were being killed off by Russian bounties? Has he cared at all about the death and destruction wrought by covid? Over 3,500 Americans died yesterday from it. Has he made a peep about them? What about when border security opened fire with rubber bullets and tear gas on a bunch of immigrants? He encouraged Sec Nelson to do that more often. What about the kids in cages thing? Did he ever show any concern for them? Has he ever actually condemned racism? Remember Charlottesville and ******** countries?
3. Trump is lazy as hell. The only times he shows any ambition is to have sex with a porn star, hold rallies, and commit crimes. Hitler was very ambitious.
