Hitler was all the rage in 1932. Here’s a short clip (with a daring little pun buried inside) from one of the new episodes of my TV show, airing now across the country on public television and online at www.ricksteves.com/tv.

We had a fascinating time filming the Nazi Documentation Center in Hitler’s favorite city, Nürnberg. It’s fascinating (and, hopefully, instructive) to think of the tenor of those turbulent times in Germany and how Hitler came to power. His specialty: huge rallies, stoking the fears of angry masses (especially fears of minorities), and a dumbed-down message that repeated lies and insults until his followers started shouting them back. He had a passion for constructing buildings as bombastic as his speeches.

To this day, Germans ask: How could this have happened? Hitler was a master of media and the mass hypnosis of the German nation. His populist promises (coming on the heels of tough economic times) led to catastrophe. One positive that came from this: to this day, Germany works to make its electorate not dumbed-down, but smarter. Perhaps another positive: that we might take the lessons history wants to teach us a little more seriously.

Another not very subtle attack on Trump and, by extension, Trump supporters, likening us to Hitlerites.

In fact, Steves is a pro-pot supporter, a Hillary ally, a globalist and an a virulent anti-Zionist:

You can do MORE than merely vote for Donald J. Trump tomorrow.

You can STOP patronizing this creep, and businesses like his, which take our money and use it to promote an agenda and candidates who are destructive of our Republic.

You might even choose to register a complaint to Steves' business number:

425-608-4217

It MIGHT encourage this creature NOT to mix his twisted politics with his business!

I’ll never watch another one of his shows...

Where the Hitler analogies fall apart is when you get to the homo/pedo stuff. Then the Hitler finger points back at them.

[Lucky2]

I was going to go on one of his tours, forget it now! Won’t spend a dime to support that guy.i

[VanDeKoik]

Me neither.

Shame, because I liked them, and thought the man to be just a passionate travler.

Nope. Has to go full retard.

Hitler liked abortion, gun control, euthanasia, and was an anti-vivisectionist just like Hillary and her ilk.

So this guy has it reversed.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Thanks for this. I am done with Steves.

Rick Steves obviously agrees with Germany's decision to import millions of Islamofascists. He and Hitler have far more in common than he thinks.

Reading what you posted from the article I thought it was talking about likening HRC to Hitler. She is anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, wants to get rid of the People’s rights to self defense, including the right to self-defense against a corrupt gov’t and she wants to get rid of free speech. Her followers freely talk about killing their political enemies.
Who does that remind you of?

[Defiant]

Hillary is Hitler without the rallies.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I had already figured out he was another leftist propagandist.

[HereInTheHeartland]

So Hitler essentially was a Democrat?

[Sans-Culotte]

Maybe the next PBS fund-raising drive can feature the wedding of Rick Steves and Ken Burns. They’d make a great couple.

Rick..."I’ve purchased my flight to Washington DC and pre-paid for my hotel. I fully expect to be celebrating the inauguration of Hillary Clinton on January 20th, and America (and the world) will breathe a collective sigh of relief...assuming we all get out and vote."

Rick must live in a bubble...parrots rather than investigate...does Mr. Steve not know about the Clinton's Global Initiative self enrichment or Hillary's other criminal activities?....He is so incorrect in his assessment of Hillary and Trump....

[TruthWillWin]

Hitler also was a socialist like Hillary.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Hitler never got more than 7% of Germans to vote for him.

Just like Hillary tomorrow. ;)

[Moonman62]

The problem with Hitler was he went extrajudicial (above the law). That describes Hillary, not Trump.

[AppyPappy]

Hitler supported the killing of the innocent because they were sub-human.... Hillary supports it as well.

[Salvey]

thought the man to be just a passionate travler.

I've never trusted him; he plays the role of an “aw shucks” backpack traveler on a low budget, but I suspect he really stays at the best 5 star hotels, eats at the top rated Michelin restaurants, and drinks $300 bottles of wine. And all the while laughing at us jerks for buying into his shtick.
