Really? So the individual comparing Trump and his millions of supporters to mass murdering Hitler and the Nazis could be a perfectly legitimate comment?
Amazing.
I think you are overstating and even misstating the comment. Because of Hitler’s book, people should have known what they were buying. That does not mean they did. I haven’t read any of the candidates books. I have heard a lot about Trump’s books, especially “The Art of the Deal,” so I know some things there. What I know bothers me in that I think you cannot be sure of his true goals. There is nothing ideologically the same as Hitler. The similarity is in the fact that a lot of people are getting very enthusiastic when they do not really know what they are signing up for. The similarity ends there. Trump is no Hitler.
Another similarity:
People are so fed up with the way things are, they will overlook a lot of things that would otherwise bother them in order to gain a few issues. Germans did that with Hitler. It is a point of how people tend to act like herds of sheep rather than individual, principled thinkers. That is not a statement for Trump people only. It is people in general. When the crowd gets frustrated, people turn into, well, herds, or mobs, or whatever similar word you choose.
It really isn’t about Trump more than it is about the turncoat politicians who have been promising solutions only to do the opposite once in office. They created the mob. Trump is the guy who happens to be there, is not “one of them” and is a forceful leader — so the herd follows. I am not sure we can blame anyone but the GOPe. Human nature is what it is.
