Trying to pick the lesser of two evils - Stalin of the 1930s and Hitler prior to WW2, I would have to side with Hitler...although Hitler was pretty darn bad, even then.
“Uh....why is it even necessary to engage in such a thought exercise?”
Good point. The left lives by that. They know Islam is not good for them either (i.e., how many Gay Pride parades are there in Saudi Arabia every year?), yet they’ve been using Islam, FOR DECADES, to weaken their opposition and gain power (particularly in Europe). I guess they figure that once the wipe out conservative opposition, they then can take on Islam.
I wish them luck, but they won’t stand a chance at that point.

I’m still thinking about your comment. I remember in one of Thomas Sowell’s books, in the chapter on brainwashing in our schools, he mentions the “lifeboat problem”, where you have a lifeboat that holds 10 people, but 11 people need to be rescued. How do you decide which person to leave behind? Easy answer - you deal with the situation when you come to it (which is never, since you’re 100 times more likely to win the lottery).
I read some stuff on Hitler and by 1937, when Kennedy showed has admiration for him, he well into making life miserable for the Jews - there was no reason to admire him and say he was perfect for Germany.
