"THAT'S OUR HITLER!"

In Namibia, a certain politician named after the former German leader, Adolf Hitler has been elected as a local councilor for the governing Swapo party.
Adolf Hitler Uunona was eleceted with 85% of the votes in the regional vote to emerge the winner in Ompundja, a small town in the far north of the country.
Hitler confirmed that his father gave him the name after the German Nazi leader and probably wasn’t aware of his ideologies.
Hitler, 54, is among the popular politicians in the Soutwest region of the country from his firm stand as an anti-apartheid activist.
Interviewed by the great German tabloid Bild, he said that there was no problem as he grew up that Adolf was acommon name in the former German colony.
“It was a perfectly normal name for me when I was a kid. It wasn't until I grew older that I realized that this man wanted to subjugate the whole world and killed millions of Jews,” he told Bild.
Adolf doesn’t use Hitler in his social media handles, but still apply the name in official documents.
When asked why he couldn’t change the name before, he replied it was too late for that.
"It's in all official documents, it's too late for that," he replied to Bild. He later found a solution: he identifies himself as Adolf Uunona in public, leaving Hitler aside. His wife also prefers to call him Adolf, way to shed some of the weight linked to such a name associated with the worst atrocities of the 20th century.
Namibia was once German colonial territory until the end of World War I.
The Democrats can now post a click bait headline about this.
“I don’t like the sound of ‘ese ‘ere ‘Boncentration Bamps’”
“He’s literally Hitler!!”
“He’s literally Hitler!!”

Holy cow! That means Trump can’t be Hitler. American DemocRATS will be bitterly disappointed.
but it’s Namibia and no one cares
"THAT'S OUR HITLER!"
They think everyone who disagrees with me is Hitler. They called Reagan, Bush, Palin and others Hitler.
I think I’ve only ever known one American-born person named “Adolf” in my life: he was a relative by marriage and was my same age—born in 1957. I believe he was named after his father, who probably was born before the name acquired it’s modern day stigma.
“Springtime for Hitler and Namibia....”
For Woke Namibian Karens “that man is literally Hitler!” is a true statement
He signs into hotels under the name “Donald Trump.”
This is the Bee right?

I guess he is an incumbent winning reelection every couple years, and the media feels compelled to just write the same story each time.
Adolph Coors, the beer magnate.
Born in 1847 in Prussia. I'm sure Adolph was a very popular name in that time and place, well before Hitler.
You mean Adolph Hitler is literally Trump?? Boy, who'd have thunk it!
Adolph Busch, too.
He needs to change that name. “Adolf Hitler Jones” has a nice ring to it.
Yup. Adolphus, actually. Again, born in Germany in 1839, well before Hitler kind of ruined the name for everyone else.
