Georgia Girl, thesocurged1 wasn't implying that Trump is another Hitler. That's a kneejerk response. It's clear, if we put aside emotions, that he's just saying bad things happen when we get caught up in emotional frenzy and elect leaders based on such feelings.

Hitler, an unknown German-Austrian nobody who somehow rose to supreme power in Germany on the false hopes and frenzy of Germans hungry for change.

So it is Obama, not Trump: Hitler's seemingly divinely inspired rise to power reminds me a lot of the similar rise to power of an unknown community organizer and two-year United States Senator, Obama.

Unknown Obama rose to sudden power on the wings and frenzy of mesmerized dreamers who wanted so badly to be part of history by electing the first black person to be president, that they forgot to stop and take the time to really examine Obama's background to make sure that Obama was the real deal and not the fraud and incompetent president he has turned out to be.

So to me, Hitler's magical rise from a nobody to supreme political leader reminds more of the breathtaking rise to power of an obscure Obama than to the political rise of Trump, who has been in the public eye for at least 30 years.

I wasn’t going to post to this thread anymore, since it was veering off the road a little too much (I’ve been at work all evening anyhow). But I had to say ‘bravo’ to your analysis, it’s excellent. No matter who the person in question is, the word FRENZY is the keyword. For the hypersensitive out there, I’ll use the story of a chunky Italian guy with an eye for the ladies and choo-choo trains, next time.
