Germany was almost dead. One couldn't carry enough money to buy a loaf of bread. Hitler came to power and almost conquered the world. I am not endorsing Hilter in any way but stating a fact history will not do.
If memory serves, the hyperinflation was long since past by the time the Nazis came to power. That aside, you're not paying attention. The point was not that the time is ripe at present for such an eventuality, but that the circumstances are such that the seeds of autocracy can easily be sown by the election of a strong-willed, unprincipled populist like Trump. Obama and the Congress have in fact already begun the process, the former by circumventing the Constitution with impunity; the latter by passively sitting back and allowing him to do it.
Obama did the same.....
Your analogy is right on.
PS: you are NOT saying Trump is Hitler as some want to put words in your mouth. You are speaking of the times and of hysteria of the masses.
