No, I did not miss it at all. I totally get it.
I also understand why so many conservatives are falling for Trump as well. He fights back and shouts at his opponents without apology and conservatives love it. We have been whipped dogs for too long, apologizing for our beliefs.
No, I get it.
But, remember, Germany was broken, beaten and in the midst of a great depression....they turned to a man who screamed from the pulpit, who didn't back down and who seemed like he had all the answers.
No, Trump is not Hitler in any way, shape or form. The analogy fits because when you are desperate is when you are most vulnerable for deception.
Now I understand your problem.
You think Hitler with Trump are the same because both had/have charisma in spades.
FRiend, let me explain the difference.
Hitler never built anything! He never even ran a sausage stand at profit. Hitler was a community organizer all his life.
Trump on the other hand has spent his entire life actually building useful things. Like apartment residences, business occupied buildings, skating rinks, world class golf resorts, superb hotels, etc.
Comparing Hitler and trump is exactly same as comparing an elephant with a rat because both have tails! Just because both Hitler and Trump are charismatic individuals does not mean they have anything common in ideology.
