re: #123 Hecubaās daughter
An article from last year ā maybe someone linked it here at that time? ā on how McConnell is playing a role analogous to von Hindenburg. Even the authorās claim that Trumpism isnāt Nazism because, among other differences, āHitler was an open and ideological opponent of the idea of democracy, whereas neither Trump nor the GOP wants to abolish elections.ā doesnāt seem particularly persuasive or comforting.
The one real difference between Trump and Hitler is that Trump has no interest in engaging in warfare to achieve his goals.
Thatās arguable considering how hard heās pushing for armed conflict in Iran, with Bolton in his ear. But on the other end, Hitler waged war to conquer and create an empire. Trump was essentially handed the keys to an empire for the taking, and simply had to do away with the pesky democracy and foreign policy stuff first.
