….Yet.

I always like the “he’s not Hitler” comments.

I’d ask if someone (Dark if he likes) can tell me the exact time in history Hitler became The Evil Murderous Hitler and not just Hitler.

Was it 1919 after WW1 and he got into politics and joined the Workers Party?

Was it 1924 when he got out of jail and started to get some notice for his politics about how Germany was stepped on by the war?

Was it in 1933 when he and his party grew large enough to be Chancellor and he started to let it be known the Jews were not wanted in Germany and they and others would be forced out.

Or was it in 1939 when he invaded Poland for all intents beginning WW2?

Or was it after WW2 when it became very clear just how evil murderous he was?

As far as I can tell…he was Hitler all along but he needed the care and feeding of others that allowed for him to get out of control.

Where is Trump if we overlay similar timelines? Would he at least be Hitler say 1930 or so when he was getting political recognition and building the numbers to get a national presence and office?

He has got to be at least a little bit Hitler. I just hope people realize Hitler built up to be the Hitler we all know after the fact. And with a little actual historical knowledge we can see that slow building in TRUMP. Let’s hope we are all smart enough to not learn the real hard lessons after the fact again.
