Do Some of us Need a History Lesson?

The news is out there. Trump has gone full-throttle Hitler. He is such a fan of Htler and goes on about him. Do you remember Hitler? The guy who believed German 'Aryan' races should dominate. He wanted young physically fit Aryans running around who were totally obedient to him. He had 6 million Jews killed. GENICIDE. This is the history of WW2. And Trump is a fan of this guy and isn't shy about it. That should be the #1 red flag.
Trump is saying some awful things about his former chief of staff, John Kelly because he remembered when Trump said he wished he had Generals like Hitler. Trump continually praised Hitler and promised an authoritarian regime if he was elected.
No, Trump is not Hitler but, he is a political leader who is popular because of his personality, not because of any actual policy proposals. Most of what he discusses at his rallies is how he has been victimized and how he will order the military to the streets to arrest 'the enemy within'( or our fellow Americans) if he is elected.
Less than two weeks now to decide what kind of world we want to live in.

Trump is no where near what Hitler is. That claim is ridiculous.

Very close. He is a big fan and wishes he had Generals like Hitler had. He wants that same sort of power here. Aren't you watching what he is saying? Don't you see the truth?

Trump has not murdered 6 million Jews. But the comparison is valid. The main difference, to me, is that the US was not beset by anything like the Treaty of Versailles when Trump appeared on the scene. I did find Trump to be "funny" in 2016. I abhor political correctness. (Of course I did not vote for him.). But it's not funny at this point.

@celticeagle I feel relieved when I hear people like General Kelly talking about Trump. He (Trump) does NOT have the military on his side, and this means it would be more difficult for him to stage a full on coup.

I thought he is a Christian. He is a believer of Christ.

@celticeagle Do you really think he had people tear gassed so he could pose in front of a church with a bible? I have not gone down that worm hole.

Yup. VOTE! not for Rump, though. If he wins, Armageddon. When he loses, civil war. Why isn't the CIA 'neutralising' him?

I could say something mean but I won't. I hope that when he loses he leaves here and doesn't try next time.

@celticeagle He has very little left in his brain. I think the press is downplaying his senility because they want the presidential race to be close. They claim to lean Left, but are tacitly supporting Trump.

Trump says so many weird things that I don´t understand how is it that so many people whant still to vote for him. He has always had personality flaws but now you have to add his age.

@TheHorse .........Rather old. The term originated in a 1938 play of the same name.

It's called gaslighting. And he's good at it.

Don't they have other nominee besides Trump? I think he lost his marbles or was he really doing that on purpose and hopes people would vote for him still?

He has nothing to lose anymore by trying to hide it. He either wins or loses. I think he knows he won't get very far in 4 years if he loses this time.

Trump keeps drawing the comparison himself--it is what he would like to have, to be--to vote for him, people either need to be willfully ignorant or embrace cruelty--

Did I already post this where you can find it? It's interesting. It's Orwell's review of Mein Kampf, written in 1940.
It is difficult not to think of Trump as you read, but I have spoken of the differences between Trump and Hitler elsewhere on your post.

Do you think Trump ever changes his clothes?

I wonder. He wears the same color suit all of the time. Have you heard the things said about his lack of countenance and expelling gas?
