Last night, I watched an entire Netflix series about Hitler's rise to power. As one does. It's called, "The Dark Charisma of Adolf Hitler: Leading Millions into the Abyss". 1/x

This is important because the fact that Hitler was so successful (economic gains, bloodless military victories, etc.) and for so long was CRITICAL to his rise to power. 3/x

Many of us have accepted this idea that somehow all of the German people were virulently racist before Hitler and/or were brainwashed by him. Kind of like how we are viewing Trump supporters now. 4/x

Here's the thing: Hitler didn't "brainwash" the German people as much as they embraced the brainwashing because they LIKED WHAT HE GAVE THEM. 5/x

They LIKED being told they were special. They LIKED being told others were to blame. And, they LIKED the SUCCESSES. They LIKED the appearance of his and their infallibility and specialness resulting from the SUCCESSES. 6/x

Trump talks over and over about "WINNING". BUT HE ISN'T WINNING. He is NOT having success on ANY front. His failures are ESSENTIAL to stopping his forward movement into full-blown authoritarianism. 7/x

In short: Charisma, racism, and related propaganda is NOT ENOUGH for him to succeed in destroying our republic. As long as Trump continues to FAIL - in part because of the ferocity of OUR RESISTANCE to him and his goals - the threat he represents can be defeated.

I recommend "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." Particularly the first two-hour episode, "The Rise." The similarities to what's going on here, right now, will stand your hair on end. They show it with relative frequency on The

I also think that part of the length (and by default the extent) of his success was around control of communication. Communications today are very different and harder to control, though certainly not impossible.

I am so enjoying following you, but this tweet makes no sense to me. You knew that he systematically killed six million Jews for years. What exactly didn’t you realize about how extensive his “successes” were? Also, maybe consider a different word, other than success.
-
Hitler WAS successful, just like the systematic racism/sexism, etc are successful. He found a scapegoat (Jews, Roma, homosexuals, the "crippled") just like Chump is doing. What else can you call it other than a grotesque success?

Yes. Why, after a visit the Nuremberg I was screaming about Trump. If you haven't read In The Garden of Beasts do immediately. It shows, clear as a bell how American antiSemitism helped Hitler rise and rise.

I don't think a comparison to Trump is entirely apt except in terms of certain appeals he makes. He's an old man, the economy is not in tatters, and he also won't likely survive to another term of office even if he wants to. He's not getting any younger. He never planned to win.
-
I have never bought the theory that Trump didn't plan to win. However, I also came into replies to note the incredible difference in our economy compared to Germany's when Hitler & co. were rising. It doesn't sound like a very good documentary from the summary tweets.
-
Well it's pretty obvious that Trump isn't a leader and has never had those qualities, and he was as realistic about the polling before the election as everyone else. He wanted to be seen as a close contender, and bark at the sidelines and monetize the whole thing.

Well, he was a popular man for well near 15 years if not longer.
