Donald Trump is following Hitler’s playbook to the letter. First, he energized his nationalistic base by demonizing a group of “outsiders,” blaming them for the country’s problems, while declaring opposition political parties enemies of the state.
Next, Trump attempted to suppress newspapers and other media outlets that are communicating the truth about him, offering instead fascist propaganda promoting hatred and fear. Hitler formed the Gestapo and the SS to brutally crush any resistance to his power grab. Trump is using ICE and the National Guard to establish fear among immigrant communities.
Hitler and Trump have both lamented “impure blood lines.” The facts, as reported by legitimate news outlets, prove this to be an apt analogy.
Trump and the current rendition of the GOP are Nazi Germany. The Democrats are the French Resistance. On which side of history do we want to fall?
