Having just finished reading the recently published and highly acclaimed "Hitler: Ascent, 1889-1939" by Volker Ullrich, there are indeed plenty of parallels.

Watch the French film "The Sorrow and the Pity" to see just how fast and easy it can happen.

Life is indeed a circle of repeating patterns.

The media has made billions rhyming Trump with Hitler.

Not even close.

Because it's true. Ever thought of that?

Jews>Mexicans/Muslims
Brownshirts>Proud Boys
Lügenpresse>Fake News
Völkischer Beobachter>Fox News
Goebbels Big Lie(s)>Trump's Big Lie(s)
Horst Wessel>Ashli Babbitt
International Jewish Bankers>George Soros
Beer Hall Putsch>January 6
Trump/Hitler cult of personality
Stoking street violence/societal chaos and then claiming "I alone can fix it"
Dochstoss>Stab in the back (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/23/o...cy-theory.html)
Hitler's duplicitous relationship with Stalin>Trump's duplicitous relationship with Putin

Even Trump's own Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Milley (a highly educated man), compared Trump's attempted machinations with DoD "Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s, calling Trump’s supporters 'brownshirts in the streets' and fearing what he called a 'Reichstag moment.'”

I think the better comparison would be one of Benito Mussolini and Trumps personality. The comparisons of the henchmen of Hitler and this cults potential is scary to think about.

I wrote that because it's true and thanks for providing so many supporting examples.

Your first example also shows how foolish it is to conflate Trump with Hitler. After the Nazi coup, Hitler exterminated 6m Jews and turned Germany's garden into a wasteland. Trump and his Repubzis didn't exterminate anyone and our garden is fine.

See what Twain was pointng out about rhymes?

Coflating Trump with Hitler in order to sell more papers is a form of fake news.
