Studying about the rise of Hitler, one of the things that stands out is that he signaled everything he was going to do long before he did it. But people didn’t believe him. They thought it was just crazy, he must be joking, that that could never happen in such a strong democracy.

The countervailing argument against that is that Germany was NOT a strong democracy - not after WWI and during the Great Depression. There was enormous turmoil in the weak government, inflation was colossal and the population still reeled from having "lost" the war (by treaty).

Ummm he could have used a Covid emergency to be all dicatatory. Instead he gave more power to the states. Trump's a federalist. Your hyperbole is off the charts.

Our democracy is not strong. The majority of senators voted against hearing evidence during an impeachment trial!

Our democracy is not strong. The Attorney General is trying to spring Michael Flynn, who admitted his guilt twice under oath!

Difference is he wasn't a puppet for anyone the way Trump is.

I'm really glad to see that you've realized just how dangerous a Biden presidency could be.

I read the rise and fall of Hitler. And the rise and fall of the third Reich when I was in the 3rd grade. ( yes I was reading better and faster than high school students in the 3rd grade and was titled by my teacher as a "prodigy" Source; Black River Elementary, records.
