Hitler und Trump
Feb. 8th, 2020 06:47 am~There are obviously a lot of comparisons made between Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump. But to be honest, such is an insult to Adolf Hitler...and yes, Hitler was a murderous monster without doubt.
But Hitler was not a coward. He served for four years as a message runner on the Western Front in World War One, a highly dangerous job. We all know about Cadet Bonespurs.
And Hitler was not an illiterate. He read extensively and could ramble on for hours about history and politics. A lot of what he said was couched in an evil paradigm, but he did know his history. Trump is an illiterate moron who knows nothing, but grifting.
However, there is one very specific thing they both have in common: Their Cult Following is almost totally dependent upon them. When Hitler died, it was like an Evil Spell had been lifted from Germany. Trumpism will die with Trump. And like Hitler, those who followed him will be haunted and pursued for generations for the crimes them committed in his name.
