I believe we are in a similar place as 1930s Germany... ...He gets his information from the National Enquirer and Breitbart for Crying out loud -lol! And we all know that what as so dangerous about Hitler was that he didn't rely on sophisticated and balanced news sources...

>>> I believe we are in a similar place as 1930s Germany.<<< Some of the politics of the right are similar. They intend to make the economy strong through building a strong corporate base and involving everyday people through improved jobs outlook. Other things are different than Nazi Germany. >>>The only thing one needs to know about Trump is that he's a madman. He is a crazy lunatic con man that intends to destroy this country for reasons of spite, to get back at his enemies, a lust for power, the same thing you see when he puts his name on all the buildings, and money.<<< In Nazi Germany the News organizations were completely under the thumb of the state, so Hitler was able to control the explanation of their story. This is not the case in 2017 America. In order for your hair on fire fears to be manifest the process and practices would have to be clear and obvious to the American people. The American people would have to blindly accept their doom, like sheep being led to the slaughter. In 2017 American light of day reality, there is exposure of conduct. We are skeptical of the MSM but they still have the strongest ability to explain our story on a daily basis in terms they decide to promote. We have alternative News sources on Cable and the Internet. We have the internet with anonymous reporters. We have all kinds of web sites to get information from. We have investigative sources that have shown their ability to expose untoward conduct, like Wikileaks and FaceBook. Their success will inspire more in the future.
