    This time it's even worse, given that the public now has access to a wide range of information. Back in the 1930s, the Nazis tightly controlled the narrative and the flow of information, but Trump doesn't have that power. Despite the lessons of history and the availability of alternative sources, the extreme far-right is still choosing to scapegoat various cultures. Trump isn't the origin of this intolerance, but he's become an enabler, amplifying the voices of hate that were already present.

    His Royal Orangeness is controlling the narrative somewhat by calling all mainstream media that doesn't kiss his butt "fake news" and the MAGAts are eating it up. Again. You can't un-cult a cultist.
    Hitler didn't invent German antisemitism (read Luther - some of it is truly awful), he made use of it as Trump is making use of US resentment towards Islam.

    Wow! You are succinctly stationed in level head subjective reality. The world will just get smaller and madder and will implode and all the kings horses and all the kings men will be captured by totalitarianism and capitalism. It seems women love dictators and hate what they perceive as weakness. Fascista! Those two anyways. Bummer bombers. All they want is babies!

    The current administration is trying to divide and distract us. By pitting Americans against each other, they think we won't notice the concentration of power in the hands of a few oligarchs. Citizens on both sides need to quit fighting each other and join forces to prevent a takeover. This has been brewing for years and we are at a turning point. I hold out hope that Republicans will wake up before it's too late and that Democrats will get rid of their weak leadership and start to fight back.

    Would you rather the Democrats be in power, running things?

    Neither party is doing a good job, in my opinion. As I have heard said, the Republicans have no shame and the Democrats have no spine.

    The Republicans are showing themselves to be pretty spineless, too.  Hardly any of them are willing to stand up to Trump, even when they know he is doing something the Constitution does not permit him to do.  There is a reason the Founding Fathers set up the Republic with three co-governing branches, yet Trump believes he is the last word (his word) on every level.  I can see four years of nothing but lawsuits with little actually getting done to help the middle/lower classes.

    King Log is always preferable to King Stork. Ever heard of Æsop?
    Biden was a stuffed shirt, a career politician, as dead as Reagan was - but he did what Ronnie did and provided a front while the Veep and Cabinet secretaries ran things, and did it competently enough. Now Trump has replaced those secretaries with his billionaire buddies who know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the portfolios they are supposed to be responsible for, and has a brain dead cretin as a VP who was so ineffective as a Senator that NOT A SINGLE ONE of the bills he sponsored or co-sponsored got passed. Not one.

    Just as Hitler did and Putin has done, while directing local anger elsewhere. MAGA has borrowed quite a lot from the Nazi playbook.
