Hitler was democratically elected Chancellor of Germany in the 1930s.
I had always found that bizarre, non-intuitive and kind of frightening.
So I studied the history of Hitler, Nazi Germany & WW2.
I got a sense of how "It Could Happen Here" -- meaning in my home country: the USA.
One of the things that has alarmed me about Trump for years was how many similarities I saw between his appeal and tactics & those used by Hitler & the Nazis.
It wasn't exactly, perfectly the same.
But enough!
