Just finished a 6-part documentary on Netflix. Hitler and

Nazis, Evil on Trial. It is an account of Nazi Germany as told by CBS Jounalist William Shirer. It tells how Hitler took power and the atrocities the Nazis committed with footage from the war and the Nurenburg Trials. The parallels with how Hitler took power
and Trump are disturbing. Trump has followed Hitler's rise to power to the letter. I think if Trump gains power again he will be
even worse than Hitler. Trump is obviously insane, think of Hitler with nukes!

Just posted similar thing! Parallels.

For example, showing/having no remorse.

What about N. Korea, China?

Things can change very quickly. Is it our turn?

was justified in invading Ukraine just as in the 1930s when Hitler took Austria.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

Great read. I own a well-worn copy.

I’ve read Shirer’s books and many others, but the colorized footage is really powerful and affecting me deeply.

Important that this series is being seen now. Trump and his Trumpanzees are utterly relevant.
