Adolf Hitler and his protégé Donald Trump
A new book by one of the nation’s foremost civil liberties lawyers powerfully describes how America’s constitutional checks and balances are being pushed to the brink by a president who is consciously following Adolf Hitler’s extremist propaganda and policy template from the early 1930s—when the Nazis took power in Germany.
In When at Times the Mob Is Swayed: A Citizen’s Guide to Defending Our Republic, Burt Neuborne mostly focuses on how America’s constitutional foundation in 2019—an unrepresentative Congress, the Electoral College and a right-wing Supreme Court majority—is not positioned to withstand Trump’s extreme polarization and GOP power grabs. However, its second chapter, “Why the Sudden Concern About Fixing the Brakes?,” extensively details Trump’s mimicry of Hitler’s pre-war rhetoric and strategies.
Remote Viewing the Year 2060
Trump is certainly a nationalist, but given his friendly overtures to Jewish people and Israel makes any comparison to Hitler hard to swallow. I am disgusted by both major political parties. These recent Jeffrey Epstein revelations connecting this perverted child molester to high ranking Democrat politicians sickens me. I used to think the Nixon/Republican era Watergate scandal was the high water mark for corruption. And these new revelations of high ranking Democratic supporter FBI/Department of Justice employees concocting the entire Russian collusion scheme (with Hillary Clinton’s financial support) to remove a sitting elected president! Both parties are corrupt but now the Democrats have taken corruption to a new level. Treason I believe! Open your eyes people! We are in big trouble, and neither party deserves our trust or support.
Tom, I believe you apparently missed the point of the article. The comparison Neuborne was making was to the similarities of how Hitler and Trump acquired their power, not what each did with it while ruling. And yes, both parties are corrupt, but it is currently Trump and the Republicans taking corruption to a new level.
Really Tom are you believing this conspiracy story of Hillary-Russian connection. Maybe if you got your news from a wider range of sources you might not be so ready to buy into that storyline. The Russians have used similar techniques in other country’s elections as have we and more too-Cambridge Analytica ring any bells? The point of the interference is more to sow distrust and chaos even if your guy loses as did trump by 2.9 million votes. Except for that electoral college thing which he won by small margins he would not be the chaos=in-chief.
Regarding Epstein you forgot to add that lord trump and he were friends, business associates and party pals, many photos and news reports from that period. Many wealthy men from finance, business and politics were associated with the guy which may turn into a big sordid story or quietly die. That whole “suicide” by hanging thing really sets the conspiracy wheels turning doesn’t it?
Regarding corruption I can’t really disagree that the system is feed and nurtured by vast amounts of money. We live in a time of decline and change so I chose the least worse or the best of a bad deal perfection does not exist in this world. That absolutely makes me reject trump and republican governance without reservation. I have no interest in inflammatory labels and reject retribution but I want all trump republicans out of office before they drive the last nail in our collective coffin.
I agree with Jon the article was much more about the similarities in the path to power and what might happen if this continues. I have never quite understood how pre-Hitler Germany, one of the most advanced country of the time, could fall for the likes of Hitler.
