I'm german. I remember learning about Hitlers rise to power in school. A lot. It was important. We were thought this to make sure history does not repeat itself.
Roughly 8 years ago, I was thinking that it's weird that apparently this isn't something American people can see.
January 6th 2020, I was thinking the same thing.
The only difference in that revolution, revolt, or whatever you want to call it (In German, it's called a "Putsch") was that Hitler had won. It looked so similar.
Actually storming the capital. With people that have been organized by their political party. Obviously the methods are different, there was no internet in Hitlers time, but it's effectively the exact same thing as gathering the SA was.
Trumps campaign this year looked WORSE than the campaigning Hitler did.
Hitler was like. Yknow. Trying to blame a group (mainly the jewish, although other groups have been targeted as well, communists, queer people, disabled people, from what I remember. But the jewish were the main thing that was campaigned with) for something that had actually happened (a lost war, and very harsh economic and political punishments by the Treaty of Versailles), even if they were absolutely not responsible. At all.
Trump is just making things up to blame on a group. Several groups. There isn't even a lost war or heavy sanctions or reparation costs on the US.
He's actually being worse. The same, at best. And somehow people get upset at the comparison.
I genuinely cannot believe people would vote for a second Adolf Hitler.
