The article below written several years ago, displays how one narcassistic power hungry man can bring down a nation.
How Dictators Come To Power In A Democracy
Dictatorships are often unexpected. They have arisen among prosperous, educated and cultured people who seemed safe from a dictatorship – in Europe, Asia and South America.
Consider Germany, one of the most paradoxical and dramatic cases.
During the late 19th century, it was widely considered to have the best educational system in the world.
Why, then, did the highly educated Germans embrace a lunatic like Adolf Hitler? The short answer is that bad policies caused economic, military and political crises – chow time for tyrants. German circumstances changed for the worse, and when people become angry enough or desperate enough, sometimes they’ll support crazies who would never attract a crowd in normal circumstances.
Hitler’s main talent seemed to be as a speech maker, so he began giving speeches that appealed to Germans embittered and disillusioned by the outcome of the war. He denounced Jews, capitalists and other alleged villains, vowing to rebuild German greatness
How Dictators Come To Power In A Democracy
The above sound familiar. Trump, Hitler different men different times. Different issues, but both power hungry narcassists.
Although, each man driven by power, each with the ability to pray on peoples fears and prejudices.
Each make false promises.
Hitler completely destroyed his country. Trump is on his way.
Trump, has taken our nation from social economic stability to; millions unemployed, businesses closing, virus chaos and civil unrest.
Yes Covid entered the U.S. on it's own the way of any infectious disease, but what happened next from trump and his administration, was and will be talked about for years, as the worse crisis response in the history of the U.S.
What is trump's answer: Well Trump one upped Hitler, trump created the crisis and now he uses his unforced error crisis to fear monger, well fear monger about himself in his speeches.
Isn't it strange that trump's "MAGA" has caused civil unrest, covid chaos and economic freefall and trump want's 4 more of his MAGA
Trumps' "MAGA" I'm just not seeing it!
Let's not continue down the road of Hitlers Germany
