Trump unleashing the military and national guard in L.A. is reminiscent of authoritarians like Hitler who deliberately created chaos as an excuse to erode democratic norms and gain more power.
I’ve been saying this all along. Trump’s ascension to power is incredibly and frighteningly similar to Hitler’s path to autocracy. The problem is that the majority of people who follow him do not have any sense of history. They do not care about so many people being sidelined, that hate seems to rule the day, that what is happening now will carry on for decades. Even if Trump were replaced right now, even if Vance became “ruler” and someone else took over in 2028, the long term effects of Trump world will last for decades. What has been torn asunder will never be the same. If those supporters of Trump expect things to be better they need their heads examined.
Wajahat congratulations on your guest invitations, that was a fascinating insight by Professor Timothy Ryback into how Hitler was able to manipulate himself into dictatorship by dismantling democracy by democratic means. America be on your guard do not let history repeat itself.
wow, very interesting! I watched from the tip of the African Continent . . . here it is the calm land, we have had the whole apartheid issue, I do not undermine that. But my goodness, what is happening over there is just mind bending. Watchahat Ali, I enjoy you so much!
Both Putin & Miller. What do you think those many long phone calls & a bunch of meetings with Putin are about? Part of it is Putin advising or instructing Trump tactics for taking total control of a nation, just like he did, & of course, Hitler, whose books Trump (as well as Miller) has read, did.
Fascinating interview and chillingly similar to what’s happening now. Thank you for all you’re doing to keep the alarm bells ringing. May we all stay awake to what’s happening and come together for the good! 🙏🏼

Thank you so much Richard, for all of critically important points you made. I couldn’t agree with you more.

Thank you for this very informative piece-thank you Tim-you are a great historian!
t might be following Hitler and Mussolini's playbook. But his instructor was Putin.
I'd say his instructor is Steven Miller....

Stepen "Nosferatu" Miller ~ is the t-Rump whisperer.
It is all painfully familiar. Step by step. We’ve been warning you since long before the election.

Brilliant. Bit alarming to realise that Trump is potentially more deranged than Hitler was
It is frequently said he's following Hitler's playbook to dictatorship. Does no one wonder what then, and look further to death camps and world war??
Exactly like our Republican MAGA Congress!
To keep their jobs, to keep from being primaried, MAGA Senators and Representatives pass anything Trump wants and violate their oaths of office.
They’ve sold their souls and sold out the American people. I don’t care what they’re afraid of, or what he’s threatened them with - or promised them.
They each took an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. They officially, already, have no credibility at all.
Need to get this out to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was wonderful. It is good to hear other voices of history besides the same olds....(not disparaging same olds).
