And to those of us who were sentient during that war, and lost relatives and friends in the war itself. People who equate any group with the National Socialists (NAZIs) haven't a clue what the NAZIs were like. Even reading history probably isn't enough to give you a serious appreciation for how far from the mark your comparisons are.
Russ,
I agree with you 100% on this for many reasons.
Among them the fact that Trump has apparently no ideology besides money.
But we must understand that the comparison is drawn because there are always common characteristics amongst populist leaders playing with the basic fears and ignorance of voters. By telling US citizens “America first” he has defined a very strong “us vs them” chism, he is telling his voters “your problems come from Chinese or Europeans”.
The reality being that the lack of good public schools in poor neighborhoods/states isn’t because of BMW or American companies manufacturing goods in China, it is the result of public American money being used to fund the development of the F35.
Cheers,
Bernard
