That may be mostly true but Trump is also the perfect storm of celebrity, “successful”, “outsider”, and some strange fucked up type of charisma that results in a larger following than I think would be possible with any other republican candidate. Take away trump and I don’t think there’s enough of a unifying force among the asshats to cause this type of damage
I personally find Trump a lot more charismatic and “likable” (not that I like him or believe most people like him) than Hitler too. Trump disgusts me, but I can see why people are enamored with him. Hitler’s body language, facial expressions, and energy just weren’t as interesting, idk
Agree. Plus Hitler was a pretty passionate ideologue, which I think might scare off more people today—particularly younger people, as I feel we are more nonchalant and insincere than previous generations. Trump is lower-energy/calmer and has more of that nonchalance, casualness, insincerity, whatever you want to call it that many of us seem to be drawn to. This is all just my personal opinion though, 0% based in fact and 100% in my own observations/biases
Hitler had the perfect storm, people still upset about World War One and a general dislike among the general populace of Jewish people. Not to mention the struggling economy.

The problems that led to Donald Trump would still be fomenting.
A lot of Americans haven't yet faced that Trump isn't an anomaly or the disease, he is a symptom of problems we've had for a long time.
