A noted historian of Nazi Germany makes some disheartening comparisons between Germany under Hitler and today’s USA. This is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of this country. Notable quotes:
“If the US has someone whom historians will look back on as the gravedigger of American democracy, it is Mitch McConnell.”
“The notion that a Trump presidency indebted to Putin is far preferable to the nightmare of a Clinton victory will signal the final Republican reorientation to illiberalism at home and subservience to an authoritarian abroad.”
“Trump is not Hitler and Trumpism is not Nazism, but regardless of how the Trump presidency concludes, this is a story unlikely to have a happy ending.”
