People get triggered by Hitler references and they try to put that bastard out of bounds as if his name is some social taboo that can never be mentioned in a comparative sense.
Fuck that.
Hitler was the OG of Authoritarianism.
As such his play book is exactly what we should be referencing when leaders with seemingly unlimited power act in authoritarian ways.
Hitler played a game, Trump is playing a game, Maduro is Trumps Poland, a move that while seeming outrageous, is more palatable than some of his other plans....and the reason the move is more palatable is that people care less for Venezeula - as they cared less for Poland, than they care for say Greenland, or Canada....or in Hitlers case France.....
Do you know what an analogy is? you asked me for proof and evidence etc....(which gets tiresome, just learn what analogies and metaphors and thought experiments mean, and probably look up opinion too).
