Everyone has noticed the political upheaval over the last few years and the term “dictatorship” is heard more often since the January 6th riot Commission started its deliberations. So we looked back at the greatest dictator in history to see how that came about. We researched the rise of Adolph Hitler and what we found is indeed disturbing in its similarities to today’s situation. First the Hitler particulars…Hitler began his ascent into power in 1932 and immediate dissension over his party, the Nazi Party and the Opposition party was obvious. Hitler instigated an event where 6 storm troopers kicked an opposition party supporter to death in full view of his family. Hitler defended their actions and commended them for their “boundless loyalty”. These 6 individuals were tried and convicted and sentenced to prison. A year later, with even more power, Hitler pardoned all 6 in 1933. He thus began a culture of destroying anyone who failed to follow his edicts. This mentality eventually led to the Holocaust and the death of 6 million Jews who Hitler believed to be subverting Germany’s goals. Mysteriously the Reichstag building burned to the ground as the Hitler image rose. Fast forward to 2017…Then-president Trump pardoned the Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona who had been convicted of torturing and killing hundreds of latinos in what the Sheriff himself called “concentration camps” over a 10 year period. The citizens of Arizona paid over $140 million to defend his actions with their tax dollars. The Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, was freed with no attempt to deny and no show of remorse. Now we see the Trump pardon power in action again with Steve Bannon, General Flynn, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and others who continue to defy and undermine the democratic rule in 2022. Now we have the assault on the US Capitol (remember the Hitler-Reichstag destruction) by Oathkeepers and Proud Boys–who Trump said He loved. It’s almost as if the Hitler-Trump attitude is “let’s destroy the current government’s foundation so there won’t be any remnant for the opposition to embrace”. Anyone who fails to see the similarities between the rise of Hitler and Trump’s actions is blind to reality. The only question remaining: will enough of us regain an intelligent perspective before the OathKeepers and Proud Boys (Storm Troopers) successfully take control?
