I no longer wonder how the people of Germany so willingly acquiesced to Hitler. They had been through a war and two bouts of hyperinflation that destroyed their economy and left most of them living on the edge of starvation, taking trains to the countryside and stealing crops from farmers to eat. Many remembered a time when Germany was a rich industrial power, and cities like Berlin were filled with ornate buildings built during better times. Hitler promised to resurrect Germany's economy and make it a great power once again.
In comparison, most Americans have enough to eat or almost enough, certainly people aren't driving to farms and stealing crops at gunpoint. We had a bad financial crash, and inflation, but nowhere near the collapse of the monarchy and the billion percent inflation in Germany. America is a declining power, yes, but we still have some power, we haven't had Russia and China kicking Americans out of their military bases. Germany's colonies were given to Belgium after WW1, an equivalent would be China forcing us to hand over our Pacific bases to them.
Yet we still have people cheering for Trump, who is like Hitler with a few billion dollars in the bank. Even worse, the SAME people who worried about Obama junking the Constitution support Trump doing such things as revoking the birthright citizenship of people born to immigrants and kicking Muslims out of the country, and doing it via executive order. These people would have the firepower necessary to resist a Hitlerian power grab, yet they seem to support it as long as it's "our guy" doing it.
So, maybe it's time to retreat to the woods and try to survive WW3, not that I'm sure that an all out nuclear war would be survivable anyway.
