10. Precisely. So many parallels it makes me shudder.
Doing my research this morning, I came across this:

(Hitler's policies) were half-baked, racist clap-trap... but among the jumble of hysterical ideas Hitler showed a sure sense of how to appeal to the lowest instincts of frightened masses.

Tony Howarth, a modern historian.


The more thoughtful Germans were appalled to see what was happening in their country and found it very hard to believe that such obvious manipulations would work on their fellow citizens. Not only were they wrong then, to their great horror, but people in America who have thought the same thing for too long have allowed the same sort of takeover to occur here.

It's a done deal already; now the criminals in power just have to find ways to maintain their hold.
