Not to worry about wrapping your head around it, because I would put the odds at 50-50 that you will be SEEING Corn-Pone Hitler in the next 20 years, so try and at least wrap your had around him (or her) when they get here.

Funny how history repeats, and if it doesn't repeat it sure does rhyme. Click on "Oath Keepers" and you can see the core group of new "Corn-Pone Hitler" Law Enforcement. Ironically, and when dealing with Nazis, Bushies, and Right-Wing Authoritarian Followers in general, one must expect irony to be something of a dead concept, since Orwellian "black-is-white" "oppressor-is-victim" liturgy is their Mother's Milk.

It's VERY complicated, and would take an entire book to explain the concept in full. It has, in my opinion, so many facets that a multiple of sources is required to fully understand it all.

One facet:

The "Oath Keepers" as the Brownshirts before them, are only worried about the "freedom" of them and people who think as they do. Because OBAMA is in office. However, you can take it to the bank that, if called upon by President Bush or Palin to round up the Liberals Who Threaten Our Nation With Their Verminous, Cancerous Evil and send them to "Relocation Camps", they'll round us up with cheerful smiles on their faces.

And as for Corn-Pone Hitler, he (or she) will be the one who comes along and unifies the Tea Party/Patriots/KKK in a NEW and IMPROVED American style, tailored for a fresh, bold NEW generation of "21st Century conservatism".

(Old Hitler's brand has been discredited, and thus too closely aping him would be bad PR and marketing)
