After the Second World War, Americans all wondered how the German people could have been so foolish as to allow Hitler and the Nazi Party to take over the country and carry them into a devastating war.
Unfortunately, I think we are now finding out how for ourselves. But what is really, really dangerous is that, while Hitler required quite a few years to build up a sufficient military, Trump (if he becomes president) will inherent a living military of enormous proportions, ready for use at a moment's notice.
Hitler was just a single individual and could not possibly have done what he did without massive popular support. Likewise, Trump is just a single individual, but what is truly staggering about the American scene today is the massive amount of support that stands with him. In a serious way, the Republican Party is to blame for this. Trump has just harvested the jealousy, hatred, and violence that the Republicans have been fostering for decades.
Trump may lose the nomination or he may lose the election, if nominated, but what is left after that will not be a pretty sight. This nation stands at the brink of Fascism and, unless something happens to change that direction, someone, sometime is going to be able to tip the balance completely over.
