I am saying Trump - along with many other leaders, including Bush, Reagan, Clinton and Johnson - are using the Nazi STRATEGIES and TACTICS for control. They are using the same playbook, if you will.
Keep the people insulated and ignorant.
Keep the people distracted by falsehoods and meaningless arguments.
Keep the people docile by financially entrapping them so they cannot afford to protest.
Keep the people stuck in their beliefs, ignoring reality and facts.
Keep the people divided - "us" against "them".
On and on. No, Trump is not "Hitler". He (along with most post-1945 politicians) saw how the Nazis took over and controlled Germany and use those same tactics, albeit in a less-dramatic, less-"Hitler" way.
If people do not see these patterns and strategies and fail to stop them then...we all get what we deserve.

I don't think those are "Nazi" strategies.
Just the same ones that have been used for centuries based on "The Prince" by Machiavelli written in the 1,500's.
We were taught all of that in Western Civ classes in high school. Remember?
There are always basic truths on how to do anything in life. And yeah, to be a leader and get people to follow you...those basics never change.
