#Hitler1932 - The President

#Hitler1932

It's November 2024, and the echoes of 1932 resonate louder than ever, @UnDaoDu tweeted to @mspopok. This election wasn't about choosing between candidates; it became a referendum on fascism versus democracy—and democracy lost. America has chosen its own #Hitler1932, and history is once again rhyming with chilling precision.

No one can say with certainty if Trump will become a figure like Hitler in 1944. But what if he does? America has now handed him access to the nuclear codes. Now, we're left to ponder if our children's children will someday play a "Would You Kill Baby Trump?" game, just as past generations once debated the fate of Hitler.

The 2024 election has passed, and Americans have made their choice: Trump has returned to power. With that decision, we have risked letting #Hitler1932 rise again in the form of a leader poised to dismantle democratic principles worldwide by withdrawing America as a defender. The consequences now loom large—threatening the end of Ukraine, the destruction of Gaza, and the potential dissolution of a Palestinian state. This was the choice, and America has set its course.

The similarities between @realDonaldTrump and #Hitler in 1932 are unmistakable and chilling. As Germany, weakened by World War I, grappled with high inflation and a crushed national pride, Hitler seized on these fears, blaming Jews for Germany's decline and rallying support with his promise to "Make Germany Great Again." Today, Trump has tapped into Americans' frustrations over costly wars, inflation, and a sense of lost pride—scapegoating undocumented immigrants for the country's challenges and reviving the call to "Make America Great Again."

Both Hitler and Trump anchored their movements in a "Big Lie," using mass rallies to manipulate and indoctrinate followers. For Hitler, the lie targeted Jews, blaming them for Germany's decline; for Trump, it centered on a "stolen election" and the looming threat of a "deep state." Each leader cultivated distrust in the national media, deepened divisions, and painted the establishment as the enemy within. Democratic institutions were cast as infested with "vermin," reinforcing a dangerous "us vs. them" mentality.

Trump's first-term victory took even him by surprise; he hadn't even prepared a speech. Unprepared for leadership, he filled his cabinet with what he called "only the best people"—generals and officials who often clashed with his ambitions and authoritarian impulses. These "adults in the room" frequently stopped him from acting on his more extreme ideas, like deploying troops domestically, shooting protesters, or launching covert missile strikes abroad. By the end of his term, key figures like Vice President Mike Pence, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and Chief of Staff John Kelly openly refused to support his return—a rejection unprecedented in American democracy—as they warned of the fascist threat he posed. In a second term, however, these adults in the room will no longer be there to restrain him.

With four years to plan his return, Trump's remaining loyalists—now backed by the world's richest man, Elon Musk—are closely aligned with the Federalist Society. This is the same group that overturned Roe v. Wade and enabled Trump's near-Führer-like powers through his MAGA-stacked Supreme Court, all to execute #Project2025.

Project 2025, modeled after Putin's roadmap to dismantle Russia's fledgling democracy under Yeltsin, is designed to hijack America's core institutions by replacing over 20,000 government positions with loyalists committed to Trump's agenda. Unlike Hitler, who consolidated power through trial and error, Trump now has a calculated blueprint to erase the checks that restrained him in his first term, reshaping America into an autocratic state that mirrors Putin's Russia—with Musk positioned as the first American oligarch.

With his power now consolidated and loyalists embedded across the government, Trump's agenda is set to enact sweeping actions reminiscent of the darkest chapters in history. Hitler's genocide led to the murder of 6 million Jews. Similarly, Trump's plan targets the removal of 10 to 15 million immigrants from the United States—a massive, taxpayer-funded operation projected to cost billions and strip $7 trillion from the U.S. GDP, causing severe workforce shortages. This plan would lead to widespread family separations, with many families losing their breadwinners and children facing forced separation. America stands on the brink of a dark age, echoing the oppressive conditions imposed on Jews under the Nazis.

Just as Hitler built concentration camps to detain Jews and other targeted groups, Trump's plan would require similar facilities to hold millions of immigrants—and likely political dissidents as well. His intentions extend to prosecuting "undesirables," whether they are members of the media, activists, or others he deems a threat. As in Nazi Germany, it's not difficult to foresee legal Americans—particularly minorities—caught up in the chaos of these quotas and "roundups," all crafted to crush any potential opposition, creating a dystopian America.

The parallels to #Hitler1932 are undeniable. Both leaders rose by exploiting public fears and frustrations, building their support through a "Big Lie" that divided the populace, vilifying entire groups, and intensifying an "us vs. them" mentality. Hitler had the Reichstag fire; Trump had #J6. Both leaders harnessed rallies and media manipulation to indoctrinate followers and erode democratic institutions. Each built a loyal following that believed in their vision and was willing to act on it, even as they dismantled the very democracy they claimed to defend.

This election was a referendum on democracy versus fascism. It wasn't about choosing between two people; it was about choosing the future of our nation. We risked #Hitler1932 becoming #Hitler1944, and now we must face the consequences. The stakes couldn't have been higher. America has spoken, and Trump has returned to power.
