It's been written that Trump's popularity is based on a sense that a large number of Americans feel they've been left behind or shortchanged by their leadership for a very long time. They want something different. Some say Bernie Sanders and Trump have that in common as well. You tell me if dissatisfaction with government is a probable cause and, if true, tell me whether those who support him are to be listened to or dismissed as having no right to complain.
or tell the truth or acknowledge his changing his positions on things (like trying to get his mistress to get an abortion and now being pro-life). It's whatever way the wind blows (which is a characteristic of politicians anyway) and not admitting he is saying something different. Also encouraging his admirers to beat up any protestors and blaming a whole group of people (Hitler was Jews (and gays and disabled and gypsies and non-Aryans) and Trump is Muslims and immigrants) for all the problems.
He says that he is self-funded but he just loaned the campaign the money and expects to get it back. I wonder, if he can't get it back, will his campaign declare bankruptcy?
Also he has no idea about how he's going to do anything, he's just going to wave a wand and it will be done.
The subject of the OP was ISIS, their superiority complex, their popularity and their trying to be a repeat of Hitler. It wasn't about Hitler, himself. My question of you wasn't about ISIS, Hitler or Trump but about Trump's supporters. Personally, and I've suggested this more than once, I don't care much for Trump's demeanor and think a president should behave quite differently from an unhappy three year old but I also think that it's very important to acknowledge that the man seems to have attracted a great number of allies. Don't you?...or do you think it's OK to pay no attention to them either? I think we'd be foolish to dismiss these people as being of no importance. They are citizens who deserve a voice and deserve to be heard. I said similar about Obama...that he should be listened to but should never have been placed in the White House. All opinions matter and the weight of these opinions increases as the number of people who express them grow.
You will hit the same or worse obstinance too. He's a Marxist economist.
that there will be no killing part this time?
Just a thought here.. if someone had killed the top officials of the nazi army along with hitler.. would you have needed to kill the entire german army..?
isis is the same way.. you need to break it from the top.. more people you kill.. more enemies you make
No one killed the entire German army. I've no idea where you got that idea. I also do not think that warring with ISIS can involve the same strategies that have been used when armies are well organized, predictable, and have leaders one can point at. We've not seen tactics such as are used by ISIS where very small groups or individuals enthusiastically act on their own. We don't count tanks and guns in determining the logistics needed to overpower regiments.
of cutting head of snakes off and the body is then of no problem, what we are dealing with here is a hydra instead. Cut off one head and two spring up in it's place.
with "more people you kill.. more enemies you make"
i am thinking more along the lines of cutting their financial routes.. or political and activist support
As I read, Hitler grew out of a Germany desperate to come out from under continued punishment since WWI. An entire generation of Germans weren't even born when that conflict occurred but were still suffering from it. There wasn't strong German leadership sticking up for the people and Hitler was seen as a kind of "savior". I wasn't there but I've read such things and it seems feasible to me.
Hitler was "one man show". That's not what ISIS is. Germany had both its willing and unwilling soldiers. ISIS is as close as it get to an all volunteer army dedicated to the destruction of all that aren't of their ideology. Hitler's superior attitude (which was based on race) didn't cause folks from around the world to travel to Germany and join his cause. While the end result might be bodies all over the place, I don't see much to compare the two situations, how they sprang up or what their goals are.
...to the Marxist and their Jewish inspired and led Bolsheviks in Russia and them trying 20 years later to export it to Germany. He felt Germany was trapped between the largest bankers in Europe, which were Jewish owned banks, and the Spartacus group among others pushing Germany toward communism, and them attacking in the streets those who were opposed to the growing communist threat to Germany.

The protocols of elders of Zion was accepted as valid at the time. Although it's claimed since then to be a forgery, there's no real proof either way. If it was a forgery done after the fact, it certainly pegged the Bolshevick Revolution and it's aims and actions quite truthfully.

Add to that the "stab in the back" concept that pervaded Germany. If Hitler hadn't had power, someone even worse perhaps like Himmler or Heidrich might have ended up on top and they were the true architects of The Final Solution following the Wanasee Conference when Hitler was entirely concentrated on the War.
And the Weimar Republic and it's Jewish counselors to the govt ended up with hyperinflation and eventually collapse as the Germans decided to look for a different direction. Every so called "myth" contains truth, and some contain a lot, while still called a "myth" by those who write the history afterwards.
Go to historyplace.com and read a non biased report about those days. Some other sites try to mostly blame the Germans, others mostly blame the Jews, so historyplace.com is a relief to have just the facts presented.
