I do remember that, Curt. It's only America's system of checks and balances and its electoral systems that kept Trump in check, which is why the Trumplican Party has been zeroing in on and weakening those institutions.
If Trump were to become president again, I wouldn't expect him to follow Hitler's playbook to a tee; I don't see him invading Mexico or Canada or waging genocide. It would be a uniquely Trumplican form of fascism that would probably only last as long as Trump remained physically able to rule, its central mission being manipulating the levers of power to bring Trump and his cronies unimaginable wealth at the expense of our natural environment and the working class - a kleptocracy, like Putin's Russia, which btw is why Trump admires Putin so much.
